Methodology
The Leadership Circle Profile & The Leadership System™
The Assessment
What Is the Leadership Circle Profile?
The Leadership Circle Profile is a validated 360-degree leadership assessment used by organizations worldwide, measuring both the Creative competencies and the Reactive tendencies that shape how a leader actually performs under pressure.
Unlike a personality test, it connects directly to business outcomes: it shows how a leader’s habits of mind translate into decisions, culture, and results — the exact link a board or investor needs to see.
Tonny Larsen is a Certified Leadership Circle Profile practitioner, using it as the diagnostic starting point for every Qleadership™ engagement.
The Methodology
What Is The Leadership System™?
The Leadership System™ is a systemic approach to leadership development, built on the premise that lasting change comes from a connected set of interventions, not a single workshop or a one-off assessment.
It combines the Leadership Circle Profile with structured feedback, targeted development, and ongoing reinforcement, so leadership growth compounds over time instead of fading after a single session.
QLeap implements The Leadership System™ as Qleadership System™, adapted to the pace and scrutiny of PE-backed and board-governed organizations.
Why It Matters
Why It Matters for Boards & Investors
A validated assessment and a systemic methodology, not an opinion. Here is why that matters when leadership is part of the investment case.
A Common Language
Boards and management teams get a shared, validated vocabulary for leadership, not vague impressions, but data everyone can act on.
Benchmarked, Not Subjective
The Leadership Circle Profile is normed against a global database, so leadership strengths and risks can be benchmarked and tracked over time.
Built for Due Diligence
A structured, repeatable methodology that holds up when a board, an investment committee, or a new owner asks how leadership was actually assessed.
