For Leaders
The Leadership Balance Profile (LBP) is a powerful developmental tool that provides foundational feedback for unique leadership training and executive coaching programs. These programs are designed to help leaders and managers change pragmatically, over time, as they master six key leadership qualities. When these vital aspects of leadership are developed, balanced and aligned, they significantly increase the effectiveness of any leader. The LBP is available as both a self-assessment tool and a 360 feedback assessment.
Uses of the LBP in organizations include: developing emerging leaders by activating leadership capacity in the workforce, coaching of executives, reducing problem behavior, and retaining talent. The LBP can is also used as a integral component of organizational development (for example, to align teams of decision makers so they accelerate each other's effectiveness within the whole system).

The Leadership Balance Preference Scale
The Leadership Balance Preference Scale is a forced-rank assessment based on the Leadershp Balance Profile. It provides an excellent introduction to The Balancing Act methodology by revealing which of the 5 Elements of Success a leader most prefers in his or her leadership style and personal life.
This lens often provides a fresh, helpful perspective about the potential roots of current problems, and ways a leader might bring new insights to resolve difficult situations.
The Core Type Profile
The Core Type Profile (CTP) provides leaders with an assessment of their preferences among 10 different leadership styles. The CTP helps leaders understand themselves, their colleagues, and those they manage by identifying the different--and sometimes contradictory--plots that influence their managing and decision-making styles. These 10 Core Types are often seen as the central heroic characters of stories told throughout human history.
The CTP gives people a shapshot of the ways they prefer to handle key workplace issues, as seen through the lens of type. This feedback is helpful for navigating significant change, improving workplace interactions, and increasing effectiveness under stress.
