So, pull up a chair, call a friend, and take a listen.

In our last episode, we unpacked the first three gaps of leadership assessments models and addressed how companies can get the optimal outcomes using these leadership tools. Harvard Business Review (HBR) asserts that leadership tools must be scientifically validated for psychometric reliability and predictive validity to avoid all forms of bias and inaccurate use, especially for recruitment. In this episode of Points of Leadership, we dive into three more gaps, first exploring why scientific validation is necessary for leadership assessment tools. According to the Harvard Business Review effective assessments should move beyond face validity to measure specific, evidence-based dimensions, including foundational traits, growth agility, and career competencies.

Secondly, we provide some insights on why it is necessary for leadership assessment models and tools to be universally valued to avoid misinterpretation, abuse or confusion and models. Harvard Business Review analysis indicates that traditional leadership assessment models and tools were designed and implemented in a Western, corporate or individualistic context. When these leadership assessments are used outside of a Western context, the content, or knowledge of the assessment model require adaptation in the context of that culture at hand for it to be globally functional. It is important that any assessment tool meet and address different cultural contexts to provide the element of standardization.

Lastly, we address role oversimplification of some leadership assessment tools. Any grassroot leader understands that real work is messy and requires that people shift gears constantly. For example, a business leader might need to inspire employees, manage budgets, and collaborate with partners all in the same week or day. This means growth is inevitable and some of the leadership assessment tools create a fixed identity around something that might be fluid.

As always, the leadership principles we share here on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these additional three leadership assessments gaps. We appreciate all the feedback.

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

Leadership sustainability is something that most Fortune 500 companies keep center focus on for long lasting impact of their services, products and customers. For example, Apple Inc has consistently ranked in the top 20 of the Fortune Global 500 list since 2013. This type of consistent impact is built and sustained through a corporate lens of excellence that trickles down to every aspect of the company and its culture.

In a 2023 Forbes article by former Forbes Council member Frayda Leibtag, one of the factors that contribute to an impactful sustainability is the power of celebrating success in the workplace. Leibtag states that while it's possible to navigate the workplace without mastering the art of sharing success, excelling in today's professional landscape and creating a positive work culture requires more than just participation; it demands being proactive about how companies communicate their own performance. The article further states that one of the most significant benefits of sharing success is cultivating a culture of celebration. Celebrating success in a company or team is a powerful way to bond, foster a sense of community and ensure fellow employees can feel the appreciation.

In this invigorating episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck explore and discuss the value of prioritizing celebration as a leader for the benefit of the team, organization or company. They discuss some of the visible benefits of making celebration a viable culture that brings many inter-related returns. Such as boosting team morale, building a culture that attracts high performing team, and setting a positive tone of appreciation.

Lastly, they discuss the underlying psychological impact of leading for sustainability and the power of celebrating success in the workplace. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

The best companies and organizations work diligently to retain their effective team members. This is because of the high cost of turnover. In its 2025 article about cost of turnover, High 5 Test, states that replacing a leader in a company can cost up to 200% of their salary. For technical roles that is 80% of salary and frontline roles, that cost is 40% of salary. These data emphasize the high importance of return on investment of aligning people’s genius with job related roles.

Michelin is a company that understands this high importance of return on investment of aligning their employees’ genius with their roles. In a case study conducted by Havard Business Review since 2012, Michelin implemented an empowerment approach by tapping into a vast reservoir of human ingenuity of their employees, delivering over $500 million in manufacturing improvements by 2020. The article calls for organizations to create work environments where all employees can contribute meaningfully.
