The COS Assessment
The pattern slowing you down isn’t your strategy.
It’s invisible — and measurable.
In just 15 minutes, the Conscious Operating System™ (COS) Assessment reveals the hidden filters steering your leadership — the ones that drain energy, slow alignment, and create drag across your team.
Confidential • Insightful • Results in minutes
Trusted by CEOs, founders, and executive teams — from early-stage to Fortune 500.
You’re working harder than ever to stay aligned — but unseen patterns are pulling energy and focus away from what matters most.
Decisions feel heavier. Alignment takes longer.
The energy that once fueled your leadership now drains faster than it renews.
That’s not failure — it’s feedback.
Something you can’t see is steering your leadership. And it’s costing you velocity.
The COS makes the invisible visible.
Reveal the hidden filters shaping your leadership.
You’ll see what 25 years of executive coaching has taught us to look for. The Conscious Operating SystemTM (COS) Assessment reveals the three ego filters every leader navigates:
NEED TO BE RIGHT
The Pattern:
Controlling through
certainty
The Impact:
Over-explaining, stalled decisions, team silence
NEED TO BE LIKED
The Pattern:
Smoothing over what
needs to be said
The Impact:
Avoided conversations, unclear accountability
NEED TO HAVE MIGHT
The Pattern:
Protecting instead of
trusting
The Impact:
Micromanagement, exhaustion, slowed execution
Each filter shows up across 18 leadership dimensions — from people-pleasing to integrity.
The COS helps you see where each one is active, and what to do about it.
And then we take another step - revealing your key Activators (strengths) that illuminate your leadership.
WISDOM
Seeing deeply, clearly, and objectively leads to fewer blind spots, smarter choices, and teams that think for themselves.
LOVE
Leading with genuine care creates more trust, stronger relationships, and people who show up fully.
POWER
Directing with calm purpose brings less chaos, sharper focus, and progress without burnout.

Awareness Changes Everything
When you start seeing the patterns beneath your leadership, everything shifts. What once felt like effort becomes flow — and that clarity ripples through your team and organization.
YOU
When your presence deepens, you stop second-guessing yourself and decisions feel clearer.
TEAM
The conversations open up and your directs bring you problems earlier. Meetings get shorter.
ORGANIZATION
Execution accelerates and alignment improves. The gap between decision and action shrinks.
“Every leader has patterns.
The difference is whether you can see them —
and choose differently.”

A Note from Eric Kaufmann
“I’ve coached CEOs and executive teams for 25 years. The pattern is consistent: the leaders who see themselves clearly outpace the ones who don’t.
The COS Assessment is the fastest way to see what’s steering your leadership when you’re not looking.
It won’t tell you you’re broken, because you’re not — it’ll show you where you’re spending energy you don’t need to spend.
If what you discover stirs something, let’s talk. That’s when awareness becomes transformation.”
- Eric Kaufmann, Founder, Sagatica
