Transformational Leaders ask themselves to lead and support large scale changes. This high level of change almost certainly elicits whatever strengths and weaknesses the leader has. Additionally, the transformational leader is called on to support and facilitate others in the process of change.

At the core each transformational leader must commit to personal development. A leader’s ability to see how they examine their own beliefs, cultivate positive and effective communication, respond productively to stress, and contribute to effective team functioning are key to their credibility with others. Transformational leaders pursue personal awareness through reflection, planning, and action. They are aware of their own interpersonal strengths and weaknesses and use that awareness to build positive relationships. Transformational leaders take action in their lives to maintain a healthy body and spirit. This is hard work, especially in the context of the practical realities of leading change.

One tool that Move the Mountain offers to assist leaders in this process is a leadership evaluation. Leadership evaluations consist of the administration of two psychological tests and a leadership interview. The results of these three pieces are then articulated in a comprehensive report. This report provides the leader with direct, honest feedback that helps them identify how their behavior affects the systems in which they operate. This evaluation can be used as one tool for on-going coaching. Objective, confidential consultation to identify ways of responding productively to difficult situations such as: navigating operational transitions, responding to difficult personnel issues, and maintaining effective communication.
