Redefining Leadership Excellence
Being a leader is a privilege—but with it comes the responsibility to deliver results, drive impact, and inspire performance at every level.
However, traditional leadership assessment frameworks often rely on a top-down, biased approach, where a select few leaders evaluate or advocate for their peers. This narrow perspective fails to capture the true essence of leadership: how leaders are experienced by those they lead. Success isn’t dictated by peer reviews or executive endorsements; it’s measured by the engagement, motivation, and commercial outcomes of the teams they lead.
True leadership is not about intelligence or power—it’s about impact. Those who both embrace and master this mindset (or KINDset) drive transformation, foster innovation, and create cultures of trust, accountability, and sustained success.
As a leadership profiling and development tool, KINDset (KQ)® integrates the seven essential traits that define leadership excellence, enabling organisations to cultivate and shape the leaders of both today and tomorrow.
KINDset (KQ)®
KINDset (KQ)® is our globally researched Leadership Profile & Development framework. This comprehensive 360-degree tool provides actionable insights and feedback on a leader's proficiency in seven vital traits: Trust, Credibility, and Purpose. Trust flourishes when leaders exhibit Dignity and Gratitude, while Credibility is strengthened through Adaptability and Stewardship.
KINDset (KQ)® offers versatile applications, supporting managers, leaders, teams, and boards alike. We can include longitudinal assessments that help you track progress because they repetitively measure the same traits, characteristics, or success factors to clearly show changes, progress, or trends in a leader, team, or organisation. We also have the capability so that you can ask a key Net Promoter type question which then provides a clear ranking of leadership performance as rated by their peers.
KINDset (KQ)® integrates effortlessly with existing psychometric and development tools, enriching leadership development strategies and driving impactful results.
