We're selective about when and how assessments are utilized in leadership development. Not because we don’t believe in them — but because we’ve seen what happens when they’re used out of habit, not intention.

The right assessment, at the right time, with the right support? It can be a game-changer. It can give a leader or team language for something they’ve felt but couldn’t articulate. It can surface dynamics that have gone unspoken in a team for years. It can offer just enough perspective to shift a long-standing pattern.

That’s why we’ve curated a short list of tools we trust are useful in that context. Ones that are research-backed, practical, and — most importantly — resonate with the clients we work with.
