Assessments & Tools

We offer tools and customised pulse, engagement, self, cultural assessments and surveys that benefit your organisation, leaders and teams.

These are incredibly effective for performance management and improvement by gaining a well-rounded view of your organisation’s attitudes, behaviour and performance.

  • PRISM

PRISM is a revolutionary way of identifying people’s behaviour preferences. It approaches human behaviour from the perspective of neuroscience rather than psychological theory. This exciting online tool takes advantage of some of the most up-to-date neuroscience discoveries to provide users with a series of ‘maps’ as representations of how they prefer to respond to the world around them.

Each PRISM ‘map’ is a picture of the user as a unique individual. PRISM’s reports show not only people’s natural or instinctive behaviour preference but also the extent and how they modify or adapt their preference on occasions to respond to what you see as the demands of specific situations, for example, their job.

  • DISC

The DiSC® model is a behavioral assessment that provides a common language people can use to understand and better themselves and those they interact with, determining employees and managers strengths and weaknesses—and then use this knowledge to reduce conflict and improve working relationships. It aims to provide more self-awareness and insight, potentially improving operations and teamwork. The assessment provides leaders:

  • Your employees’ scores in each dimension, revealing work- and nonwork-related personality strengths and weaknesses.
  • Personalized tactics and strategies for increased effectiveness with colleagues that have varying results.
  • A summary of your employees’ prime values to your organisation.
  • Details on how to approach different DISC types.

  • Courage Compass

The Courage Compass® assessments are self and organisational tools that identify strengths and areas of development in Courageous Leadership. Providing insights into strengths and areas for development empowers people to embark on their journeys to be better at and lead with kindness, purpose, resilience, impact and courage. Designed for managers, leaders, students and those in professional and technical roles, the Courage Compass® has helps individuals understand and change how they lead.

How it works

Self and 360 Assessments assess the individual’s courageous leadership styles, personal effectiveness and ability to lead with kindness, resilience, impact and purpose and feedback from others on their leadership style. The results and recommendations are presented to the individual in a comprehensive, confidential report. A LeadershipHQ consultant or accredited practitioner guides them through the findings and helps them develop a strategy to change how they lead, think and behave.

The Courage Compass® Assessments are available online and on most digital devices.

Complementary Programs

We recommend you apply Courage Compass® in tandem with one of our leadership and coaching programs. Together, they enable an integrated approach to developing individual, group and organisational-level leadership and behavioural styles.

The benefits for your organisation

The Courage Compass® will help your team lead and behave to their full potential and contribute to your success and courage as a business and an employer of choice.

It helps individuals:

  • Discover new ways of leading and behaving
  • Improve effectiveness in their role
  • Lead with kindness and courage
  • Focus on purpose and leadership impact
  • Cope better with stress, pressure and change
  • Achieve self-set goals

We can also customise these assessments around your company values, behaviours and capabilities.

  • LeadershipHQ 360 and Assessment
The team at LeadershipHQ has also created our own assessment tool based on discussions we have had over 15 years with thousands of leaders and teams. Our LeadershipHQ 360 and Leadership Assessment are a critical part of business and leadership success, and we can help you implement any findings and explain the metrics behind it. This tool can be customised at an extra cost.

.”

Jane Copperthwaite – Systems Assurance Manager Rail Systems Integration

For me the coaching made the program more than just a leadership course.  The power of the coaching is that having someone who gets to know you and your leadership style, your passion and your ability through sharing my self-reflection.  I was challenged to try things outside of my comfort zone that without the coach I would not have done and this has built my confidence.   I liken having a leadership coach  to having a personal trainer for fitness goals, stretching me beyond my assumed capability.  Having a coach helped me focus, gave me some perspective on what I have already achieved, what my strengths are and what  I want to do.    Knowing my goals I have been able to talk through with my coach strategies to achieve them, sometimes in ways I would never have explored if I was working this through on my own. The coaching has allowed me to gain real clarity on why I do what do, it has given me the key to my future as a leader.”

Virginia Bax – Director – Strategy and External Affairs Strategy, People and Planning

I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with LHQ during my organisation’s Women in Leadership program. My coach was a natural communicator, and balanced with high intellect and empathy – she was the perfect leader to provide advice and guidance. I have enjoyed every coaching session throughout our program – in fact my coach has been my rock every month, helping me to navigate personalities and relationships in a complex and high-pressured environment. I have learnt so much from her professional experience and how to be brave for those harder conversations in the workplace. I will be forever grateful for the last six months, thank you!
