We use the full suite of world class leadership assessments from Management Research Group to support the insights of our clients and their leadership teams. Our consultants are externally certified by MRG to use their assessments.

Of course we know that there are many other assessments available on the market. We continue to chose to work with MRG's suite of assessment instruments for a number of reasons.

Through it's semi-ipsative questionnaire design for MRG's assessments. This format of asking questions makes it very difficult for respondents to unconsciously affect or manipulate results. Leading to more meaningful insights and a deeper understanding. You will find this questioning technique nowhere else and is unique and patented.
The size of the norm groups with over 1.2 million real business leaders worldwide. Providing our coachees with one of the best benchmarks.
It's availability in many languages.
Actionable advice. Helping to create personal roadmaps and follow up.
Not overly simplified results about people. For instance people brought back into colors or numbers, easily leading to caricatures and not very helpful for development. But honoring a person's complexity and soul.
And last but not least, it's a professional firm where we have very good personal relationships. So we can help co-create some of the services they offer.

We us the full suite of MRG's assessments.

Personal Directions™

This assessment gives profound insight in what drives people at their deepest level. As a result, it provides tangible feedback how people see themselves. Answering questions like: what gives me emotional satisfaction? What drains my energy away?

This also a great tool to build complementary leadership teams. Creating effective teams that are really built on differences in character between the business leaders. And not copy cats! For more information on this assessment, please download our one pager research abstract here.

Sales Performance Assessment™

This assessment is a powerful offering that helps create a high performance sales force that will drive business growth. MRG's research studies on sales performance indicate there is no one right way to sell. Top performers differ depending on their industry, company, geography and role. While sales performance is highly influenced by external factors, our model of measuring 18 Sales Behaviors and 6 Sales Drivers provides insight into individual performers and collective teams.

"The Personal Directions program en the one-on-one conversations with Paul (Donkers red.) were very useful and insightful! He quickly knew how to get to the heart of the matter. The result was that all the pieces of the puzzle came together. For me, it made clear which steps I had to take and to clearly understand to work on which characteristics and pitfalls to allow me to develop myself further in my professional career."

'With this message I would like to thank you and ten company for your effective coaching during my Humanitarian leadership Management School (of the Red Cross, red.).

Our exchanges have been of an important added value on the way see myself, the way I interract with others and the way I achieve expected results. The outcome of my Individual Directions Inventory has brought me to a point where I consciously consider where to rely on my inner resources and where to seek other's strong points and qualities. I somehow did this before intuitively. Today I do it consciously, I manage it and find it more effective. More efficient.

I am happy to have added a new tool to my toolbox in my search of excellence.
I thank you for your leadership!'
