About the LSP-R Focus Assessment
The LSP-R is a personality assessment that uses employees’ natural tendencies to make inferences about their leadership behaviors. Results from this assessment can help employees identify strengths, as well as areas where they have opportunities to grow. There are several benefits to using an assessment like the LSP-R:
Benefits for Employees:
- Build self-awareness
- Learn to play to their strengths
- Capitalize on development opportunities
- Support personal and professional (i.e., leadership) development
- Increase employability
Benefits for Businesses
- Attract and retain talent
- Develop an internal pool of leaders
- Improve employee engagement and performance
- Lay the foundation for a leadership pipeline and succession planning process
Focus Report for Leadership Development
One of the major advantages of using the LSP-R is that every test-taker automatically receives an in-depth Focus Report upon completion of the assessment. The LSP-R Focus Report provides a summary of an individual’s scores for each of the 50 competencies in SIGMA’s Leadership Competency Framework. The report also highlights MyZONE competencies, which are optimal areas for development. Each score includes a detailed description of the competency, an analysis of the score, and guidance on specific ways the competency can be developed. The report also includes templates and activities that can be used to set development goals and create an action plan.
