Leadership Resources Management (LRM) helps organizations uncover where leadership misalignment, toxic behavior, and high-performer risk may be reducing execution, retention, and financial performance. This pilot study is designed to give executive teams a clear, measurable starting point for better leadership decisions.

Presented through executive-ready research and supported by pilot-study ROI findings of over 300% from financial impact of weak morale, lower productivity, and avoidable turnover.
Leadership problems are often expensive before they become obvious
Many organizations can see the symptoms of leadership strain long before they can quantify the cause. Slower execution, turnover risk, uneven accountability, leader-role mismatch, and the lingering impact of toxic behavior often show up across teams as operating drag.
Leadership Resources Management was developed to help leaders move beyond broad leadership development conversations and into a more disciplined evaluation of where leadership resources are aligned, underused, misapplied, or damaging performance. The goal is not to add another generic program, but to create a clearer basis for leadership decisions with measurable business relevance.
Included in the Pilot
The pilot is designed as a focused, executive-friendly engagement, which includes:
- A leadership resources analysis, where each leader’s assessment is compared to our population average and to others at the same organizational level.
- A one-on-one debriefing session with one of our coaches to review changes they can make to improve on the dimensions where they were below the population average, while also providing insights into the dimensions they were above the average to continue improving on what they’re doing right in those areas. These findings are all summarized in a report.
- Once all assessments are completed, leadership distributions are created and strategies discussed to retain the top leaders, develop the next level of leaders and monitor the next level of emerging leaders.
- Identification of where leadership structure, role fit, or behavior may be weakening team performance.
- Executive readout summarizing findings, financial implications, and practical next steps.
Pilot Findings Show Measurable Upside
In a recent 23-person pilot study, the organization realized a financial impact of $2.2 million from the toxic leader and misaligned leader analysis, as well as identifying high-performers for better retention strategies which represented ROIs 300% to 2,841% from weak morale, lower productivity, and avoidable turnover. These results help frame leadership management not only as a people issue, but as a measurable business-performance issue and was presented as a case study at the 2025 SHRM national conference.
Who is a Pilot Designed for?
This pilot is especially relevant for CEOs, COOs, CHROs, and senior HR leaders who want a sharper way to evaluate leadership effectiveness, execution risk, and talent retention exposure. It is well suited for mid-sized organizations that need more than intuition but want something more targeted and practical than a large-scale transformation effort.
Each Pilot Involves
- Minimum 20 persons
- Personalized results report and 1 hour of one-on-one coaching for each leader in the pilot
