On Line Assessments Given the complexity of leadership, what do we know for certain? Research with more than 50,000 managers in North America and Europe indicates that effective leaders demonstrate two overriding characteristics: Insight and Impact Successful leaders understand their impact. They possess insight into the way others perceive and react to their behaviors. This self-awareness allows them to influence positively. DeFrancesco Consulting uses a data driven approach to leadership and organizational development. We are proud to use feedback and assessment tools from some of the most notable international research and development firms including Management Research Group® and CPP, Inc. At DeFrancesco Consulting, we combine proven tools with experienced staff to deliver customized leadership development, executive coaching, and team building to individuals and companies globally. Our leadership assessment and feedback tools are available in multiple languages and use a wide variety of global norms. This distinguished product produced by MRG provides valid and reliable feedback on the use of leadership behaviors from self and others; direct reports, peers, and bosses. LEA 360™ produces a rich feedback report complete with profiles, narratives, strategic implications, and developmental opportunities. Because the feedback is based on behaviors, change and improvement efforts are realistic and tangible. The LEA Resource Guide, included with the feedback report, suggests action steps and provides tools for prioritizing and focusing developmental actions. Customized LEA 360™ This product enhances LEA 360™ by enabling the addition of two customized components to MRG’s LEA 360. These customized options can be used to incorporate an organization’s leadership competencies, norms, values, or other organization-specific variables to be measured in conjunction with the LEA variables. Customized variables can be added in two formats:

Sales Performance Assessment™ Sales is a highly visible function with no room for mediocrity, yet most companies know surprisingly little about the unique blend of behavior and motivation that creates success.

The Team Report provides a description of the group’s type, its strengths and weaknesses, and its problem solving and conflict management styles. It also offers a personalized action plan to improve team productivity. The report supplies information on the similarities and differences among the group members to build an effective, satisfied team. MBTI® Work Styles Report Conflicts between people jeopardize morale, efficiency, and employee retention.

Sections include communication style, information gathering, decision making, and project management. The report provides steps to develop a more productive, satisfying, and healthy working relationship. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Assessment Report With the tremendous success of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni, the need for a tangible measurement tool for the model became apparent. The Online Team Assessment addresses this need and provides teams with customized data outlining a given team‘s strengths and weaknesses according to the model. The detailed report offers specific recommendations for overcoming potential dysfunction and specific instructions for debriefing the results.
