Leadership Assessment

Chameleon’s Leadership Assessment goes beyond CVs to uncover how leaders will truly perform in the context of your strategy. Acting as a brand ambassador, we enable clients to make multiple hires across a specific skill set, geography, or function, assessing cultural fit, leadership style, and personality as part of our qualification criteria. This can be built into an Executive Search engagement or delivered as a dedicated service.

We typically see two scenarios where our assessment delivers the most value:

• At the conclusion of an Executive Search – assessing the final shortlist to highlight strengths, risks, and likely working styles, guiding the client on where to probe in interviews.
• As a standalone leadership audit – analysing established teams to advise HR leaders on dynamics, strengths, gaps, and how to position talent for maximum impact.

 Whether assessing new hires or existing executives post-M&A, ahead of a reorganisation, or during succession planning, our process benchmarks individuals against peer groups defined by seniority, function, and geography. Every assessment is backed by statistical analysis of over 100,000 leaders and our proprietary Impact Model, bridging the gap between individual behaviours and organisational outcomes.

The output is operational, not academic. Reports are easy to interpret, clearly outlining preferred work roles, potential risks, and actionable recommendations to inform hiring, training, and deployment decisions. This is insight that makes leadership decisions faster, smarter, and safer.
