About The Leadership Tolerance Test ®
What is The Leadership Tolerance Test ®?
The Leadership Tolerance Test ® is a self-conducted profiling tool that aims to evaluate the extent to which an actual or potential leader can accept a range of situations centred on staff attitude, conduct, behaviour, mindset and capability. The results of the test aim to form the basis of one-to-one coaching for that leader or a form of needs analysis identifying areas of training required. The results of the test also aim at increasing self-awareness and help leaders to consider how their actions shape the culture around them. Furthermore, increased self-awareness can allow a leader to better manage themselves, consider their strengths and how they use them, and their weaknesses.
