Growing effective leaders to meet current and future demands is a key priority for many organizations, and PDRI offers a wide array of services to meet these challenges. Using a solid foundation of leadership theory and extensive practical experience, we help organizations identify and develop leadership talent through:

• Defining leadership needs: Our first step is to hone in on the critical competencies needed by the organization’s leaders, which provide a clear understanding of how success is defined within a given context. Once identified, these leadership competencies form the framework for our subsequent development efforts.

• Designing customized talent assessment tools: Great leaders are built by giving exceptional training experiences to talented individuals. PDRI brings its 30 years of assessment and measurement expertise to help organizations identify the leadership talent with the greatest potential. We create customized leadership assessment tools, including:


• Measures of personality and cognitive skills
• Assessment centers and leadership simulations
• Performance measurement tools (including 360-degree evaluation)

• Creating customized development programs: At the cornerstone of our development programs are the concepts of self-awareness, adaptability, action learning, and feedback, and we have extensive experience in developing programs that incorporate these concepts. We create content tailored to our customer’s unique needs, including classroom or web-based training, 360-degree feedback, self-development tools, experiential learning activities, and leadership simulations.
