5 Tool LeadershipFive Tool Player (n.) – a baseball player who excels at hitting for power, hitting for average, base-running skills, throwing ability, and fielding abilities.

Five Tool Leader (n.) – a leader possessed of exceptional intelligence, emotional intelligence, technical skills, leadership abilities, and organizational fit.

Let’s face it; the days of the one-dimensional leader are over. Well-led organizations understand that a true leader is much more than a brain in a jar or a charismatic individual. Deep leadership results from a confluence of talents including intellectual horsepower, well-developed people skills, technical expertise, and the ability to lead others.

By providing, measurable, objective data on each of the Five Tools and comparing these gifts to the organizational culture in question, we are able to train, select, and develop talent that perfectly meets your unique business needs. Crosby Performance Consulting invites you to consider each of the Five Tools below and ask yourself where your business could be with more Five Tool Leaders on your team!

Intelligence Research has borne out time and again that general intelligence is the variable that best predicts job success. What’s more, college degrees have been shown to be poor

predictors of general intelligence. Don’t leave the best predictor of performance to guesswork-have your leaders formally assessed for verbal, quantitative, and creative intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) EI is the ability to know oneself, understand the motivations of others, and be resilient to stress. A Harvard study that analyzed data

from 40 organizations found that emotional competencies were twice as important as expertise in contributing to excellent performance. Emotionally intelligent individuals are able to effectively motivate others and skilled at bouncing back from the setbacks that are an inevitable part of any leader’s life.

Technical Skill It goes without saying that technical skill and experience are a critical part of success in any job. Unfortunately, most organizations measure ability to talk about technical skill

rather than the ability to demonstrate technical know-how. Stop measuring talking and start measuring doing by utilizing the Five Tool Leadership ™ assessment.

Leadership Perhaps no word is more thrown about or more poorly understood than “leadership.” Too often, what passes for leadership is little

more than a handful of positive aspirational adjectives, with no real unifying theme or basis in research. Steeped in research that is proven to drive bottom-line improvement, the Five Tool Leader ™ model measures leadership relative to a formula proven to drive financial success.

Organizational Fit Goodness of fit between an employee and an organization has been shown to predict job satisfaction, turnover, and engagement, all of

which have powerful dollars and cents implication for your business. While most organizations are aware of the importance of fit, few do anything to formally assess fit in any meaningful way. The Five Tool Leader ™ assessment provides graphical and quantitative information that provides absolute clarity as to the fit between a leader and your unique culture.

Whether you are recruiting, transitioning, or developing talent, do not rely on one-dimensional metrics that give you a piece of the truth. Five Tool Leaders, the transformational powers behind the world’s greatest brands, are multi-dimensional and require a process that recognizes and honors that complexity.
