Executive Assistant Leadership Assessment
A soul-level assessment rooted in Timothy Keller's teaching on the four idols of the heart – applied to the unique world of executive support.
Beneath every pattern of struggle, fear, or dysfunction is an idol – something we look to for our worth. These are not obviously bad things. They are good things turned into ultimate things: significance, acceptance, ease, and order.
As executive assistants, we are uniquely positioned to be powerful forces for good — or to quietly serve these idols without ever recognizing them. Our role gives cover to all four. Access looks like Power. Service looks like Approval. Efficiency looks like Control. Stability looks like Comfort.
This assessment will help you identify which idol has the most grip on your heart — and give you a clear, compassionate path forward.
