We make the intangibles of talent assessment tangible while accelerating talent development.
What if we assessed talent based on future potential as well as prior performance?
True talent does not necessarily equate to skill, track record, or experience.
We believe that while skills can be acquired, talent is the true predictor of success. That’s why we focus on identifying the markers of talent potential — like intellectual adaptability, intrinsic motivation, and social awareness. These are the qualities that distinguish true talent in the long term. Our proprietary talent indicators help you spot the talent to lead your organization forward.
Most organizations tend to over-index on resumes, skills, and pedigree without truly understanding a leader’s long-term potential to succeed. This leads to biases that undermine diversity and erode the possibility of selecting the best. The fundamental difference between a highly effective, engaged culture and one that struggles with attrition or underperformance is the ability to spot talent, not just skill.
We appreciate the comprehensive and hands-on approach CRA | Admired Leadership took in assessing our key executive leaders. We now have a credible and effective picture from which we can launch targeted development to further strengthen their leadership capabilities and build a robust pipeline for succession planning.

We accelerate talent development through assessment and qualitative review.
True self-awareness is understanding the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you. All talent needs feedback, and we all operate within certain bubbles. Seeing beyond our immediate context can be hard. A trusted resource with deep experience who can aptly gather and carry the unvarnished truth is of tremendous value to leaders vulnerable enough to admit they can always get better.
Our executive coaches understand the complexity and delicacy of this work. Through qualitative reviews and in-depth profiling, we gather, interpret, and distinguish actionable feedback for our clients.
