Human Synergistics Diagnostic
Leadership/Impact
measure the impact you have
Leadership/Impact (LI) is a 360-degree diagnostic from Human Synergistics that measures not just how leaders lead, but the impact their leadership has on the people around them.
From how you lead to the difference it makes
LI connects the strategies a leader uses to the behaviours, motivation, and performance those strategies produce. It moves leadership development beyond intention, showing the tangible effect your approach has on the effectiveness of the people you lead.
How it works
Leaders complete a self-assessment while colleagues, managers, and direct reports provide confidential feedback — together revealing the strategies driving your impact.
Step 1
Complete a self-assessment
You begin by reflecting on the strategies you use as a leader and the impact you believe you have on the people around you.
Step 2
Gather confidential feedback
Colleagues, managers, and direct reports provide confidential, multi-rater feedback on how your leadership is actually experienced.
Step 3
Compare actual to ideal impact
Your results contrast the impact you currently have with the ideal impact you aspire to — and reveal the strategies driving the gap between the two.
Leadership development that's grounded in reality
Because LI is built on confidential feedback from the people you work with, your development plan is shaped by how your leadership is genuinely experienced — not by assumptions.

The strategies behind your impact
LI distinguishes between the leadership strategies that bring out the best in people and those that can hold them back — making the levers of effective leadership clear.
Prescriptive strategies
The leadership strategies that bring out the best in others — building motivation, engagement, and effectiveness across the people you lead.
Restrictive strategies
The strategies that can quietly limit performance and engagement, holding people back from doing their best work.
What you get
LI turns confidential, multi-rater feedback into a clear, focused view of your leadership impact and the steps to strengthen it.

The Circumplex
All Human Synergistics diagnostics map onto the Circumplex — a research-validated framework that organises thinking and behavioural styles into 12 positions across three orientations: Constructive (blue), Passive/Defensive (green), and Aggressive/Defensive (red).
How do they compare?
Choose the right diagnostic for your needs. Human Synergistics tools use the Circumplex framework for deeper, research-backed insight into thinking styles and culture.

What our clients say
Hear from leaders and organisations who have used Human Synergistics diagnostics to build self-awareness and drive change.
This is the most meaningful training I have ever attended, most likely as it was to help me look at the way I do things, how this impacts others, and developing new practices to improve my performance as a team member and leader.
Leadership Program Participant
Local Government
The LSI helped me see patterns I had been blind to for years. The debrief with my coach was confronting but incredibly valuable. I now have a clear plan for shifting towards more constructive styles.
Senior Manager
Health Sector
Running the OCI across our organisation gave us the data we needed to have honest conversations about our culture. We could finally see the gap between where we were and where we wanted to be.

Frequently asked questions
What does Leadership/Impact measure?
L/I measures the strategies you use as a leader — both the prescriptive strategies that bring out the best in others and the restrictive strategies that can limit performance — and the impact those strategies have on the people you lead.
How does the L/I assessment work?
You complete a self-assessment while colleagues, managers, and direct reports provide confidential, multi-rater feedback. Your results then compare the impact you currently have with the ideal impact you aspire to, revealing the strategies driving the gap.
What do leaders walk away with?
Leaders leave with insight into the real impact of their leadership, a clear view of the gap between current and ideal impact, the specific strategies driving that gap, and a focused, measurable development plan.
