Leadership Snapshot
Fast Data to Develop and Select First-Level Leaders
Development and selection decisions for first-level leaders often lack data. Most of the time, those decisions are based on a gut feeling that someone will be a natural leader, especially if they’ve been a top performer. But that’s not always the case. A leadership test can quickly give you the objective data you need.
The DDI Leadership SnapshotSM system can quickly identify development needs and predict leadership performance. Our testing services give you a snapshot view to create development plans or make hiring decisions.
And best of all? This leadership test is easy to scale.

Leadership Snapshot
Measure Personality and Leadership Judgment
Leadership Snapshot gives you data on two angles essential for high-performing leaders at the frontline: personality and leadership judgment. You see personal attributes and tendencies that enable your first-level leaders to grow and succeed. And you also learn their judgment on leadership competencies or behavioral skills needed on the job.
Leadership Snapshot measures 18 factors across three categories: Leadership Impact, Business and Management Skills, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. As a result, this leadership test gives you a well-rounded picture of a candidate’s likely capability and motivation to lead.

Increase Confidence in Selection Decisions
Data from Leadership Snapshot can help you make better selection decisions for first-level leader roles.
When using the leadership test for selection, we recommend pairing it with a behavioral interview. Hiring managers can review the test results in advance and receive a set of behavioral interview questions for follow-up. That way, they can explore how candidates’ scores relate to their behavior on the job.
When Leadership Snapshot is used with DDI’s behavioral interviewing system, you can get a more complete picture of your candidates.

Need More Data on Leadership Skills and Readiness?
Leadership Snapshot provides data for a moment in time on personality and judgment. It’s also a great data point for hiring or promotion. But it does not provide data on how a leader demonstrates skills.
Looking for a tool to measure behavioral skills and frontline leader readiness? Manager Ready provides deeper insight into leaders' strengths and development areas with a day-in-the-life simulation experience.
