The Higher Levels of Leadership Indicator (HLLI), developed by the Leadership Center and Sequent Inc., has now been taken by nearly 500 people to date.

Like any assessment tool, the greatest potential for the HLLI may be to open a dialogue within an organization, communicating what leadership is expected and valued. Once that is determined, a company will be able to use the HLLI in selecting individuals with the highest potential to benefit from its leadership development efforts, or even as part of the overall selection process for positions requiring leadership. If properly used, we believe the HLLI can help to reduce leadership failure, prepare better leaders, and ultimately provide the broad experiences needed by CEOs and all leaders.

Franklin University's Leadership Center and Sequent, Inc. are proud to bring this powerful assessment tool to organizations and individuals. As more data is collected and information gathered, we will share our findings with those interested in following the progress of the HLLI. To be on our contact list as we release new findings, or to use the HLLI tool for your own organization's needs call 614.947.6888 or email leader@franklin.edu.

Many leadership development programs are no more than a series of unrelated events, often led by outside trainers who have little or no understanding of each organization's unique needs. These events can be extremely costly in terms of fees and time spent by participants. We offer a better way.
