Manager Perception Gap · 2-minute quiz

How wide is your manager perception gap?

Twelve questions. Two minutes. The rapid version of the Manager Gap Index. Find where the distance between what you think your team experiences and what they actually experience is widest, before someone resigns and you are left wondering what you missed.

Most managers overestimate their awareness of team concerns by 40 to 60 percent.

The areas you feel most confident about are usually the areas with the biggest distance between perception and reality. That distance is the gap. This quiz measures it across the six dimensions where it shows up.

Score of 60 = highest confidence. Score of 0 = lowest. The result is your perception, not your accuracy.

The full Manager Gap Index measures the gap itself.

What this score actually means.

The areas you scored highest in are not safe by default. They are sometimes the areas you stopped checking.

Your CLOVER breakdown.
