When you measure only output,
you miss insight.
Traditional indices reduce leaders to numbers. But decisions, culture, courage — those aren't reflected on balance sheets.
The Three Pillars of Leadership Intelligence
Unlike traditional metrics, the TJI measures what actually drives breakthrough decisions and adaptive leadership.
Cognitive Diversity
"Different minds solve novel problems"
How varied are the thinking patterns, backgrounds, and mental models across your leadership team?
Temperament Mix
"Balance calm & drive"
What's the balance of personalities, risk appetites, and decision-making styles?
Policy Courage
"Lead when it matters most"
How willing is leadership to make difficult decisions and challenge conventional wisdom?
