What to Expect
Your unique Fingerprint will guide every decision you make and help you manage every leadership challenge with clarity and resolve.
This individualized AI-driven experience is an interactive assessment designed to help you reflect on your unique story and reveal the values that have driven your best decisions.
Honest Reflection
Set aside at least 45 minutes in a quiet space where you can reflect. The Digital Leadership Fingerprint asks nine open-ended questions about your experiences, challenges, and defining moments.
Personalized Insights
Taking your leadership to the next level begins with learning how to lead yourself. Your responses are analyzed through Lapin’s proprietary framework to uncover your beliefs, value-drivers, and behavioral patterns.
Values in Action
You’ll receive a personalized report revealing what drives your decisions and how you show up under pressure. From there, our coaches can provide actionable guidance to assist you in finding your greatness as a leader.
Leadership For Every Level
Lead with your values at every layer of business. We help individuals, teams, and organizations align around your beliefs, practice courageous conversation, and translate intent into disciplined execution.
Individuals
Highlight your self-awareness and turn pressure into principled action by revealing your core value-drivers, philosophy and behavior patterns. Build the habits of effective leadership so your impact grows beyond your role and adheres to your values.
Teams
Transform a group of talented contributors into a truly aligned and connected team. Using your beliefs and behavioral insight, we establish a shared language of values, enabling faster decisions and eliminating misunderstanding, turning strategy into results.
Organizations
Shape your company’s culture by design—not by default. Economical and easy to deploy across your company, the results reveal the core beliefs and values that form your organization’s leadership style and guide decision-making so your teams and talent scale together.
One of the most important distinguishing characteristics of a great leader is humility. And humility is what you need to be able to learn from people who are below you.
