Who Holds the Manager: A Manager-Containment Diagnostic

A team coming apart during a reorg, merger, or AI rollout is very often a readout of a break in the manager, one they have managed to hide, including from themselves. This diagnostic finds it in 20 minutes.What you get. An interactive 15-question diagnostic that scores your situation on three patterns, container strain, defensive response, and structural holding, then places you on a 2x2 and hands you three priority moves for where you land. 20 minutes, in your browser, no sign-up.Why you want it. When a team comes apart during a change, the cause is usually a manager who is holding everyone else and is held by no one. The break hides, including from the manager, until it surfaces as attrition and disengagement.How it helps you. It shows you exactly where the container is breaking and whether anyone is holding the person doing the holding, and it gives you the specific next move for your position instead of generic advice.What's inside. 15 questions across 3 scored patterns: container strain, defensive response, and structural holding. An instant 2x2 placement into one of four named positions. Three priority moves tied to where you land. Sourced throughout: Bion, Winnicott, Menzies Lyth, Obholzer and Roberts, and the Grubb Institute's organizational role analysis.Credit toward the course.
