Executive Development Assessments: Strengthening Leaders for Complex Times

In today’s rapidly changing world, senior leaders face extraordinary challenges. Global disruption, digital transformation, stakeholder pressure, and employee well-being are all part of the executive agenda. To thrive in this environment, leaders must combine sharp decision-making with adaptability, ethical judgment, and resilience.

Fitt’s Executive Development Assessments are designed to give organizations a clear picture of how their leaders perform under pressure, how they manage ambiguity, and how they are equipped to lead transformation in sustainable ways.

Why Executive Development Matters

Executives don’t just set strategy - they embody it. Their actions shape culture, inspire confidence, and set the tone for organizational resilience. Yet many leaders are promoted on past success rather than tested for readiness in future challenges.

That’s why development-focused assessments are so powerful: they go beyond performance snapshots to reveal strengths, growth areas, and the sustainability of leadership impact.

What the Assessment Measures

Like all Fitt assessments, the Executive Development Assessment measures all 28 Fitt competencies, spanning:

Core Competencies: Collaboration, communication, problem-solving.
Enabling Competencies: Decision-making, managing performance, working under pressure.
Leadership Competencies: Driving innovation, customer focus, commercial acumen, developing people.
Forward-Looking Competencies: Leading change, managing ambiguity, strategic forecasting, learning agility, digital readiness.

For development purposes, the assessment also integrates:

Well-being – resilience, balance, and energy management.
Employee Experience Drivers – how leaders influence engagement and culture.
Team Roles & Career Preferences – to align leadership pathways with personal motivations.

Executive Development can be delivered at any tier, depending on your needs and resources:
