Why Leadership Engine Exists

Leadership Development
Without Measurement
Is Guesswork

Most leadership development is delivered on faith. No baseline, no measure of change, no way to show the executive team it worked. You wouldn't run the business on vibes. Why run its leadership that way?

Leadership Engine was created to solve this problem, providing a scalable platform of diagnostics and dashboards for measuring, improving and proving leadership effectiveness.

What clients say

"It was a little confronting at first to see my team lagging other teams. But after the Building Extraordinary Teams Diagnostic debrief I felt motivated and equipped because the insights were so specific and actionable. My team is very technical and culturally diverse and I hadn't realised how much impact that was having on Candour. The data and the roadmap have really helped us make progress."

CIO, Australian Government Agency

"Our Accelerate talent program runs over many months and is the premier development program in the company. When we first engaged People of Influence, they delivered a 90-minute workshop with the Magnetic Influence Diagnostic. This one session had such an immediate impact that, in the years since, the Magnetic Influence Diagnostic has become a core element of the program and we've engaged People of Influence to design and facilitate our entire leadership development offering. The results and the feedback have been phenomenal."

Head of OD, Energy company

"Flying our regional leaders to be face-to-face in Dubai is a high-pressure engagement and I was so pleased the Antifragility Advantage workshop and diagnostic had a massive impact on our most senior leaders. Our challenges, the uncertainty we face and our workloads are intense. We've now engaged People of Influence to deliver the Antifragility Advantage for everyone in the region, particularly given the challenges hundreds of our team members are facing in the Middle East."

Regional HR Director, Global Skincare Company

"Who would have thought that during COVID lockdowns we'd actually be able to improve our team effectiveness? That's exactly what the series of Building Extraordinary Teams workshops helped us do. As country MDs from India to China to Australia, the team rarely get to be face-to-face, but even doing this work virtually has paid dividends over time."

Regional MD, multinational software company

"People of Influence were first engaged to work with the executive team. We then engaged them to upskill all leaders with people-management responsibility, not just our executives but all the way to frontline leaders. A critical part of proving the ROI of the program has been the Growing Great People diagnostic. It has challenged some of our senior leaders who sometimes just go through the motions with these sorts of programs. Some of them think 'I know this stuff', but it reinforces that it's not what you know, but what you do. It's about the consistency of your behaviours and how your people perceive those behaviours."
