Leadership Assessment

Individual Assessment

We provide evaluation of a person’s knowledge, skills, abilities and personal style to understand their characteristics and behaviour relevant to successful job performance.

We use a combination of leading psychometric tools and behavioural interviews to support clients across a range of situations, including external and internal selection, individual development, leadership succession and performance management. 

Benefits

Improved hiring decisions: Research confirms that by introducing science in the decision making process, the most accurate, holistic view of a participant is achieved when psychometric assessments are combined with other methodologies such as structured competency-based interviews 

Individual Assessments predict future performance of a participant and so better inform employee selection and development which can lead to better engagement and retention 

By aligning assessment (competency) frameworks to organisational strategy, direct links can be made between individual and organisational performance as well as ensure better cultural fit.

Our Approach

We conduct in-depth, structured, competency based interviews to assess participants’ level of capability in areas critical to success in their role and organisation today and into the future.

We assess verbal and non-verbal behaviour, the subsequent impact and any notable omissions, i.e. what the participant doesn’t say.

All leadership interviews are conducted by certified, experienced Leadership Consultants to ensure consistently high quality outcomes.

Assessments can be conducted against client leadership frameworks / criteria, a standard competency library, or we can create a bespoke competency framework. 

The benefits of our approach include:

Engagement and Involvement of all key stakeholders:  

• Facilitates transfer of capabilities to the workplace 
• Enhances awareness of leadership requirements 
• Ensures momentum of development & supports building of a development culture 

‘Whole-person’ assessment: 

• Benchmarks against global leaders in function / industry 
• Compares individuals against best-in-class leadership capabilities 
• Measures relevant technical skills and experience 

Unique combination of business psychology and business experience: 

• We blend pragmatic business leadership with deep experience in occupational psychology 
• Our Consultants are business owners and so understand ‘real-world’ challenges
