Am I the Problem  or Is It the Place?

A self-assessment for high performers in low-performing environments  |  Dr. Pam Jackson, PhD

You are good at what you do. You have always been good at what you do. But something has shifted — and you are not sure whether the problem is you or the place you're in.

That question is not a small one. In dysfunctional workplaces, high performers often absorb the environment's dysfunction so gradually that they can no longer tell where the organization ends and their self-doubt begins.

“The most dangerous thing a toxic workplace can do is make you believe its story about you.”
— Dr. Pam Jackson

This assessment is designed to help you see clearly. Not to tell you what to do — but to give you an honest picture of what is actually happening, so you can decide from a place of clarity rather than confusion.
