LEADERS OF THE FUTURE ASSESSMENTS

Unearthing Leader's Psychological DNA to Unleash Potential and Drive Performance

Hiring high-potential leaders is business-critical yet notoriously difficult. Leaders impact the people, systems, and culture in every organisation, and the ever-changing business landscape demands those who are adaptable and able to perform in increasingly complex, uncertain, volatile, and ambiguous conditions.

The problem? Many people don't understand the scientific evidence behind high-potential leadership, or how to translate psychological concepts into practice. Too often, hiring decisions are based on gut instinct, likability, or past performance alone - approaches that are actually incongruent with the scientific evidence for identifying genuine high-potential, future-fit leaders.

“The assessment process the Work Psychologists run is rigorous, insightful and useful. Their Leaders of The Future assessment allowed us to make informed decisions which would otherwise would have been based on his current performance and our ‘gut instinct’. We have been able to unearth hidden talent with real potential for innovation and creativity. I would recommend this process to anyone trying to establish if a potential employee has the right psychological profile to meet the organisations needs.”
