Executive Leadership Assessment
Every bespoke coaching engagement at Inspirit Institute begins the same way: with honest insight. Before we develop anything, we help you discover exactly where you stand as a leader.
Why Assessment Comes First
Executives rarely lack ambition; they lack an accurate mirror. Titles, success, and seniority make candid feedback harder to come by precisely when it matters most. A structured assessment restores that mirror. It shows you the difference between the leader you intend to be and the leader others experience, and it turns vague goals like “communicate better” into specific, coachable priorities.
This is the Discover stage of our Discover, Develop, Display™ framework — the foundation on which your Super Purpose Power is identified and put to work.
The Actionable Insights (AI) Dashboard
Assessment at Inspirit Institute runs through our Actionable Insights (AI) dashboard, which brings five instruments together in one place:
- DISC Behavioral Assessment — Understand your communication and behavioral style, how you make decisions under pressure, and how to adapt your approach to the people you lead.
- Leadership Styles Assessment — Identify your dominant leadership approach, where it serves you, and where a wider repertoire would multiply your impact.
- Professional 360° Feedback — Colleagues, direct reports, and stakeholders you nominate assess you confidentially while you assess yourself; your coach debriefs the gaps.
- Personal 360° Feedback — The same self-vs-others comparison from family and friends, because whole-life leadership shows up at home as much as at work.
- Johari Window — A structured exercise mapping how you see yourself against how others see you, revealing blind spots and hidden strengths.
AI-Powered Insights Across Every Assessment
Individual assessments are useful; the synthesis is where growth starts. The dashboard generates an AI-powered analysis across everything you and your raters have completed: an executive summary of your leadership profile, key strengths and growth opportunities with the evidence behind each, cross-assessment patterns no single instrument would reveal, and prioritized recommended actions. Your coach turns that analysis into your development plan.
From Insight to a Bespoke Plan
Assessment results feed directly into your personalized coaching plan. Because Inspirit Institute coaches the whole leader, that plan spans six life segments — field, faith, family, fitness, finance, and fun — so growth in the boardroom is matched by growth everywhere your leadership shows up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What assessments does Inspirit Institute use in executive coaching?
The Actionable Insights (AI) dashboard brings together five instruments: a DISC behavioral assessment, a leadership-styles assessment, a professional 360-degree feedback survey, a personal 360-degree feedback survey, and the Johari Window exercise. Together they form the Discover phase of the Discover, Develop, Display framework.
How does the 360-degree feedback process work?
You complete a self-assessment while a circle of raters you nominate completes the same survey about you, confidentially. The professional 360 gathers workplace feedback from colleagues, direct reports, and stakeholders; the personal 360 gathers feedback from family and friends on the personal side of your leadership. Your coach then walks you through the self-versus-others comparison to surface blind spots, hidden strengths, and the gaps that matter most.
What are the AI-powered insights?
Once assessments are complete, the Actionable Insights dashboard generates an AI-powered analysis across all of them: an executive summary, key strengths and growth opportunities backed by evidence from your results, cross-assessment patterns a single instrument would miss, and prioritized recommended actions your coach turns into a development plan.
How do assessment results shape the coaching engagement?
Results are not a report that sits in a drawer. Your coach uses them to build a bespoke development plan across six life segments — field, faith, family, fitness, finance, and fun — so the coaching targets the whole leader, not just the job title.
