Do Leadership Assessments Actually Help? | Kristina Schmitt Development
1w ago00:21:11Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhy do leaders keep getting asked to take personality and leadership assessments?In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, Kristina Schmitt explains why tools like Working Genius, StrengthsFinder, and MBTI can help leaders improve self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and team performance.Many business owners and managers feel skeptical about leadership assessments—especially when they feel repetitive or unnecessary. But the real value of these tools is not labeling people. It’s helping leaders recognize the patterns shaping how they think, react, communicate, and lead under pressure.In this episode, Kristina shares:- Why leadership assessments matter- How self-awareness improves leadership effectiveness- Why some tasks drain you while others energize you- How to build systems around your natural strengths- Why understanding yourself helps you build stronger teams- How emotional intelligence impacts culture and leadershipThis conversation is especially helpful for business owners, manufacturing leaders, managers, and values-driven leaders who want practical leadership growth—not just theory.If you’ve ever wondered why you respond differently under stress, struggle with certain leadership tasks, or feel frustrated by personality assessments, this episode will help you understand the purpose behind them and how to apply the insights well.Subscribe to the Business Building Blocks Podcast for practical leadership conversations focused on people management, organizational health, leadership mindset, and business growth.Watch or Listen:Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SYkIeW3k8kQDirect Download: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2256331/episodes/19169563-do-leadership-assessments-actually-help-kristina-schmitt-development.mp3?download=trueStay Connected with Kristina:https://www.youtube.com/@KristinaSchmittDevelopmentWebsite: https://www.kristinaschmitt.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinaschmitt.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-schmitt-development/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinashmittdevelopment/#KristinaSchmittDevelopment #BusinessBuildingBlocksPodcast #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipMindset #SelfAwareness #WorkingGenius #StrengthsFinder #MBTI #LeadershipCoaching #PeopleLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence #TeamDevelopment #BusinessLeadership #OrganizationalHealth #LeadershipGrowth ✨ Introducing Smooth Start: The New Hire Success Kit A simple, proven framework to help leaders bring new hires up to speed in 90 days without adding more work to your calendar. 👉 Get the Smooth Start Kit — Only $97📅 Ready to talk about how to build that kind of culture in your team or family?
