What kinds of
assessments do you
use?
There are hundreds of
assessment tools
available to coaches.
While I am certified to
use a variety of them,
and experienced with
many others, I most
frequently use the
following three
assessments in my work
with leaders.
Maturity
Assessment Profile
(MAP).
Also known as the
Leadership Development
Profile (LDP). There is
increasing evidence that
leaders are being asked
to take on
responsibilities and
tasks that are beyond
their current
developmental level.
This tool, based on
decades of research by
Cook-Greuter and others,
assesses the leader’s
current stage of adult
development. The results
are used to create an
individual development
plan and design
developmental practices.
I am certified to
administer, score and
debrief this assessment.

The
Leadership Circle
Profile (TLCP).
This is a 360°
assessment that measures
not only leadership
competencies, but also
the belief systems that
can impede the full
utilization of those
competencies. Leaders
complete an online
self-assessment and are
able to gather data from
up to 40 others. TLCP
aligns with Senge’s
model of the orientation
of the creative, and
comes with a
comprehensive manual to
support development
planning. It is also
correlated with stages
of adult development and
supports my
developmental approach
to coaching. (To learn
more about this tool,
please visit leadershipcircle.com).
Myers-Briggs
Type Inventory
(MBTI).
This is probably the
most widely-used and
well-researched
personality tool in the
business world. It
assesses an individual’s
type and is particularly
useful in expanding a
leader’s self-awareness,
improving interpersonal
communication, managing
conflict, developing
teams and coaching
others. It also has a
developmental component
which can be used alone
or in tandem with the
MAP.
