People Are The Structure
Test Your Architecture
5 questions. 2 minutes. See how much your performance depends on heroics.
This assessment measures architecture, not intent.
Where structure fails, people compensate until they leave.
1. Decision Authority
Can managers clearly state which decisions are fully theirs to make, and do those decisions stand under pressure without being reopened by others?
- Yes
- No
If decisions reopen for reasons of discomfort, seniority, or presence, authority does not exist.
2. Escalation Integrity
When serious disagreement occurs, does escalation follow a known path that resolves the issue without political or career risk to the person escalating?
- Yes
- No
If escalation creates fear, silence becomes rational.
3. Accountability Alignment
Are people held accountable for outcomes also granted authority over the resources and levers required to deliver them?
- Yes
- No
Accountability without authority forces compensation behavior.
4. Response Under Pressure
When targets are missed or conditions shift, does the organization examine structure (decision rights, load, incentives) before correcting individuals?
- Yes
- No
Architecture reveals under pressure.
5. Dependence on Exceptional Effort
If your top 10% of performers left tomorrow, would core operations remain stable for six months without continuous leadership intervention?
- Yes
- No
Heroics signal architectural fragility, not excellence.
Your Results
If your result depends on people compensating for structure, the question is not whether to act, it is how long you will wait.
5 Yes
Architecture carries the load. Excellence is repeatable.
3–4 Yes
Partial architecture. Performance relies on people compensating for design gaps. Drift is active.
0–2 Yes
Structure is failing. Leaders and high performers are load-bearing. Collapse is inevitable.
PMC Interactive Guide
The PMC Interactive Guide provides direct exposure to the architectural logic of Performance Mastery Culture (PMC). It is intended for leaders and operators wanting to understand why decisions fail to hold under pressure, why accountability blurs as conditions change, or why excellence depends on exceptional effort. The guide does not coach, advise, or interpret individuals. It reflects a structural view of performance: how authority, accountability, and governance are designed, and how those designs determine outcomes. The architecture leads.
