Leadership Profile Measures
Character Matters:
Character forms the foundation of effective leadership and reflects an individual's core principles. Strong character breeds trust and influences decision-making and behavior.
People and Interpersonal Skills:
The ability to foster positive relationships with team members and skill in managing conflicts are crucial for leaders, whose job is essentially dealing with people internally and externally. The capacity to motivate and inspire others is key in true, exemplary leadership.
Adaptability, Proactivity and Learning Agility:
A willingness and ability to embrace change, new ideas and continuously pursue new knowledge and skills matters for all leaders. Research shows that openness to feedback and self-improvement are crucial in the best leaders - this is how they improve and excel, by gathering feedback (incl. critical feedback of themselves). A flexibile approach to problem-solving to flesh out the best ideas is absolutely key as well.
Integrity and Ownership
Consistency in actions, transparency in communications, and accountability for mistakes and decisions builds trustworthiness. Leaders don't exist without teams, and teams don't perform unless their leaders take extreme ownership.
Cognitive Ability:
Analytical and critical thinking skills, strategic thinking and problem-solving capabilities are obviously a must to be able to perform when dealing with complexity.

What is the best way to grow as a leader? How do we assess leadership potential?
One of the most effective ways to grow as a leader is to actively seek and receive feedback through a 360 degree evaluation. Research indicates that leaders who frequently ask for feedback tend to be more effective overall. This openness to input allows leaders to gain valuable insights into their performance, identify areas for improvement, and continuously develop their leadership skills. Utilizing 360 assessments, self-assessments and behavioral interviews can provide valuable insights into an individual's ability to lead effectively.
360 feedback gathers perspectives from peers, subordinates, and supervisors, providing a well-rounded view of a candidate’s interpersonal skills and leadership style. 360 degree leadership assessments are really valuable for gathering insights in a structured way from people who know and work with the 'leader' being analyzed. Self-assessments further strengthen introspection and character analysis. Behavioral interviews complement self-assessments by exploring past experiences and actions, offering concrete examples of how candidates have demonstrated leadership qualities in real-world scenarios. For a holistic evaluation, situational judgment tests and 360-degree feedback assessments can help. Situational judgment tests present people with hypothetical challenges and gauge their problem-solving approaches and ethical considerations.
