Frequently Asked Questions
The Leadership Skills Profile – Revised® (LSP-R®) is a 25-minute online leadership assessment. It evaluates 50 key leadership competencies across cognitive, interpersonal, personal, and senior leadership skills, helping human resource leaders, talent managers, and executives identify high-potential talent, close skill gaps, and accelerate leadership growth.
The LSP-R is designed for professionals and is ideal for:
- Current leaders (managers, directors, executives)
- High-potential employees being considered for advancement
- Leadership candidates in hiring or promotion processes
- Participants in leadership development programs
The LSP-R follows a simple, scalable process designed to deliver actionable leadership insights quickly:
- Leaders complete a 25-minute online assessment answering questions about their typical workplace behaviors
- The responses are evaluated across 50 leadership competencies to measure critical leadership capabilities
- Each leader receives clear insights into where they excel and where development is needed, along with indicators of readiness for more complex or senior roles
- HR and executive teams can view results across groups of leaders to identify systemic capability gaps, bench strength, and succession risks
This streamlined process allows organizations across the U.S. and Canada to move quickly from assessment to action, without the delays, costs, or complexity of traditional assessment methods.
The LSP-R helps organizations identify high-potential talent, reduce leadership risk, and accelerate development. Used by thousands of organizations across North America, it enables leaders to:
- Make data-driven hiring and promotion decisions
- Identify high-potential (HiPo) individuals
- Build strong succession pipelines
- Improve leadership development ROI
- Gain clear visibility into leadership bench strength
Whether used in a mid-market organization with 200 to 2,000 employees or a large enterprise with more than 10,000 employees, the LSP-R provides standardized data that supports consistent comparison across leaders.
No. Unlike many other leadership assessments, the LSP-R is:
- Certification-free
- Self-directed for development
- Scalable across populations without individual coaching fees
This makes it economically viable for mid-market and enterprise organizations across the U.S. and Canada.
Many tools focus on personality, require costly coaching, or don’t scale well. Others fail to support broader talent decisions or provide meaningful organizational insight. The LSP-R is different:
- Measures 50 clear leadership competencies (not abstract types)
- Supports both talent decisions and development in one tool
- Scales cost-effectively with no required coaching or certification
- Provides organizational insight into bench strength and succession gaps
- Scientifically validated and widely trusted
The LSP-R delivers actionable, scalable data for real leadership decisions.
The LSP-R makes it possible to generate leadership insights quickly across the organization. Each assessment takes about 25 minutes, and results are available immediately upon completion. As responses are collected, organizations can build a standardized view of leadership capability, identify bench strength and succession gaps, and bring more objective data into board-level talent discussions.
The LSP-R assessment follows a transparent pricing structure:
- U.S.: $137 per assessment
- Canada: $149 per assessment
This includes platform access, reporting, and support, with no mandatory coaching fees or hidden costs, making it highly cost-effective for scaling across large leadership groups.
The LSP-R provides a clear financial and strategic case by keeping the total cost of implementation, administration, and ongoing use low while delivering measurable value. Because one assessment supports both talent decisions and leadership development, organizations avoid paying for multiple tools. Its scalability allows companies to assess large populations without escalating costs, and follow-up measurement options make it possible to demonstrate real improvements in leadership capability over time.
