Leadership Risk
The Leadership Risk report helps you identify a leader’s unique risk areas. Development tips are provided on how to mitigate their repercussions on the individual, organization and culture.
Generated from our Wave® Professional Styles personality questionnaire, the report enhances self-awareness and drives powerful leadership development.

The Leadership Risk model identifies 9 key risk areas

Procedural
Follows the rules rigorously and is cautious about making decisions which could result in missed opportunities.
Critical
Looks to spot potential problems which could be perceived as negative and may discourage important contributions.
People Risk
Obliging
Favors accommodating the wishes of others, which may result in agreeing to actions not in the organization’s best interest.
Autonomous
Works individually and is unlikely to consult with others, which could lead to actions which take little account of other parts of the organization.
Expressive
Prefers to interact regularly and prone to being socially dominant, which may result in other people’s views being overshadowed.
Pioneering Risk
Disruptive
Comes up with alternative ideas and seeks to do things differently, which could disrupt productivity.
Daring
Prefers to seek new opportunities and push boundaries, which may lead to unnecessary risk.
