Employees are demanding a new kind of leadership, and the challenges of our times require it. Leaders want to drive performance and deliver results without burying their desire to care for and support their teams.
 
There is a new kind of leader emerging, ready to create a more human world of work.  

Potential Project has crystallized the three fundamental qualities
and the fifteen core mindsets for leaders of the future. Research with academic partners and years of work with exceptional executives from global organizations have provided the validation.  

Leaders of the future must do hard things in human ways.
 
Come discover how.

The Human Leader Assessment

The Human Leader Assessment measures a leader’s human leadership mindsets and the changes in them over time.

Highlights:

  • The Assessment was built by Potential Project behavioral scientists in partnership with academic researchers. All questions are scientifically validated.
  • The Assessment is 360-based so leaders see the results of their self-ratings and the ratings of observers (colleagues, direct reports) chosen to participate in the assessment.
  • Leaders receive a personalized report with tips for enhancing one’s leadership and closing the gap between their self-rating and observer ratings.
  • Sponsors and administrators can access a dashboard to see aggregate patterns across leadership groups .
