Measuring Real Leadership Impact
We’ve developed this assessment after seeing too many organizations struggle with leadership evaluations that miss the mark. Many companies use tools that focus on abstract qualities rather than actual behaviors that drive team performance.
Our Leader Assessment Tool is different. We’ve designed it to evaluate the specific behaviors and competencies that determine whether your leaders are truly effective. This comprehensive assessment covers over 80 concrete leadership behaviors across four key areas: People Skills, Planning and Direction, Management Skills, and Personal Attributes.
What Makes Our Assessment Different
I’ve found that traditional leadership evaluations often miss the mark because they:
- Look at personality traits instead of actual behaviors
- Don’t consider what’s specifically important in your organization
- Gather data, but don’t show you what to do with it
- Focus on what’s easy to measure rather than what really matters
Our tool solves these problems by:
- Measuring both importance and performance – You’ll see not just where leaders need improvement, but where those improvements will make the biggest difference
- Focusing on specific behaviors – Instead of vague qualities like “good communicator,” we evaluate concrete actions like “provides constructive feedback”
- Covering all leadership aspects – From strategic planning to day-to-day management, from team building to personal integrity
- Including open-ended questions – These reveal insights that numbers alone can’t show you
How to Get the Most from This Tool
Here’s how I recommend using this assessment:
- Have the leader evaluated by direct reports, peers, and their own supervisor
- Keep individual responses confidential to ensure honest feedback
- Share the combined results with the leader
- Focus development on high-importance areas with performance gaps
- Check progress with another assessment in 6-12 months
