What you need to know.
Leadership reviews go deeper than standard performance reviews. We provide confidential, unbiased assessments that uncover issues internal reviews often miss—political dynamics, blind spots, and candid stakeholder feedback that helps leaders truly grow.
Yes. We conduct all stakeholder interviews with strict confidentiality. Specific comments are never attributed unless permission is given. This encourages honest feedback and creates psychological safety for meaningful insights.
You receive a comprehensive written report with findings, strengths, development areas, and recommendations. We present findings to both the leader and their manager (or board), then create a development plan with clear next steps.
Typically 2-3 weeks from kickoff to presentation. This includes stakeholder interviews (3-5 days), leader assessment (2-3 days), analysis and report writing (1 week), and presentation/planning session (1 day).
Absolutely. Many clients use leadership reviews to assess promotion readiness. The review identifies whether a leader has the capabilities for the next level and what development they need to succeed. This reduces promotion risk significantly.
