Proposed board instrument
Portable Leadership Evidence Index
A six-domain assessment that prevents years served from dominating judgment. The index structures evidence; it does not replace it.
Scoring anchors
Use a 0-to-4 scale
- 0 Absent
- 1 Claimed, weak evidence
- 2 Partial or single-context evidence
- 3 Strong evidence, limited replication or durability
- 4 Strong, replicated, independently verifiable, durable
