What it gives a leader
-
Whole-person view for authentic leadership
Lumina Spark shows a leader’s behavior through three lenses: the underlying persona, meaning core values and motivations; the everyday persona, the typical, observable behaviors; and the overextended persona, the traits that show under stress or pressure.
-
Enhanced self-awareness and adaptability
The assessment generates a unique profile for each leader, showing their strengths, their blind spots and their potential areas for growth.
-
Improved interpersonal skills and communication
Lumina Spark measures traits rather than sorting people into types, which encourages a leader to see themselves as a complex, adaptable individual who can engage diverse perspectives.
-
Guidance on managing stress and avoiding burnout
The overextended view helps a leader recognize when a strength is overused under stress and turns into a weakness, as when confidence becomes overconfidence.
-
Building a pathway for targeted development
The insights guide a leader in creating a targeted growth plan, one that addresses the areas where they seek improvement while building on their core strengths.
Lumina Spark lets a leader deepen their self-awareness, improve their adaptability and refine their interpersonal skills: the qualities that drive success and inspire a team, and the reason it is a critical asset for leadership development.
