LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT

Thanks to new discoveries in quantum physics, biology and psychology, it becomes increasingly clearer that the strength of our convictions, specifically what we think, shapes who we are, the characteristics we possess and the way we behave. Research indicates that through our convictions, we influence not only ourselves, but also our surroundings, especially those who follow us. Our AWAP© leadership assessment method is the end result of over many years of intense study and analysis. We closely monitored over 800 of our managerial placements to assess their development and contributions to their respective organizations over a period of 12 to 36 months.

Using what we’d learned, we tested our findings on more than 3,000 managers, directors and board members. The final operating structure, diagnostic practices and statistical methods behind AWAP© were created in close collaboration with university experts.

Our complementary leadership assessment will provide a quick and comprehensive evaluation of your executive capabilities.

AWAP© uses big-data insights to perform a complete 360-degree leadership assessment:

  • Consider stepping into new market or industry to know who is who and what results have been achieved
  • Wish to know more about Your competition and people who drive the seats or drive it from behind
  • Want to make sure which particular results have been achieved by whom, how or why
  • Want to know who are the top people you should know about, to hire now or in the future and what motivates them to work for you and under which circumstances

C-SUITE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

In times when constant change is the only certainty, we work with clients to define new philosophies for hiring as well as developing leaders. Philosophies moved from being focused on experience and competence, to the development of mind-set and personality. This verifies whether the leader is capable of delivering results in times of uncertainty.

ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN

Organizations replace vertical hierarchies with horizontal networks to become more flexible, attractive and authentic.

Breaking down the boundaries of hierarchy, functions, power, and cooperation will bring awareness to psychological boundaries, which are less visible, but even more crucial.

In a short, a real organization transformation raises from deep observation and constant and gradual change of people habits, assumptions and believes.

Our aim is to reflect, explore and distill the most important global trends and topics for the Board of Directors and Leaders.
