Where are you on the leadership development journey?
Most organisations are somewhere in the middle. Some pieces are working, others need attention. This assessment helps you see the full picture in about 5 minutes.
You're here because you care about developing your people. That already puts you ahead of most.
This free assessment looks at 17 areas of leadership development, from how you define what good leadership looks like to how you know if your investment is paying off. You'll get a clear view of what's working, what's emerging, and where to focus next.
Who should take this
This is for HR, L&D, and Talent leaders who want a clear picture of where their organisation stands.
You might be building a case for more investment. You might be reviewing what you already have. You might just have a feeling that something isn't clicking for your new managers.
Whatever brought you here, this will help you see what's really going on.
Best completed by someone who can see across training, talent, and leadership outcomes.

Understanding your results
We look at three areas:
Foundation
The basics. Do you have clear goals, defined expectations, senior support, budget, time, and space for people to learn and make mistakes? These need to be in place before anything else can stick.
Infrastructure
The systems that support your leaders day to day. Training, mentoring, feedback, career paths, and support in those first 90 days. This is where most organisations find the biggest opportunities.
Outcomes
How you know if it's working. Measurement, promotion success, retention, your reputation as a place that develops people, and whether you're building capability internally.
Your scores
Start with your lowest scores. One solid foundation is worth more than five half-built programs.
Where to go from here
Your results will highlight where to focus first.
For each area, we've linked to resources that can help, whether that's understanding the challenges new leaders face, creating space for people to learn safely, or thinking through how to structure a program.
If you're seeing opportunities across Foundation, Infrastructure, and Outcomes, a structured program will get you there faster than tackling one piece at a time.
That's what Leda's Emerging Leaders Program is built to do.
