Retain and Maximize the Potential of Key Leadership Talent
Successful organizations promote based on results, but they don't develop the leadership capabilities needed to maintain those results at scale. I develop leaders' cognitive capacity to perform at high levels under increasing complexity, demand and pressure - before it derails your key talent.
Schedule a Discovery CallThe Leadership Development Gap
When complexity, demand, and pressure increase, even your strongest performers hit cognitive capacity limits.
Without intervention, this leads to:
- High-potential leaders derailing in new roles
- Increased turnover of key talent
- Performance decline under pressure
- Leadership pipeline fragility
- Costly replacement and onboarding cycles
Traditional leadership development addresses skills and competencies but misses the cognitive infrastructure that makes those skills accessible and executable under load.
How We Develop Leadership Capacity
Personalized, assessment-driven development. We identify each leader's capacity strengths and constraints, then build customized and targeted interventions. Everyone's cognitive architecture is different, so standardized leadership development leaves gaps.
Three Key Elements:
- Assessment-Driven We measure cognitive capacity across 12 critical functions to identify where leaders are strong and where constraints create performance risk.
- Personalized Interventions We build targeted development plans based on each leader's unique capacity profile, not generic competency frameworks.
- Sustainable Performance We address the infrastructure that determines whether skills translate to performance under pressure and increasing responsibility.
The Leadership Executive Function Inventory (LEFI)
We use a validated assessment of 12 cognitive functions that determine leadership performance:
- Sustained Attention
- Problem Solving
- Time Management
- Task Initiation
- Planning & Prioritization
- Organization
- Goal-Directed Persistence
- Emotional Management
- Response Inhibition
- Working Memory
- Cognitive Flexibility
- Metacognition
Our proprietary analysis reveals:
- Each leader's capacity strengths and constraints
- Performance predictions across 10 leadership capacities
- Specific derailment risks before they impact results
- Energy management patterns (what energizes vs. depletes)
- Development priorities ranked by impact
Unlike competency assessments that measure what leaders should do, our analysis identifies whether they have the cognitive infrastructure to sustain performance as complexity increases.
The strength isn't in the questions - it's in the complexity of interpretation, application, and how we translate results into actionable interventions for leadership populations.
