We don't guess how you lead. We measure it.
Say goodbye to the standard 100-question leadership assessment questionnaire. By mapping raw, high-pressure audio transcripts to established behavioral frameworks, we provide the most objective, actionable leadership data available.
The Experiential Data Advantage
When you ask a manager if they remain calm under pressure, they will say "yes." But when a virtual bomb is ticking down to zero, the truth comes out.
Our simulation-based approach acts as a communication laboratory. Instead of theoretical profiling, we capture raw audio and behavioral choices. We analyze utterance lengths, question-to-directive ratios, and decision latency to provide objective behavioral data.
This is experiential leadership training designed for the modern executive team. Traditional leadership assessment tools rely on biased self-reporting. We drop your team into a real challenge and measure what actually happens.
Traditional vs. Our Approach
Traditional Assessment
Self-reported questionnaires, subjective 360 reviews, classroom role-plays
Leadership Training Ground
Real-time behavioral capture, NLP audio analysis, objective metrics mapped to Korn Ferry, CCL & SYMLOG frameworks
The Six Core Dimensions of Communication
Our proprietary algorithm evaluates every split-second interaction against a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS), measuring your team across six critical communication competencies.
Clarity & Precision
The specificity, conciseness, and lack of ambiguity in high-stakes instructions. How clearly do your leaders convey critical information?
Inquiry & Listening
The ratio of questions asked versus directives given, and the speed of confirming information. Are your leaders truly listening?
Directive Leadership
Decisiveness, role assumption, and initiative-taking in the face of deep uncertainty. Who steps up when it counts?
Adaptive Communication
The ability to flex between collaborative problem-solving and strict, top-down direction based on the immediate context.
Pressure Resilience
Tracking communication coherence, emotional regulation, and error recovery speed after critical failures.
Team Enablement
Signals of psychological safety, information-sharing equity, and equitable turn-taking across team members.
Beyond the Questionnaire: Objective Behavioral Data
See exactly how your leaders communicate under pressure with an experiential leadership development assessment. Using advanced NLP audio-analysis and established L&D frameworks, we map actual communication into actionable, visual insights.
Individual Communication Profiles
Measure what matters. Our 6-dimension radar charts map participant performance across Clarity, Inquiry, Directive Leadership, Adaptability, Pressure Resilience, and Enablement. Pinpoint exact strengths and development areas without relying on a subjective leadership assessment questionnaire.
Team Dynamics Mapping
Visualize the invisible. Using SYMLOG-derived group dynamic models, we plot out emergent leadership roles, task-vs-relationship dominance, and hidden collaboration patterns that dictate whether your team sinks or swims.
Pressure Response Tracking
Track resilience in real-time. Our diagnostic dashboards map sentiment and cognitive coherence second-by-second. See exactly who steps up, who shuts down, and how fast your team recovers from critical failures when the clock is ticking.
Key Moments Analysis
Turn data into coaching. We capture verbatim, timestamped quotes directly from the simulation. Our expert breakdown provides actionable feedback on the exact phrases, questions, and directives your leaders used in the heat of the moment.
Rooted in Established L&D Frameworks
Our leadership assessment tools aren't just engaging; they are deeply grounded in industrial-organizational psychology.
