Stabilisation Check: a self-test for leaders under pressure

Typical signals are a calendar made up almost entirely of operational topics, decisions that keep getting postponed, shrinking patience and the feeling of being the last resort for every problem. The check shows which of these areas is under the most pressure right now.

First name the bottleneck instead of working on everything at once. If time is missing, relief helps; if clarity is missing, structure for decisions helps; if energy is missing, working on self-leadership helps. With persistent exhaustion, sleep problems or physical symptoms, please also talk to a doctor.

No. The check assesses your professional situation and does not replace a medical or psychological diagnosis.

About two minutes for five statements. The check is free and needs no account.

Each answer from 1 to 5 is converted to a scale of 0 to 100. An area at 40 or below counts as a bottleneck; if all areas are at 70 or above, you are currently well stabilised. The numbers are calculated by fixed rules; the AI only writes the accompanying text.

Your result is shown to you directly. If you request a conversation, Christian Rieger sees your analysis as a confidential basis for it.

For managing directors, owners and leaders in key positions who are currently under pressure — especially in technology and manufacturing companies, but not only there.

A turnaround works on figures, structures and processes. Stabilisation management works on the people in key positions: it creates space, clarity and the ability to act so they can decide and act on their own strength again — ideally before a turnaround becomes necessary.

When a key role is suddenly vacant or leadership is so tied up in operations that important decisions stall. Acute interim management is the highest level of relief: someone steps directly into day-to-day business until there is enough stability again.

The analysis names one concrete next step. If you want to talk it through, you can book a free, confidential 30-minute walk & talk at Hilmteich lake in Graz or an information call with Christian Rieger — explicitly not a sales conversation.
