See how leaders actually lead.
LeaderSim is an AI-powered leadership simulation of about 60 minutes that places leaders inside a realistic business situation and shows you what they actually do.
LeaderSim is currently offered as a pilot.
How LeaderSim works
01
Business Case
A leadership role, a strategy or transformation mandate, and incomplete information.
The leader receives detailed information about the organization, its performance, its people, and the challenge they have been asked to address.
02
Leadership Team
Teammates with different perspectives, priorities, and expertise.
The leader chooses whom to involve and how to engage them throughout the simulation.
03
The Simulation
New information arrives. Events change. The situation keeps moving.
The leader interacts with AI colleagues, asks questions, challenges assumptions, gathers information, and makes decisions in their own words.
04
Assessment Data
LeaderSim captures what the leader actually does.
What they pay attention to.
What they ask.
Who they involve and when.
What they challenge.
What they are willing to commit to.
How they respond as the situation changes.
And what they ultimately decide to do.
What LeaderSim helps you see
LeaderSim provides evidence about how a leader approaches a complex situation.
What do they notice?
What information do they focus on first? What do they overlook? What appears most important to them?
What do they ask?
Do they seek the information they need? Do they explore competing explanations? Do they ask the right people the right questions?
Who do they involve?
Do they use the expertise around them? Who do they engage, and at what point in the process?
How do they challenge?
Do they test assumptions? Surface disagreement? Push when necessary?
How do they decide?
When do they move from learning to action? How do they weigh competing priorities and incomplete information?
How do they adapt?
What happens when new information arrives or the situation changes?
Built for consequential leadership decisions.
LeaderSim supports three of the most consequential activities in talent management.
Selection
See how candidates lead in realistic situations, alongside the interviews, references, and assessments you already use.
LeaderSim adds direct evidence of leadership behavior to the hiring process.
Development
Turn observable leadership behavior into specific and actionable development plans.
LeaderSim can be used before a leadership development journey so the work begins with observable evidence of how the leader approaches a complex situation.
Succession Planning
Use LeaderSim in combination with Hogan and the Leadership Versatility Index 360 for succession planning.
Personality, 360 feedback, interviews, and experience all provide important information.
LeaderSim adds evidence of how a potential successor actually leads when the situation is live.
Use LeaderSim to add observable leadership behavior to your selection, development, and succession decisions.
