LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENTS & DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENTS & DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
Evidence that enables clarity and growth.
Self-Awareness, Critical to a leader. Evidence-based insight for stronger leadership decisions
Leadership development works best when it starts with a clear understanding of how a leader is actually experienced by others. Our assessment tools give executives, senior leaders, and emerging leaders the insight they need to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.
Grounded in current evidence and best-practice frameworks, these assessments translate data into practical action. Used independently or as part of a broader development programme, they help leaders identify strengths, surface blind spots, and focus on the behaviours that matter most.
Why these assessments matter
Great leadership begins with self-awareness. When leaders understand how their style, decisions, and behaviours are experienced across the organisation, they are better equipped to improve performance, strengthen relationships, and build trust.
Our assessments are designed to:
-
Reveal leadership strengths and development priorities.
-
Provide an objective lens on impact, not just intent.
-
Support targeted coaching and meaningful behaviour change.
-
Strengthen individual, team, and organisational effectiveness.
Leadership assessment tools
Roud Leadership Assessment 360 (RLA360)
The RLA360 gives leaders a clear, multi-source view of their leadership effectiveness. By gathering confidential feedback from managers, peers, direct reports, and key stakeholders, it shows how leadership is experienced in practice not just how it is intended.
The real value of the RLA360 lies in what happens next. Results are used within a structured coaching process to create a bespoke Individual Leadership Development Plan, turning insight into focused action. Follow-up LeaderPulse check-ins then track progress over time and help leaders stay accountable to measurable growth.
Myers-Briggs Step II
MBTI Step II adds depth to personality insight by exploring the more nuanced facets of preference. This gives leaders a better understanding of why people with the same type can lead, communicate, and decide differently.
Used well, it can improve self-awareness, team communication, and leadership flexibility. When combined with the RLA360, it creates a richer picture of both behaviour and underlying preference.
California Psychological Inventory (CPI260)
The CPI260 offers a detailed profile of leadership style as experienced by others. It highlights work-related traits across areas such as self-management, team building, and vision, helping senior leaders understand both their assets and their constraints.
For executive development, it provides a strong evidence base for targeted coaching, succession planning, and leadership refinement.
Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP)
The ILDP turns assessment insight into a practical, high-value development roadmap. Built from assessment results and coaching conversations, it focuses on the behaviours, habits, and priorities that will create the greatest leadership impact.
It also connects leaders to a library of practical tools and strategies, so development is not left at the insight stage it becomes part of daily leadership practice.
LeaderPulse
LeaderPulse is designed to show whether development is translating into real-world change. By collecting focused feedback over time, it helps leaders see progress, adjust priorities, and maintain momentum.
It is especially valuable for executives who want clear evidence that coaching and development investment is delivering results.

Just like in medicine prescription before diagnosis is bad practice. We must avoid this in our leadership rooms!
ORGANISATION CULTURE
Culture shapes performance, decision-making, trust, and retention. Our culture assessment helps leaders understand where the organisation is strong, where it is under strain, and what is influencing performance beneath the surface.
The result is a clear, practical view of culture that supports better leadership alignment, stronger accountability, and more deliberate organisational action.
