Redefining Leadership Excellence
Leadership is a privilege and it’s also a challenge. The real measure of a leader isn’t found in performance reviews or executive endorsements. It’s felt in the energy of their teams, the trust they build, and the impact they deliver. Yet almost all leadership assessments today miss the mark. They rely on narrow, top down views that overlook the only perspective that truly matters: how leaders are experienced by the people they lead. The question isn’t “How well do you lead?” It’s would your team "choose to work and be led by you again?”
The KINDset KQ® introduces a new lens. It’s more than a leadership framework. It’s a real‑world mirror that reveals how leadership is actually experienced. No maybes, no gloss. Just a clear, accurate picture of how leaders show up. It brings seven essential traits into focus, each one critical for cultures that deliver high performance, innovation, and sustained commercial results. Most importantly, the KINDset KQ® is built for organisations ready to shape leadership that delivers today and defines tomorrow
Maybe it's time to look at leadership the way your balance sheet feels it. High‑performing leaders don’t rely on perception they almost certianly lead with Kindness, measure their impact and convert it into ROI.
KINDset KQ®
KINDset KQ® is our globally researched Leadership Profile & Development framework. This comprehensive 360-degree tool provides actionable insights and feedback on a leader's proficiency in seven vital traits: Trust, Credibility, and Purpose. Trust flourishes when leaders exhibit Dignity and Gratitude, while Credibility is strengthened through Adaptability and Stewardship.
KINDset KQ® offers versatile applications, supporting managers, leaders, teams, and boards alike. We can include longitudinal assessments that help you track progress because they repetitively measure the same traits, characteristics, or success factors to clearly show changes, progress, or trends in a leader, team, or organisation. We also have the capability so that you can ask a key Net Promoter type question which then provides a clear ranking of leadership performance as rated by their peers. KINDset KQ® integrates effortlessly with existing psychometric and development tools, enriching leadership development strategies and driving impactful results.
Please refer to the KINDset KQ® framework below for details. Please also see the 'latest' tab for the next certfication dates too or book a free 30-minute call via our contact page or contact form. We’ll be in touch!
The Global Kindness Institute focuses on working with leaders to build kindness as a capability that creates strategic advantage because when trust is high, performance follows. Why? Because teams communicate more openly, take greater ownership, and perform at a higher level.

The KQ framework is grounded in three leadership pillars: Trust, Purpose, and Credibility. When leaders strengthen these, kindness becomes more than an intention; it becomes a powerful force for stronger teams and healthier cultures.

I can say from personal experience that the KINDset KQ assessment is enlightening in ways that reach beyond the kinds of things I’ve learned about myself and my teams with other assessments.
Eric
I have found the KQ to be an amazing insight into how my team and those around me perceive me. The assessment data is presented in such an actionable way that I've been able to make impactful changes almost immediately and have seen the positive results already.
