The Harrison Assessment

Leadership Isn’t Something You KNOW. It’s Something You DO.

Are you tired of subjective, simplistic or personality-based resources to develop your leadership? Now you can embrace a data-driven, targeted approach to rapidly increase your leadership effectiveness using the Harrison Behavioral Assessment, the premier behavioral assessment tool on the market today. 

The Harrison Assessment targets what you actually DO—not just what you KNOW. It predicts specific behavioral tendencies with incredible accuracy, and presents them in a way that reveals both impact and potential for development. When coupled with 1-1 individual coaching, we’ve seen significant and lasting change in specific leadership competencies in as little as 60 days.

Can you get those results from consuming yet another book or a seminar? Doubtful, since everything you know about leadership is worthless if it never becomes an intentional behavior. 

Reach out to find out more about how leadership coaching built around the Harrison Assessment can help you go beyond your status quo—now.

Why It Works

Most assessments focus on personality or temperament—which provide only a generalized and potential view of how someone might perform in a given role. In contrast, the Harrison Assessment system identifies actual and personalized behavioral traits and tendencies, which reveal:

  • Specific work interests

  • Work preferences

  • Work values

  • Interpersonal skills

  • Fit with a supervisor

The Harrison is an ideal talent management solution for role placement, executive coaching, performance development, individual development plans, employee engagement, leadership capabilities, and behavioral competency development. This allows for deep organizational development analysis of leadership capability, talent pipeline, succession planning, team development, organizational engagement and retention.

How it Works

Harrison's industry-leading SmartQuestionnaire measures 175 workplace factors, evaluating leadership paradoxes, emotional intelligence, personality, motivation, attitudes, passion for specific jobs, engagement, and retention—all in one high-tech, 25-minute questionnaire. 

Paradox Technology measures how employees manage 12 paradoxical pairs of behaviors, each of which relate to an important core value. These paradoxical pairs appear opposite but are actually synergistic and balancing—such as the traits of Frankness and Diplomacy. Mastery of behavioral paradoxes allow for higher-order leadership effectiveness.
