Why Our Approach Works
Leadership Assessments
Our coaching approach combines real-world leadership experience with internationally recognized assessment tools, delivering structured, results-driven leadership development plans.
Two core science-backed leadership assessments and tools anchor our work and can be used across various industries.
A research-backed 360° assessment that links leadership behavior to impact. It measures both creative competencies (like systems thinking, authenticity, and purpose) and reactive tendencies (like control, compliance, and distance), offering a comprehensive view of how you show up as a leader. The Leadership Circle Profile® (LCP) allows you to answer the question: How are my behaviors and mindset enabling or constraining my intended leadership impact and our business performance?
Used by over 500,000 leaders globally, the LCP provides clear, actionable insight—helping you shift unproductive patterns, align behavior with values, and strengthen overall leadership effectiveness.
The Leadership Circle Profile®
The Leadership Circle Profile accurately measures skills in high achievement leadership that correlate strongly to output.
- Sales/revenue growth
- Market share
- Profitability (i.e. Return on Investment/Return on Assets)
- Quality of products and services
- Innovation: new product/service development
- Overall Team and Individual Performance

Genos Emotional Intelligence®:
A globally validated 180° or 360° assessment that measures how effectively you demonstrate emotionally intelligent workplace behaviors—such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation.
The Genos model focuses on observable behaviors and how they influence others’ perceptions of your leadership. It’s designed to boost performance, well-being, and culture in fast-paced, people-centered environments.
At Upwyse, we deploy this robust, multi-rater emotional intelligence tool designed for real-world leadership. Participants receive a holistic view of their EI through self, peer, manager, and direct report feedback, benchmarked against internal and global leader norms. Each report includes clear development gaps and an accompanying workbook filled with grounded, practical strategies.
- Workplace-centric EI model with six competencies
- Action-oriented feedback via gap scores + written insights
- Companion workbook for behavior-focused development
- Interactive, digital reporting with peer-reviewed credibility
A few key highlights
Unlike traditional emotional intelligence tests that measure traits or abstract abilities, the Genos EQ 360/180 Assessment measures how emotionally intelligent behavior is actually demonstrated in the workplace — as seen by colleagues, leaders, and team members.
What Makes Genos EQ Different from Other Assessments
Do you stay composed under pressure?
Do you inspire and positively influence others?
Do you respond thoughtfully to challenges?
Where others assess what you know or how you see yourself, Genos reveals how you show up:
It’s not just a score — it’s a mirror of your impact at work, backed by real-time feedback and built for leadership growth, culture transformation, and measurable performance improvement.
