CharacterGPS®
Because leading through disruption demands more than strategy—it demands character
Overview
CharacterGPS® is a structured reflection tool that helps leaders examine the traits that influence how they lead. It provides a practical way to understand what shapes presence, decision-making, and interaction in complex environments.
This tool is designed to support leaders who are looking for steady insight into how their internal traits connect to their external influence. It focuses on visibility, alignment, and actionable self-awareness.
What CharacterGPS® Measures
CharacterGPS® focuses on seven core traits that often define leadership tone and posture:
Authenticity
staying aligned with your beliefs and values
Purpose
clarity around direction and focus
Courage
ability to move through resistance or fear
Resilience
steadiness in the face of challenges
Kindness
responsiveness to others with intention and care
Humility
openness to feedback and shared space
Gratitude
recognition of support, contribution, and context
Each trait is assessed through two dimensions:
- Presence – how firmly the trait is held internally
- Movement – how consistently it shows up in behavior
Instead of static scores, CharacterGPS® maps each trait into a flow state. These flow states offer a snapshot of where the leader currently stands.
Who It’s For
CharacterGPS® is a fit for individuals, teams, and organizations seeking to:
- Reflect on how leadership traits are showing up in real settings
- Identify traits that support or block effective leadership
- Integrate values into strategy and culture
- Create time for thoughtful internal work during change
The assessment is often used in coaching, team retreats, leadership development programs, and personal growth work. It can stand alone or be integrated into broader development strategies.
