Are you confident your leadership team is operating at peak effectiveness, or are undetected skill gaps undermining performance, decision quality, and organisational resilience? Without a structured, evidence-based assessment framework, leadership development becomes guesswork, exposing your organisation to poor succession planning, misaligned strategy execution, and avoidable talent attrition. The Leadership Skills Third Edition Self-Assessment is the definitive professional development resource for diagnosing, benchmarking, and advancing leadership capability across your organisation. Built on globally recognised leadership competencies and validated assessment methodologies, this toolkit ensures you can systematically identify weaknesses, target growth areas, and verify improvement with precision.

How This Helps You
With the Leadership Skills Third Edition, you transform subjective leadership evaluations into objective, data-driven development programmes. Each of the 676 questions maps directly to established leadership frameworks, including Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence model, Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, and the CCL Leadership Development Matrix, ensuring alignment with global best practices. You’ll pinpoint exactly where leaders fall short: Is it delegation? Crisis communication? Vision articulation? The answer determines where you invest. Left unassessed, these gaps erode trust, delay transformation initiatives, and increase turnover risk among high-potential talent. By contrast, organisations using structured leadership assessments report 3.2x higher leadership bench strength and 47% faster strategy execution. This resource eliminates ambiguity, giving you the diagnostic power to act decisively, and prove ROI on every development dollar spent.
