This is an opportunity to unlock growth using the instrument of truth, executed through a 1:1 observational conversation with your leader.

### Process

1. **Self-scoring by the Individual.** Including their state of mind behind the score.

3. **Facetime** For threads that are more efficiently closed in a verbal conversation.
