PERMA-Lead Profiler
This online test procedure, which of course meets the criteria for organizational psychological diagnostics, provides managers with detailed feedback on their positive leadership behavior with little effort. In addition, the expectations of one's own leadership style and the motivation to develop further become visible.
The Profiler is a very simple and quick tool to use. For this purpose, a manager answers various test questions online; the duration is approximately 15 minutes. The evaluation takes place directly after the test. This shows in which of the PERMA lead areas the manager is already working to his or her full potential and in which areas there is still potential for development. As a result, the manager receives a 13-page evaluation report in which his or her own results are compared with a regularly updated benchmark.
Studies on PERMA lead leadership assessments show that the level of self- and third-party assessments can vary, but the assessment of which of the five PERMA lead areas should be developed the least or the most is relatively consistent.

The average number of managers with a higher, similar or lower score is shown.
In addition, the leader's own expectations of himself or herself are surveyed and compared with the behavior.
Studies on the assessments of PERMA lead leadership behavior show that the level of self- and third-party assessments can differ, but the assessment of which of the five PERMA lead areas should be developed the least or the most is relatively consistent.
Depending on the expression of the individual values, various individualized text modules are combined by an intelligent system in the background. Thus, this test has the advantage that the result is immediately available and yet there are more than 700 different text combinations in the evaluation reports.
Test access is via a one-time code, and testing is completely anonymous. Possible applications of the PERMA Lead Profiler are predominantly found in individual coaching, in the preparation for management workshops and, due to the quick availability of the results, directly in seminars.
Optional evaluation coaching
In the course of an evaluation coaching session with a certified consultant, the results of the test are discussed confidentially with each manager and concrete measures for his or her own area are derived from them. We recommend two coaching units in a block (45 minutes each).
The coach shows - tailored to the results - concrete tools and techniques for the executive and gives tips on practical implementation. Currently, more than 1.100 certified PERMA Lead Consultants* are trained to use the method. A geographical overview of all independent certified consultants can be found on the PERMA-Lead Google Maps. We would be happy to recommend someone near you.
360° Feedback Leadership and Management Competencies
In this process, the self-assessment of the manager is compared with three other external assessments: that of the employees, that of the manager's supervisor and a third group, which is usually made up of colleagues of the same rank.
With this tool, we provide an instrument based on well-founded scientific results. Only questions relevant to leadership, management or career are asked.
This option can only be used in combination with evaluation coaching by a certified consultant or coach.
Your additional advantages compared to the Profiler
-
Higher information content
In addition to the PERMA lead factors, a whole bundle of management competencies as well as career-promoting behaviors are also surveyed. In the course of an evaluation coaching session, each manager receives an approx. 40-page evaluation report with their individual, concrete results on the respective leadership and management competencies.
-
self-selected questions
The opportunity to formulate a few additional questions (e.g. relating to corporate mission statements, internal leadership values, competency content from continuing education programs, etc.) yourself.
-
Evaluate objectively
In order to assess whether and in which areas leadership development has been successful, the perception of employees, supervisors and possibly colleagues is relevant in addition to one's own assessment. A 360° feedback is the instrument to objectively evaluate the further development of executives.
-
Focus on individual goals
Individual goals are defined by the participating executives based on the assessment of their current position and are focused on in the further training.
-
mandatory evaluation coaching
The results of the test are discussed confidentially with a PERMA lead consultant and concrete measures for the own area are developed, including tools, techniques and tips for practical implementation. We recommend 3 coaching units in a block (45 minutes each).

In this process, the manager's self-assessment is compared with three other external assessments: that of the employees, that of the manager's supervisor and a third group, which is usually made up of colleagues of the same rank. This variant can only be conducted in combination with evaluation coaching by a certified consultant or coach. The amount of information in this tool is much greater than in the PERMA Lead Profiler, since in addition to the PERMA Lead Factors, a whole bundle of management competencies as well as career-promoting behaviors are also collected.
The two additional areas are also science-based. This means that behind all questions there are studies that show that a higher value actually has a measurable positive impact. The number of applications for 360°-employees in organizations has been steadily increasing over the past few years. With this tool, we provide an instrument whose basis is sound scientific results. Only questions relevant to leadership, management or career are asked.
In addition, this tool provides the option of formulating a few further questions (e.g. relating to corporate mission statements, internal leadership values, competency content from continuing education programs, etc.) yourself.
In addition to the perceived behavior, the individual expectations of the various feedback providers are also collected and compared with the behavior of the manager.
Any form of further development of executives and regular assessments are suitable applications. The manager receives very detailed feedback on how he/she experiences him/herself in different areas and how he/she is experienced by others. Additionally, the own expectations as well as the expectations of the others towards the feedback recipient are compared.
Another special added value of this tool is its use for the precise planning and evaluation of management programs. For this purpose, 360° feedback is conducted prior to the program. This provides participants with a precise assessment of their current situation as well as concrete, individually tailored learning objectives. Based on the results, the focus of an executive development can be determined very accurately.
After completion of the leadership program, 360° feedback is again conducted. Through this before and after measurement, the quality of the further development as well as the quality of the program can be objectively assessed.
Evaluation coaching
During an evaluation coaching session with a certified consultant, the results of the test are discussed confidentially with each manager and concrete measures for his or her own area are derived from them. We recommend at least three coaching sessions in a block (45 minutes each).
The coach shows - tailored on the basis of the results - concrete tools and techniques for the manager and gives tips for practical implementation. Currently, more than 1.100 certified PERMA Lead Consultants* are trained to use the method. A geographical overview of all independent certified consultants can be found on the PERMA-Lead Google Maps. We would be happy to recommend someone near you.
Leadership and organizational culture analysis
Based on the results of several 360° feedbacks, a general overview of the current company-wide leadership and organizational culture is calculated. It compares how the current leadership culture is perceived by the different groups surveyed (employees, managers & others) and what expectations are generally placed on leadership behavior and management competencies.
Your advantages
-
Feedback on your organizational culture
It becomes visible how the organizational culture is experienced and which behaviors the employees experience as desirable or less desirable. An accompanying leadership and organizational culture analysis is a perfect way to keep the concrete results from the 360° feedbacks confidential and to create an exact diagnosis based on them.
-
Making strengths visible
The leadership and organizational culture analysis makes visible where strengths already exist in general and where the greatest areas for development are, or in which areas self-perception and perception by others are similar and where the greatest differences exist.
-
fit planning phase
Based on the analysis, it is possible to derive meaningful content-related focal points for seminars and workshops in the planning phase of management development programs or in change processes, based on the current real situation in the company.
-
Benchmark comparisons with other companies
Based on the scientific studies on PERMA-Lead, numerous, concrete questions such as: "Where should we start to reduce fluctuation?" or "How can we reduce the risk of burnout in the company?" concrete benchmarks are available, with which changes in the organizational culture the greatest, positive development can be achieved.

An overall view of the current company-wide leadership and organizational culture is calculated from the results of several 360° feedbacks.
The results are calculated anonymously from the data of several 360° feedbacks. Subsequently, it is compared how the current leadership culture is perceived by the different groups surveyed (all employees, all managers, all colleagues) and what their general expectations are regarding leadership behavior and management competencies.
Furthermore, it becomes visible how the organizational culture is experienced and which behaviors of the employees are experienced as desirable or less desirable. An accompanying leadership and organizational culture analysis is a good way, on the one hand, to keep the concrete results from the 360° feedbacks confidential and, on the other hand, to create an exact diagnosis of the organizational culture on the basis of these results.
The advantage of this is that customized further training measures can be derived on the basis of the assessment.
The analysis of leadership and organizational culture reveals where strengths already exist in general, where the greatest areas for development are, in which areas self-perception and perception by others are similar, and where the greatest differences are to be found.
Especially in the planning phase of leadership development programs or in change processes in general, it makes sense to first conduct a company-specific assessment of the current situation. And then to start from there with a precise fit. The analysis can be used to derive tailor-made content priorities for seminars and workshops, because they are based precisely on the real current situation in the company.
Optionally, general benchmark comparisons to other companies can be integrated into the analysis.
Due to the scientific studies on PERMA-Lead, numerous concrete questions are available, such as:
„Where should we start to reduce staff turnover?“
„How can we positively influence the number of sick days?“
„How can we reduce the risk of burnout in the company?“
Concrete benchmarks from various research results are available, which make visible with which changes in the organizational culture the greatest positive development can be expected.
