Good leadership helps organizations to succeed

Good leadership is probably the biggest factor in business success. Unfortunately, good leaders are hard to find - they are becoming a scarce commodity and a source of much competition.

The question for many companies is how to identify and nurture the talents of future and existing leaders within their company.

Business Sculptors has a track record of helping companies to identify and assess leaders. This information can help companies to develop the leadership teams they need to take advantage of future opportunities.

How do we assess leadership?

We use a number of proprietary tools to assess the talent of current and emerging leaders. These tools are amongst the best assessment tools on the market. They are easy-to-use and provide us with scientific and practical information on how leaders use their intelligence and experience to perform tasks and achieve results. They also tell us how to help these leaders develop their talents.

We focus on assessing leadership styles, effectiveness, work-behaviour styles, leadership levels and value drivers.

Since each person is unique, it is impossible to assess categorically whether a leader would be able to perform in a particular context. Much of a leader's success will also depend on factors such as his/her intelligence, aptitude, cultural scripting, external environment, motivation, belief system, business paradigm and religious - factors one can't always explicitly measure.

These tools allow us to assess leaders either in-person or remotely using the internet, telephone or email.

We use different combinations of these tools to suit our clients' needs and budgets.

Leadership assessments help us to find, understand and grow leaders

Our leadership assessments will tell us about the current and future ability of leaders.

• Their ability to think strategically and manage complexity, and the level in the organization where they could make their best contribution.
  
• Their style of working, the jobs that would most suit them, and the match between their current work-style and job.
  
• Their strongest leadership style, the situations where they would be effective leaders, and the match between their current style and job.
• The type of culture that they promote in their organizations and teams, and how suitable it is to their current organization.
  
• How much of their talent they are not using (talent gap) and how to develop these talents.
  

Leadership assessments tell a story. They tell us why companies are succeeding or failing. They also tell us what companies can do to start getting it right. They help us to identify leadership potential in unexpected places and to create good leaders.

Leadership assessments form the foundation of much of our consulting work.
