A structured read on your HR leadership.
This is a structured read on three shifts that distinguish senior HR leadership from functional HR expertise (comp, talent, HRBP, L&D, culture, ER). It also measures the portable leadership capabilities that carry into any senior seat: decision quality, communication under pressure, accountability, development of others, and receptiveness.
The goal is to give you a clear read on your HR leadership arc: how your portable leadership capabilities stand, whether your identity has broadened from functional expert to generalist, how fluently you speak the business, and how you show up in the room where strategy is set. A clear view is what you need to shape what comes next. Your responses are yours. We store them to generate your report and improve aggregate benchmarks for senior HR leaders. We do not sell your data and we do not share individual responses.
A scored report across eight dimensions (five core leadership, three senior-HR-specific), with a written interpretation of where you stand, what translates directly at senior HR altitude, what would need to show up differently, and the one question a senior advisor would ask to open a development conversation.
Grounded in published research. Calibrated by context.
- A few details about you: name, current role, the HR track you came up in, industry, tenure.
- The assessment itself: 25 short statements about how you operate, answered on a five-point scale.
- Three short written reflections. The part of the read that cannot be scored.
