LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT 

Make the Final Appointment with Greater Confidence

A strong CV and a good interview do not necessarily predict success in the role.

Leadership Assessment provides a structured and independent view of whether a candidate has the experience, capability, motivation and leadership behaviour required for the position.

WHEN ASSESSMENT IS RELEVANT

  • Two or more final candidates appear equally strong
  • An internal successor is being considered
  • The company wants an independent second opinion
  • The role involves substantial leadership or transformation responsibility
  • There are concerns about the candidate's fit with the organisation
  • The hiring team wants to reduce the risk of a wrong appointment
  • A board, investor or owner needs additional decision support 

ASSESSMENT ELEMENTS

  • Structured career interview
  • Functional experience assessment
  • Leadership interview
  • Hogan personality assessment
  • Business case or presentation
  • Motivation and risk analysis
  • Organisational and cultural fit assessment
  • Structured reference checking 

WHAT WE ASSESS

  • What the candidate has actually been responsible for
  • Which results the candidate has delivered
  • The scale and complexity of previous roles
  • Leadership behaviour and decision-making
  • Ability to lead change
  • Stakeholder management
  • Functional depth
  • Motivation for the role
  • Potential risks and development needs
  • Fit with the company's present situation

THE OUTPUT

The company receives a clear assessment covering:

  • Overall suitability
  • Relevant strengths
  • Areas of concern
  • Leadership profile
  • Fit with the role and situation
  • Questions requiring further validation
  • Recommended onboarding priorities

The objective is not to produce a generic personality report but to improve the quality of the appointment decision.
