Leadership & Manager Assessments

Leaders rarely lack effort. What they lack is an accurate picture of the effect they’re having. These are validated instruments that supply it — paired with the coaching that turns feedback into a different way of working.

How to choose

Different instruments for different altitudes

The right one depends on where the person sits and what you need to change. If you’re not sure, that’s the first thing we’ll work out on the call.

Leadership Impact Assessment

Comprehensive, targeted feedback on a leader’s strategies, their impact on the people around them, and — consequently — the culture they create.

Ideal for executives, key-level managers, and others in strategic leadership positions.

Manager Impact Assessment

Insight into how managers carry out their roles and responsibilities, and the impact they have on the people around them.

Designed for managers, project managers, supervisors, and others with management responsibility.

Management Effectiveness Profile System (MEPS)

Confidential, in-depth feedback that promotes self-awareness and facilitates the development of key management skills.

Appropriate for lower-middle through upper-level managers.

ACUMEN Leadership WorkStyles: Individuals

Helps self-motivated leaders strengthen the thinking and behavioural styles that promote their effectiveness.

Ideal for executives, managers, and leaders who want to develop and grow into their full potential.

Comprehensive HR Audit

Whether your HR practice areas, policies, and processes are adequate, legal, and effective. HR audits are a vital means of avoiding the legal and regulatory liability that can arise from an organization’s HR policies and practices.

Beyond identifying areas of legal risk, the audit benchmarks the competitiveness of your HR strategy against the best practices of other employers in your industry. In a heavily regulated employment environment, the scope of the HR function involves a host of policies with compliance implications.

For organizations whose HR function has grown faster than its documentation.

The part that matters

The instrument is the easy half

Anyone can administer an assessment. What changes behaviour is the debrief, the coaching, and the check-ins afterwards — which is why we don’t sell these as standalone reports.

Our leadership programme is built for long-term strategy: coaching and development of strategic skills in understanding and shaping culture, measuring strategic roadmaps, and rediscovering your purpose in steering the ship and its crew for long voyages.
