We assess senior leaders with structure and rigor—measuring capability, judgment, and fit against the specific demands of the role and the organization they will lead.
What We Do
Leadership Assessment at Hartwell & Co. brings structure and discipline to the evaluation of senior leaders. Whether engaged for an internal candidate, a finalist in an external search, or a broader review of the leadership team, our work helps boards and executives make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
Our assessments are grounded in the most precise psychometric instruments available—validated at a 95% accuracy rate and trusted by every Fortune 500 company. The result is a level of insight that allows boards and executives to act on appointments, succession, and development with genuine confidence.
Our Assessment Methodology
Each assessment is built around the role itself—its strategic context, the leadership profile it requires, and the conditions in which the leader will need to operate. We combine in-depth interviews, formal psychometric evaluation, and structured reference work to produce a complete and unbiased view of capability, judgment, and leadership impact.
