LeaderDNA Team Effectiveness Assessment™ (LTEA™)

How effective is your team , actually?

A team-level diagnostic that measures how a team performs together across trust, communication, accountability, alignment, and results. Every member takes the same fifty-item scan; results are aggregated for a team-wide picture, not a personal one.

Every Culture Pulse report ships with intervention playbooks matched to the team's weakest drivers and the severity of the finding. Eighteen playbooks in the library — six drivers × three severity bands (Strained, At Risk, Critical). Each one is timeboxed and specific:

  • Diagnosis in plain language
  • First-week / 30 / 60 / 90-day plays
  • 1:1 conversation starters
  • Metrics the manager watches
  • Common mistakes to avoid
  • Escalation triggers on critical bands

Two Frameworks. One Ecosystem.

How LEPA™ differs from the Leadership Development Framework

The Leadership Development Framework grows individual leaders. The Organizational Effectiveness Framework — anchored by LEPA™ — measures how leadership is shaping the health of the whole organization.

Leadership Development Framework™

How do we identify, develop, and sustain leaders?

Focus
The individual leader
Audience
Emerging leaders, managers, executives in development
Lens
Personal growth, readiness, derailment risk
Includes
Leadership Potential™, Readiness™, Team Effectiveness™, Derailers™, LEPA™
Answer it gives
Where is this leader strong, stretched, and at risk?
Explore the Leadership Suite →
Organizational Effectiveness Framework™

How healthy and effective is our organization?

Focus
The whole organization
Audience
CEOs, boards, executive teams, HR leaders
Lens
Leadership impact, engagement, team health, results
Includes
LEPA™, Employee Engagement™, Team Effectiveness™, Organizational Health Package™
Answer it gives

LEPA™ appears in both frameworks on purpose. In the Leadership Development Framework it measures the executive. In the Organizational Effectiveness Framework it measures how that executive's leadership is shaping the organization.
