Introduction 

Leadership assessment and profiling is a robust, fair and cost-effective solution that is used to help organisations identify, develop and retain the right talent.

Now more than ever, recruiting strong leaders who can stabilise, motivate and build teams, is critical.  Characteristics such as resilience, adaptability, judgement and decision making, emotional intelligence, are essential, as is overall ‘fit’ with an organisations people and culture.  Leadership profiling and assessment will identify leadership style, strengths, development gaps and future potential, and thus help inform hiring decisions, on boarding and ongoing talent development.

Why is leadership assessment important?

• Improves accuracy of recruitment & selection decisions
• Cost effective and significantly outweighs the cost and collateral damage caused by hiring the wrong person
• Helps new hires onboard quicker
• Increases employee engagement and retention of talent
• Boosts the employer brand
• Bolsters organisational leadership capability and confidence
