Purposeful Leadership Assessment
The Purposeful Leadership Assessment is based on Linkage’s Purposeful Leadership™ Model, which is designed around the five core commitments purposeful leaders make to their stakeholders: Inspire, Engage, Innovate, Achieve and Become. These commitments represent why we have leaders, the promise of what leaders deliver, and a framework for where to direct our attention as leaders. The assessment provides insight into a leader’s overall and relative performance on each commitment, the practices that make up each commitment, and the related leadership skills.
