The NeuroAdaptive Leadership Index (NLI) scores your readiness to lead under pressure across the 5 science-backed dimensions of ADAPT model.
Each dimension maps to a different brain system that drives how leaders perform when stakes are high. Your NLI tells you which ones are working for you, and which to strengthen first.
How well your prefrontal cortex holds the signal when noise spikes — your ability to think clearly when others can't.
The grounded steadiness that lets you make and own a call. Tracks reactivity, second-guessing, and threat sensitivity.
How quickly you move from input to decision to action. Where reward circuitry helps — and where it hijacks you.
Your ability to notice and shift your state in real time, before pressure leaks into your words and choices.
How well you reframe, recover, and re-engage when the plan changes. The core NeuroAdaptive muscle.
How the brains around you respond to yours. Measures the signals you send your team — intended or not.
36 research-validated items. No trick questions. Built to be honest with yourself, fast.
Overall score plus six dimension scores, normed against 10,000+ leaders. With plain-language interpretation.
A personalized starting plan — three small moves a week — targeting your two lowest dimensions first.
The NLI was developed across three studies with mid- and senior-level leaders in healthcare, technology, financial services, and the public sector. It's been validated against established measures of executive function, decision quality, and team performance — and refined for the leader who has 12 minutes, not 12 hours.
Three published validation studies, n > 3,400.
Your results are private to you. Always.
Zero jargon. Every score has a "so what."
Every report ends with a 30-day plan.
