Purpose
Assess whether leadership is producing direction, alignment and commitment
How to Use
From DAC materials. 1. Introduce the DAC framework: Direction (agreement on where we are going and why), Alignment (coordinating knowledge and action across the group), Commitment (willing to do what the work requires). 2. Diagnose the current state: which of the three is weakest? 3. Use the Full DAC Template to map current state across all three dimensions. 4. Identify one specific action to address the weakest dimension. 5. Check back in 90 days.
