The Leadership Assessment Suite

Four leadership assessments built on one architecture — SA-EPSA, Leadership 360, Team Effectiveness, and Organisational Maturity — measuring who a leader is, how they behave, how their team works, and what the organisation is.

The leadership assessment suite is four instruments built on a single model — the 5D Transcending Leadership Model — so insight compounds across altitudes instead of arriving as four disconnected reports.

Objective assessment delivers the strongest ROI of any leadership-development method: DDI's Global Leadership Forecast 2025 — 24 years of research across 10,796 leaders — finds 54% of companies report strong ROI from leadership assessments, and pairing assessment with coaching makes leaders 1.8× more likely to be top-10% financial performers. This suite is grounded in Stuart Andrews' 25 years of practice and his book The Leadership Shift, built on the 5D Transcending Leadership Model, and read against a benchmark base that grows with every completed assessment.

What is the leadership assessment suite? It is four assessments built on one architecture — the 5D Transcending Leadership Model. SA-EPSA measures who the leader is, Leadership 360 how they behave, Team Effectiveness how their team works, and Organisational Maturity what the organisation is. Because every instrument shares the same underlying model, the insight compounds across altitudes instead of arriving as four disconnected reports.

Do I have to complete all four assessments? No. Each assessment stands on its own and delivers a complete report. Most engagements start at a single altitude — often the 360 or Team Effectiveness — and add others over time. The advantage of the shared architecture is that when you do run more than one, they read as a single continuous picture rather than competing frameworks.

Where do the benchmarks come from, and is this grounded in real research? Every instrument is grounded in Stuart Andrews' 5D Transcending Leadership Model and 25 years of practice — distilled in his book The Leadership Shift — and scored against a benchmark base that grows with every completed assessment, so your results are read in context rather than in isolation. The category is backed by DDI's Global Leadership Forecast 2025, which finds objective assessment delivers the strongest ROI of any development method. The questions are original IP, informed by established multi-rater and team-diagnostic practice.

Are results confidential? Yes, in the way that matters: results are confidential to the engagement and owned by the person or team being assessed, kept separate from appraisal and pay. Multi-rater feedback is attributed — you see who said what — because it is built for a coached development conversation, not an anonymous survey.
