Diagnostic Tools

We are licensed to use a range of leadership psychometric tools including:

The ILM 72 Leadership Styles Questionnaire

The ILM72 is a reliable psychometric measure which assesses two important elements:

  • Leadership Style

  • Leadership Effectiveness in terms of Leadership behaviour

This is the result of a major study carried out by AQR in association with the ILM. It looked at over 50 leadership models and found that all had their origins in the same components. All leaders adopt a preferred way of working. There is no right or wrong style. We know that style is situational. Usefully ILM72 profiles can be aggregated to form a picture of the leadership style of a group.

Mental Toughness Questionnaire


We are licensed to use AQR’s Mental Toughness questionnaire. Published research and case studies form around the world show that Mental Toughness is a major factor in:

  • Performance – explaining up to 25% of the variation in performance in individuals

  • Positive Behaviour – more engaged, more positive, more “can do”

  • Wellbeing – more contentment, better stress management , less prone to bullying

  • Aspirations - more ambitious, prepared to manage more risk

It is important in almost all work applications. For instance studies show a close link between mental toughness and managerial level. This questionnaire provides a reliable assessment of mental toughness from which a development programme can be delivered.

MBTI


The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is an effective tool for leadership development. It helps individuals to develop their self-awareness and so develop effective leadership approaches. This can add value at all levels of leadership in an organisation. The MBTI can also be used for team building and in change situations

360 Degree Feedback


We are licensed to use an on-line 360 questionnaire that can be populated with tailor made measures to suit your organisation (can be linked to your competency or behavioural framework) or we can use standard 360 measures based on management competencies.  We gather feedback from peers, team members and senior managers and compile a report. This is a very useful way to gain a rounded view of how one is perceived by others and can indicate areas that need developing.
