Assessment Library

Five domains of leadership insight - each grounded in organizational design theory, validated through executive practice, and designed for immediate application in coaching engagements.

🎯

Leadership Style & Effectiveness

How leaders lead - and where they get in their own way.

This domain measures leadership approach across multiple contexts - team dynamics, stakeholder management, decision-making under uncertainty, and delegation patterns. Assessments surface blind spots that coaching conversations alone often miss, giving practitioners a structured baseline for development planning.

Assessments in This Domain 4

Leadership Adaptability Index

Measures how effectively a leader adjusts approach across different team contexts, stakeholder types, and pressure levels.

Delegation & Decision Authority Profile

Maps delegation patterns, identifies decision bottlenecks, and surfaces over-centralization risks.

Influence & Stakeholder Navigation Assessment

Evaluates how leaders build coalitions, manage lateral relationships, and navigate organizational politics.

Executive Presence Diagnostic

Assesses the alignment between a leader's intended impact and perceived presence across key audiences.

Who It's For

Executive coaches working with senior leaders navigating role transitions, expanded scope, or team performance challenges.

Use Cases

  • Leadership development programs
  • Executive onboarding
  • 360-degree feedback supplements
  • Succession planning readiness

Organizational Design

Structure follows strategy - but only when the design is intentional.

Evaluates the alignment between organizational structure, strategic intent, and operating culture. These assessments help practitioners identify where structural friction is eroding execution capacity - misaligned reporting lines, role ambiguity, decision rights gaps, and coordination failures that leaders often attribute to "culture" but are actually design problems.

Assessments in This Domain 3

Structure-Strategy Alignment Audit

Evaluates whether organizational structure supports or undermines strategic execution.

Role Clarity & Decision Rights Index

Identifies ambiguity in role boundaries, accountability gaps, and overlapping decision authority.

Coordination Effectiveness Assessment

Measures the efficiency of cross-functional collaboration and information flow.

Who It's For

OD consultants, HR advisory firms, and coaches supporting leaders through restructuring or scaling.

Use Cases

  • Post-merger integration diagnostics
  • Operating model assessments
  • Role clarity interventions
  • Spans-and-layers analysis

Change Readiness

Transformation fails at adoption, not design.

Assesses an organization's capacity to absorb, implement, and sustain change. Goes beyond surface-level "readiness surveys" to examine the structural, cultural, and leadership conditions that determine whether change initiatives gain traction or stall. Identifies resistance drivers, coalition gaps, and communication breakdowns before they become project killers.

Assessments in This Domain 4

Organizational Change Capacity Assessment

Measures an organization's structural, cultural, and leadership readiness to absorb transformation.

Resistance Driver Analysis

Identifies the root causes of change resistance - structural, political, and psychological.

Stakeholder Coalition Mapping

Evaluates the strength of change coalitions and identifies gaps in sponsorship and advocacy.

Change Sustainability Index

Assesses whether change gains are likely to hold after initial implementation momentum fades.

Who It's For

Change management consultants, transformation leads, and coaches supporting executives through major organizational shifts.

Use Cases

  • Pre-transformation diagnostics
  • Change impact assessments
  • Stakeholder readiness mapping
  • Mid-initiative course correction

Strategic Thinking

The gap between vision and execution is a thinking problem.

Maps how leaders process complexity, balance competing priorities, and translate long-term positioning into near-term action. These assessments evaluate cognitive patterns in strategic reasoning - how leaders frame problems, weigh tradeoffs, synthesize information across domains, and maintain strategic coherence under operational pressure.

Assessments in This Domain 3

Strategic Reasoning Profile

Maps how a leader processes complexity, weighs tradeoffs, and maintains coherence under ambiguity.

Vision-to-Execution Bridge Assessment

Evaluates the gap between strategic intent and operational follow-through.

Scenario Planning Readiness Index

Assesses a leader's capacity for anticipatory thinking and contingency reasoning.

Who It's For

Executive coaches working with high-potential leaders moving into enterprise-level strategy roles.

Use Cases

  • C-suite readiness assessments
  • Strategic leadership development
  • Board preparation programs
  • Scenario planning workshops

Coaching Diagnostic

Start every engagement with clarity, not assumptions.

A meta-assessment designed specifically for the coaching context. Rather than measuring a single competency, it identifies the client's development priorities, preferred learning modes, openness to feedback, and readiness for behavioral change. Gives the coach a structured foundation for engagement design - replacing intake guesswork with data.

Assessments in This Domain 3

Coaching Engagement Intake Assessment

A comprehensive starting-point assessment that identifies development priorities, preferred learning modes, and openness to behavioral change.

Development Readiness Profile

Measures a client's current readiness for focused development work - cognitive, emotional, and situational.

Coaching Progress Checkpoint

A mid-engagement assessment to track development trajectory and recalibrate coaching priorities.

Who It's For

Any professional coach who wants a rigorous, evidence-based starting point for new client engagements.

Use Cases

  • Coaching engagement intake
  • Development plan design
  • Mid-engagement progress check
  • Coaching ROI documentation
