Research shows that more than 40% of leaders in talent pools are not high potentials.
~Henry L. Thompson, Ph.D., HPS CEO

Leader potential is too critical to be a guessing game. ~Henry L. Thompson, Ph.D., HPS CEO
Take the guesswork out of talent selection. Contact HPS to get started.
The LPE™ results show whether a leader candidate is a match for a specific Role now, and the candidate's potential to be successful in different Role Levels over time.
For example (see chart), LPE™ results show that both Candidates A and B can be successful Supervisors now, However—unlike other assessments— LPE™ results also reveal that Candidate A can operate successfully at the VP Level in the future, while Candidate B is best suited to remain at a Supervisor Role Level. This information improves the way organizations select and promote leaders. |

Mistakes in hiring and promotion cost money—lots of money. Reducing the number of these mistakes is critical. LPE improves talent placement and puts lost money back on the bottom line.
Choosing the right leader at any Level is difficult. Despite a multitude of “secrets to success,” the real
world abounds with examples of the Peter Principle—leaders assigned to Roles beyond their capabilities.
HR Departments and search firms tend to select leader candidates by screening data that are readily available
for review—the “tip of the iceberg.” In reality, those factors determine only about 10% of a candidate’s potential for leadership success.
What about the other 90% that shows up for work? Many HR Departments and leader promotion committees lack the technical expertise to assess the bottom 90% of the iceberg—the Innate factors that traditional screening methods miss. |
I first chose the Leadership Potential Equation when I was in the process of building an executive team to take my company to the next level in a high-tech, highly competitive industry. The LPE was invaluable in helping me achieve that goal. I’ve continued working with Dr. Thompson and his team because the LPE helps me make sure I get the right people on my team. It gives me objective data for making hiring, assignment and promotion decisions and helps me sustain my team over time.
