LPE (Leadership Potential Evaluation)

Diagnosis and development
The web-based potential analysis LPE (Leadership Potential Evaluation) was developed specifically for use in management and provides a valid and reliable assessment of your managers’ leadership potential. The test was originally developed 20 years ago and has since been continuously improved upon. The test, which covers the most important factors of leadership potential using 10 main factors, 34 detailed factors and 5 indices, has been completed by over 10,000 managers and executives. For each main factor, each detailed factor and each index, we put together a description of the respective results and a concrete recommendation for further development. The individual report, put together by a certified consultant, includes a detailed interpretation of particularly notable results, correlations of specific factors beyond the information contained in the test profile as well as detailed recommendations on further personal development.

Application and issues addressed

The LPE helps you find answers to your questions on the topic of leadership:

• How good are our managers?
• How capable are our managers of successfully tackling future issues?
• How can we develop our managers? What methods can we use?

  leadership competence?

Using the LPE to choose managers and identify talent
The LPE is an essential component of every selection process and is an ideal complement for situational methods (interviews, cognitive performance tests, assessment centers). By including the potential analysis in the selection process, we can significantly increase the quality of the selection process and its accuracy. In addition to improving the quality of the prognosis, the results also provide you with a sound development plan that draws on information at the potential level.

Leadership audit and management dialog
Together with corporate leadership and HR, we develop a concrete development plan for select members of upper management, which focuses on the concrete business and learning requirements. A dialog based on strategic questions, an approximation of the business strategy, feedback on competencies and potential are used to gather the necessary information. Summarizing the individual test results allows us to assess the company as a whole and put together a risk analysis for the company.

Business Leadership Coaching (BLC)
Our executive coaching explicitly focusses on the correlation between potential factors and the demands of the business. Using a number of leadership tools, we help managers improve their abilities in all the roles they take on: motivator, agents of change, strategists and opinion leaders.
