Should you do an assessment before leadership training?

Short answer

Yes. Measuring first changes what gets trained. Without an assessment, training addresses leadership in general. With one, it addresses what’s actually slowing your company down, which might be a skill gap, a broken handoff between departments or decisions nobody owns. Some of those need training. Some need a decision from the senior team. An assessment tells you which, and gives you a starting point to measure against later.

The longer answer

An organizational assessment and leadership training aren’t alternatives. The assessment tells you where to aim. The training does the work. And re-running the same assessment afterward tells you whether it worked.

Our diagnostic is a fixed fee of $3,500. It looks across your departments and leadership layers, puts a number on the problem using your figures and ends with a plan for the first 90 days.
