When Leaders Lead
at the Wrong Level,
Everyone Feels It.
Are Your Leaders Thinking and Acting at the Right Leader Level?
Managers of leaders don’t always know what to do or what to say to pull people through to the next level of leadership. Feedback is often related to an operational or financial metric vs. specific behaviors or actions or shifts in perspective. That is where The Leadership Nexus can help.
This 15-minute self-guided assessment pinpoints where a leader’s mindset and behaviors are out of sync with their current or target leadership level. It delivers a personalized, easy-to-understand report with specific development steps—no psychology degree required. Whether you’re supporting leaders in-role or preparing them for what’s next, The Leadership Nexus provides a practical, level-aligned roadmap for growth.
