Leadership Assessment – Strategy & Risk
Comprehensive diagnostics for critical leadership challenges: team dysfunction, executive selection, cultural fit, maturity gaps, and succession transitions
C1. Leadership Assessments – Strategy & Risk
Strategic leadership challenges rarely come alone. This compact guide covers 5 interconnected cases with 44 assessment tools—helping you navigate the complete landscape of executive-level diagnostics.
Why Bundle These 5 Cases?
Leadership challenges cascade and overlap. A dysfunctional executive team often stems from poor selection processes. Cultural misfit issues emerge during succession transitions. Leaders who resist feedback create team conflicts.
This compact guide shows you:
- How these 5 challenges interconnect in real organizations
- Which tools work across multiple scenarios vs. single-purpose specialists
- Where to start when you're facing several issues simultaneously
This Guide Is For:
Enterprise HR Leaders managing complex leadership portfolios across multiple business units
HR Professionals who need vendor-neutral comparisons before committing to assessment partnerships
Talent Leaders building systematic leadership diagnostic capabilities rather than one-off solutions

L1. Dysfunctional Leadership Teams – Executive silos, power games, strategic misalignment Tools: 9 assessments for team dynamics, values conflicts, climate diagnosis

The guide shows which tools are versatile multi-case solutions vs. specialized single-purpose instruments.
