Leadershipmetrics

Leadershipmetrics is a term used in the Ideal leadership model to describe the theory and technique of measurement of leadership capital elements in an individual and the leadership conditions they are operating in.

Leadership Capital is one aspect of the Ideal Leadership model, which is defined as the six competencies that constitute the leader's ability to direct an organization forward in a positive direction. These competencies are: wisdom, courage, trust, voice, vision and values.

Leadership conditions are the second component of the Ideal Leadership model. Conditions are the elements that give a leader the opportunity to lead. Basically, a person must be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things, with the right people.

Leadershipmetrics uses a formal instrument of measurement known as a Leadership Capital Assessment. This self-examination primarily measures the six competency areas on a 1-99 scale. The Ideal Leadership Model postulates that an individual should have a score of at least 70 to exhibit effective competence in that area. Scores excessive of 90 or less than 40 are indicators that the individual could be exhibiting anti-leadership tendencies.

Leadershipmetrics also examines the individual's leadership conditions from very poor to very good. The Ideal Leadership Model postulates that unless an individual has conditions that are good to very good in each of the four areas, they will not have the opportunity to lead within an organization.
