ABOUT
Built on the belief that good data builds
better leaders.
Westerberg Assessments is an assessment and leadership development firm. We help coaches and organizations leverage intuition with evidence-based insight for change that sticks.
APPROACH
A methodology built
on three lenses.
Leadership is not a single trait — it is the interaction between who a person is, how they are perceived, and how effectively they move others. Our work is organized around those three dimensions.
Each engagement integrates scientifically validated instruments across all three lenses, then synthesizes the data into a coherent picture rather than a stack of separate reports.
Identity - Who you are
Values, motives, and the drivers that shape how a leader shows up when no one is watching. Assessed through validated values and personality instruments.
Reputation - How others see you
Behavioral patterns as experienced by the people around you — the leadership brand a person has built, whether intentionally or not.
Influence - How you move others
Emotional intelligence and the capacity to understand, manage, and apply emotion in service of leadership effectiveness.
