ContributionShift the Game

Features
Read full description

Leadership is not only about delivering results yourself. It is about creating the conditions for others to succeed. The Contribution Shift Game places you inside 20 unpredictable leadership moments where the strongest response is not always the most obvious one. Each scenario asks you to choose how you will contribute. Will you take over, protect the immediate result, delegate without support—or build clarity, authority, trust, capability and follow-through? Your choices shape your contribution pattern across the game. Practise real leadership decisions Work through scenarios involving: * Customer escalations * Burnout and dependency * Delegation and ownership * Innovation adoption * Cross-team delivery * Capability building * Trust, authority and accountability * Results under pressure The strongest answer may appear in a different position each time, so the game tests judgement rather than memory. Track your contribution pattern See how your decisions affect: * Clarity * Authority * Trust * Capability * Responsibility * Accountability * Follow-through * Results * Energy * Dependency Review your progress across recent games and see how your contribution pattern changes over time. Discover your CMMO® maturity Your results are interpreted through the five-level CMMO(R) Contribution Maturity Model for Organisations: 1. Personal Output 2. Reliable Delivery 3. Shared Contribution 4. System Contribution 5. Multiplying Contribution The goal is not simply to score more points. It is to strengthen the conditions that allow contribution to continue without depending on one person. Ask the Contribution Shift Mentor to assist you. Send your latest game results to the online Mentor for personalised interpretation and practical guidance. You can ask a specific question or request a general analysis of your contribution pattern, strengths, risks and next areas of focus. Take the Absence Test - The real test of leadership is what happens when you are not there. - The Absence Test helps you examine whether decisions continue, knowledge travels, capability grows and the system improves without waiting for your return. Built from The Contribution Shift (Book/Website/Framework) The game brings the ideas from The Contribution Shift into an interactive leadership experience. It is designed for specialists, supervisors, managers, project leaders and senior leaders who want to move from personal achievement toward contribution through others. Protect today’s result while building tomorrow’s capability. The Game allows you to Practice the Shift. Begin the shift today.
