Free Leadership Style AssessmentDiscover which of Goleman's 6 Leadership Styles you lead with - and what that means.
Based on Daniel Goleman's research-backed framework, this leadership style quiz identifies which of six leadership styles you use most naturally - Visionary, Coaching, Affiliative, Democratic, Pacesetting or Commanding -and which you underuse. If you've ever wondered "what is my leadership style?" this is a practical, scenario-based way to find out. Unlike a competency assessment, this one isn't about how good you are.

Most managers have one or two dominant styles and a couple they barely touch. Knowing which is which is the first step to leading with more intention. What you'll get:

Free Emotional Intelligence (EQ) AssessmentDiscover the values that drive how you lead - and whether you're living them
Most leaders have a rough sense of what they value. Fewer have actually sat down and worked out what their top values really are - in order, with clarity, and with honesty.

You work through 15 key leadership values - things like Accountability, Courage, Empathy, Integrity and Adaptability - choosing which matters most in each pairing. The result is a clear, personalised ranking of your top and bottom values, with reflective prompts to help you turn the insight into something actionable. It's a deceptively simple exercise with a significant impact - and it's used by Jo Richings in her coaching and leadership development programmes as a starting point for some of the most useful conversations managers and leaders have about how they lead. What you'll get:
