The Leadership Development Profile including the Evolutionary Leadership Profile
th
Aubyn Howard and Associates Limited, 16 March 2015
The Leadership Development Profile is part of a flexible profiling service for supporting leaders and teams in
their development and provides a diagnostic starting point for leadership coaching. The service can also be used
to support the selection process for executive positions involving internal or external candidates.
There are many different approaches to
leadership profiling. Each tool can only offer a
limited perspective on what is a very complex
matter – the way that human beings behave. We
therefore combine outputs from three different
types of tool to provide a more balanced
perspective on an individual and how they fit
within a team or an organisation. The three
approaches we draw upon are: (i) Personality
Types, (ii) Work and Relational Styles and (iii)
Leadership Styles and Developmental Stages.
The Leadership Development Profile includes
(i) a simple version of Jungian Personality Type
Profiling to provide insights into the core
personality; (ii) Belbin Team Roles, as our central tool for understanding how people work and how they relate
to others in a team; and (iii) our own Evolutionary Leadership Profile to provide a vertical perspective on an
individual’s development in terms of their leadership style and paradigm (following Frederic Laloux’s
developmental model in ‘Reinventing organizations’).

include reflecting upon additional
inputs and preparing a personal
development plan, with suggested
pathways in terms of horizontal,
vertical and inner development. This
process can be tailored to suit your

practices.

Definitions of leadership styles
Benevolent – they lead as the guardian of a community. They tell stories, maintain traditions, honour rituals and seek to preserve the
wisdom of the past.
Autocratic – they lead decisively and from the front, they are in charge. They control power and reward loyalty in relationships. Their way is
the right way.
Hierarchical – they lead by passing judgement according to a system of well defined roles and responsibilities. They follow the established
right way to do things.
Enterprising – they lead by example and by creating opportunities for the team to succeed. They are driven to achieve goals. They
constantly look for better ways to do things.
Social – they lead by building consensus and providing opportunities for people to grow and develop. They know there is no universally right
ways to do things.
Integrative – they lead by responding to situations in whatever style is needed, seeking to create synergy within the wider system. The right
way is the way that works.
Holistic – they lead by guiding others to be leaders and by creating the context for growth within a healthy system. They are constantly
evolving a new way or path.
