The Individual Advisory Track
Leadership Intelligence™
Nobody wakes up and says “I need Leadership Intelligence™.” They say: “I keep getting passed over.” “I need to be ready for VP.” “I don’t know what comes next.” Leadership Intelligence™ is how ISA™ answers those questions.
Why Leadership Intelligence™
Nobody wakes up and says “I need Leadership Intelligence™.” They wake up and say:
Executive
“I keep getting passed over.”
Signal
Influence Drift™
Director
“I need to be ready for VP.”
Signal
Influence Drift™
New Manager
“I don’t know how to lead.”
Signal
Capability Drift™
Burned Out Professional
“I think I’m in the wrong role.”
Signal
Identity Drift™
Mid-Career Professional
“I don’t know what comes next.”
Signal
Identity Drift™
The assessment must connect to those problems. That is the gap.

Leadership Intelligence Assessment™
LIA™The individual equivalent of the Institutional Intelligence Assessment™ (IIA™). While the IIA™ diagnoses the organization, the LIA™ diagnoses the leader — measuring leadership behavior, organizational influence, and career trajectory across three advisory tracks.
Core Question
How do I maximize my effectiveness, impact, and growth as a leader?
Questions
54 questions
Administration
Digital administration; results available within 48 hours
Purpose
Leadership Intelligence™ helps professionals understand how they lead, where they create impact, and what may be limiting their effectiveness, influence, and growth. Unlike personality assessments, it focuses on leadership behavior, organizational influence, and career trajectory.
Leadership Capability™
How do I become an effective leader?
Measures the foundational management and leadership behaviors that determine day-to-day effectiveness.
Strategic Influence™
How do I maximize my impact and career trajectory?
Measures the ability to navigate organizational dynamics, build visibility, and advance strategically.
Leadership Evolution™
Who am I becoming?
Measures alignment between identity, purpose, and future direction — the most differentiated dimension.

Leadership Intelligence Profile™
The Leadership Intelligence Profile™ is the product every participant receives — assessment, report, and debrief in one deliverable. It includes three track-level profiles (Capability, Influence, Evolution), Leadership Drift Indicators™, and a 90-Day Roadmap™. No composite score — each profile stands on its own.
Capability Profile™
How effective is this leader in day-to-day leadership?
Maps the leader’s foundational leadership behaviors: communication, accountability, feedback, delegation, conflict, trust building, and decision making.
Influence Profile™
How effectively does this leader create impact and advance?
Maps the leader’s strategic influence: stakeholder management, executive presence, political acumen, organizational navigation, and sponsorship.
Evolution Profile™
How aligned is this leader with their purpose and future?
Maps the leader’s identity alignment: purpose, reinvention, resilience, legacy, and future planning.
No composite score. No complicated math. No psychometric burden. Profiles are descriptive, evidence-based, and immediately actionable.
Leadership Drift™ Types
The individual equivalent of Organizational Drift™. Five drift types combining competency theory, influence theory, emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, burnout research, and adult development theory into a single diagnostic framework.
Capability
Can I lead?
Influence
Can I create movement?
Human Experience
Can I connect with people?
Identity
Why am I leading?
Capacity
Can I sustain leadership?
Capability Drift™
Can I lead?
Definition
The leader lacks foundational leadership behaviors required to lead effectively.
The leader lacks core management skills. Foundational leadership behaviors — communication, accountability, delegation, feedback — have not been developed or have eroded over time. Grounded in competency theory.
Indicators
- Team members report unclear expectations
- Deadlines are missed without consequence
- Feedback is avoided or delivered poorly
- Delegation is inconsistent or nonexistent
- Conflict goes unaddressed
Affected Domains
Communication, Accountability, Feedback, Delegation, Conflict
Intervention
Leadership Capability Track™ — 90-Day Leading Self™ + Leading Others™ roadmap
Career Risk
Risk of being passed over for advancement; risk of team disengagement and turnover.
Influence Drift™
Can I create movement?
Definition
The leader possesses capability but struggles to create organizational movement.
The leader is doing good work but lacks visibility. Contributions are real but unrecognized. The leader’s impact is limited by an inability to navigate organizational dynamics and build strategic presence. Grounded in influence theory.
Indicators
- Work is high quality but invisible to senior leaders
- No senior sponsor advocating for advancement
- Stakeholder relationships are transactional, not strategic
- Executive presence is underdeveloped
- Career trajectory has plateaued despite strong performance
Affected Domains
Stakeholder Management, Executive Presence, Sponsorship & Visibility, Strategic Positioning
Intervention
Strategic Influence Track™ — 90-day Understand the System™ + Build Influence™ roadmap
Career Risk
Risk of career stagnation; risk of being outpaced by less capable but more visible peers.
Human Experience Drift™
Can I connect with people?
Definition
The leader has become disconnected from the human dimension of leadership.
Relationships have become transactional. Empathy has eroded. The leader no longer creates the conditions where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Grounded in emotional intelligence theory. This drift is uniquely ISA — most leadership frameworks treat connection as a soft skill, not a diagnosable condition.
Indicators
- Team members feel like resources, not people
- Empathy has been replaced by efficiency
- Difficult conversations are avoided or handled mechanically
- Trust has eroded across the team
- The leader is respected but not connected to
Affected Domains
Trust Building, Communication, Conflict, Feedback
Intervention
Leadership Capability Track™ with human experience focus — Leading Others™ roadmap
Career Risk
Risk of team disengagement, turnover, and cultural deterioration; risk of being seen as cold or transactional.
Identity Drift™
Why am I leading?
Definition
The leader’s role, values, and future direction are becoming misaligned.
The leader is no longer aligned with their role or purpose. There is a growing gap between who the leader is and who the role requires them to be. Grounded in authentic leadership and adult development theory. This is the most insidious drift — it is invisible until it becomes a crisis.
Indicators
- Growing sense of disconnection from work
- Values misalignment with organizational direction
- Loss of meaning and purpose in daily work
- Identity tied to role rather than to deeper purpose
- Quiet questioning of “is this what I want?”
Affected Domains
Identity, Purpose, Alignment, Legacy
Intervention
Leadership Evolution Track™ — 90-day Reflection™ + Reinvention™ roadmap
Career Risk
Risk of burnout, disengagement, or sudden career exit; risk of undermining own success.
Capacity Drift™
Can I sustain leadership?
Definition
The leader’s capacity to sustain performance is being depleted through burnout, fatigue, or prolonged pressure.
The leader’s physical, emotional, and cognitive capacity has diminished. Unlike acute stress, Capacity Drift™ is the slow erosion of the ability to sustain performance over time. Grounded in burnout and capacity research. This drift is uniquely ISA — it goes beyond burnout to diagnose the systemic depletion of leadership capacity. Without intervention, it cascades into all other dimensions.
Indicators
- Chronic exhaustion not relieved by rest
- Reduced cognitive bandwidth for complex decisions
- Emotional regulation has become effortful
- Physical symptoms of prolonged stress
- The leader is surviving, not thriving
Affected Domains
Resilience, Decision Making, Trust Building, Communication
Intervention
Leadership Evolution Track™ with capacity restoration focus — Reflection™ roadmap
Career Risk
Risk of health crisis, performance collapse, or involuntary departure; risk of damaging team through emotional dysregulation.
Leadership Intelligence Report™
The client-facing diagnostic deliverable for individual leaders. Equivalent to the I³ Report™ for organizations.
Executive Summary
