The Story Tax

A diagnostic and a system.

The diagnostic tells you what your behavioral patterns are costing your organization — in hours, in dollars, in the capability your team is not developing because you haven't let them.

The system tells you what to do with that number in ninety days.

You run something. A company, a function, a portfolio. You have suspected for years that something in the way you work is costing more than it should.

You had no instrument.

This is the instrument.

Four leaders. One targeted behavioral change. Ninety days.

12 to 25 points dropped from their Story Tax Index score.

3 to 5 hours returned to their week.

Every one of them.

The leaders who got their score and changed nothing — didn't move.
