Take Test
Understanding your leadership identity begins with a thoughtful exploration of both your strengths and areas for growth, and our platform sets the stage for that journey. Instead of generic quizzes, the innovative approach of our program integrates the leadership circle test into a holistic framework that examines how you lead when things are easy and when they are hard. This combination of reflection and feedback invites you to consider whether you tend to operate reactively or creatively as you guide your teams. By blending research in psychology, organizational behavior and systems thinking, we help you see where you sit along the developmental spectrum of leadership.
One of the most transformative tools you will encounter is the leadership circle assessment, which draws on decades of research to map competencies and beliefs in a coherent visual profile. Unlike a simple self‑report, this process also incorporates feedback from colleagues through a 360 leadership survey so you can compare your self‑perception with how others experience your leadership. Complementing these insights is a leadership wheel assessment that organizes your strengths around the four quadrants of connection, courage, vision and execution. Together, these diagnostic perspectives reveal where you are thriving and where you might be holding back based on unconscious patterns.
Another framework you will encounter explores compass leadership styles, encouraging you to notice whether you naturally orient toward action, relationships, ideas or structure. This model is supported by the leadership compass assessment, which helps you understand how your preferred direction interacts with the strengths of others on your team. Recognizing these orientations can improve communication, reduce conflict and create space for complementary talents. When you bring awareness to your default style, you open the door to greater flexibility and more intentional choice in how you respond under pressure.
If you are concerned about cost, you'll be glad to know there is a 360 leadership assessment free of charge through our introductory offer, making this work accessible to everyone. For those who prefer to start alone, our leadership circle free self assessment lets you begin the journey privately before inviting feedback from your peers. You will receive a report with insights and suggestions after you complete the leadership circle free assessment and can immediately start trying experiments. Our goal is to remove barriers to entry so that more people can experience the shift from reactive to creative leadership described by Anderson and Adams. Even a small step toward self‑awareness can ripple through your relationships, your team and your organization.
You may be familiar with other tools like the leadership style disc, and we believe that each instrument offers a different window into how you show up. Our program includes a leadership compass quiz to complement these approaches and round out your understanding of the many facets of leadership. By integrating multiple perspectives, you are better equipped to craft a development plan that resonates with your aspirations. We invite you to approach this exploration with curiosity and compassion, knowing that growth is a lifelong process. By staying curious about the full leadership circle, you will continue to expand your capacity and serve your team at a higher level.
| Level | Description |

Shifting to a Creative State of Mind allows us to lead with mission, purpose and vision. Our mindset shifts from an outside‑in framing to an inside‑out point of view. Creative leaders respond from a place of openness, possibility and passion, and their actions are intentional; they unleash the potential in themselves and others.
Seeing your progress makes development tangible. The circular model of leadership helps you identify how creative competencies and reactive tendencies interplay. Use this visualization to reflect on your current state and set intentions for the future.
It is a comprehensive assessment that integrates multiple frameworks—including 360 feedback, competency mapping and compass orientations—to provide a holistic view of your leadership behaviors and underlying beliefs.
In addition to self‑reflection, colleagues who know your work are invited to provide confidential feedback. Their responses are aggregated into themes so you can compare your self‑perception with how others experience your leadership.
