Professional & Leadership Assessments
Self-awareness is a key differentiator for successful leaders.
Professional assessments help The Edmunds Group take an individualized approach to every executive and every challenge, as they help us understand each person’s unique values, aspirations and goals.
Whether self-rated or 360° in nature, assessments provide greater insight into one's operating system, style, decision-making, and watch-outs. These assessments provide reflection, insight, and valuable date from multiple stakeholders who have first-hand knowledge of interacting with the leader.
