A Leadership Growth System that Actually Improves Bottom-Line Results

The Leadership Growth Profile is not a typical 360. It’s a behavioural growth system that supports leaders to improve behaviours that determine how well an organisation performs, innovates, and creates a healthy workplace culture. 

Unlike traditional assessments, it doesn’t stop at surface level feedback.

It helps leaders see the patterns that quietly undermine their effectiveness under pressure, and identify the specific leadership practices that will make the biggest difference right now.

It connects assessment to development, behaviour to business results, and leadership growth to what your organisation actually needs.

“The Leadership Growth Profile is the most insightful and in-depth leadership assessment we have experienced. It has provided an extraordinary level of clarity for our senior leaders. We’re investing in certification for our HR teams so that we can provide expertise and access to the assessments even deeper into the org.”

How the Leadership Growth Profile Works

The Leadership Growth Profile’s development system is built on 4 core pillars:

Pillar #1: The Triple Goal As the Ultimate Measure of Leadership

Great leadership drives three essential outcomes—what we call the “Triple Goal“:

    1. Great Performance: Clear direction, disciplined execution, and sustainable results.
    2. Great Learning: Continuous improvement and innovation.
    3. Great Workplace: High engagement, inclusion, trust, and wellbeing.

The Triple Goal is more than a philosophy. It’s a measurable framework, and the core of how the Leadership Growth Profile diagnoses, develops, and tracks leadership growth.

The Leadership Growth Profile measures how a leader is actually tracking against these three key outcomes, as seen through the eyes of their key stakeholders.

It reveals how others perceive a leader’s impact—making the link between behaviour and results unmistakably clear.

This enables leaders to improve not just for the sake of change, but with a specific purpose: to measurably lift the outcomes that define leadership and organisational success.

Pillar #2: Behaviour Drives Outcomes

The Leadership Growth Profile helps leaders understand and measure two critical behavioural sets:

  1. Those that consistently drive great outcomes.
  2. Those that tend to undermine them under pressure.

The Green Zone

The Green Zone represents intentional, values-aligned behaviours proven to deliver strong results in performance, learning, and workplace culture.

These leadership practices are organised into three key domains:

  • Align: Building shared purpose and trust through clarity of values and direction.
  • Achieve: Delivering outcomes through clear standards, accountability, and encouragement.
  • Grow: Cultivating learning, adaptability, and capability in individuals and teams.

The Green Zone highlights where a leader’s strengths are already working—and where further development will most improve their impact.

The Red Zone

The Red Zone reveals reactive, stress-driven patterns that emerge under pressure and sabotage leadership effectiveness.

These behaviours are grouped into three common reactivity themes:

  • Approval: People-pleasing, passivity, or self-promotion driven by a need to be liked.
  • Autonomy: Forcefulness, perfectionism, or criticism driven by a need for control.
  • Security: Caution, defensiveness, or withdrawal driven by a need for safety.

When made visible, these patterns lose their grip. Leaders can begin to work with them consciously—rather than being unconsciously run by them.

Self-Regulation: The Centre of the Model

At the heart of the LGP is Self-Regulation: the ability to manage attention, emotion, and action—especially under pressure.

This core capacity enables leaders to notice early signs of Red Zone reactivity and return to intentional, Green Zone leadership in real time.

“Over the last 20 years, I’ve undertaken numerous leadership programs, yet none have had the enduring personal and commercial impact of the TripleGoal Leadership Growth Profile and its integrated development process for individuals and teams. The depth of the work created unprecedented levels of honesty and trust, translating directly into stronger, more sustainable business performance.”

Pillar #3: Transform the Drivers of Behaviour

Behaviour is always driven by deeper forces: unconscious mindsets, emotional patterns, internalised beliefs, and systemic norms.

The Growth Matrix™ is TripleGoal’s proprietary framework for uncovering these drivers and enabling meaningful transformation. It provides a clear and practical pathway from insight to action.

Pillar #4: Practice Makes Perfect

The TripleGoal Pulse Survey tool is designed to ensure that leadership development translates into sustained behavioural change and measurable outcomes.

Following an LGP debrief, the Pulse tool helps leaders and organisations stay accountable to their chosen growth commitments. It gathers regular feedback from key stakeholders on the specific behaviours leaders are working to improve.

Through live dashboards and simple, high-frequency check-ins, leaders track progress in real time, receive encouragement, and course-correct where needed.

Organisations gain visibility into behavioural trends, cultural shifts, and leadership impact. This helps them invest in development that delivers.

This creates a powerful feedback loop:

  1. The Leadership Growth Profile reveals the key growth opportunity.
  2. The Matrix unpacks and transforms its drivers.
  3. The Pulse tool ensures it sticks.

This makes the whole process coherent, measurable, and worthwhile.

“Looking inward and assessing how I measured up against credible leadership behaviours was an eye-opening experience. The TripleGoal program provides a structured path with simple, practical strategies that make a real difference back in the workplace.”

How the Leadership Growth Profile Impacts Leaders

Who the Leadership Growth Profile Is For

The Leadership Growth Profile is designed for organisations and leaders who see leadership as a critical driver of performance, learning, and culture—not as a matter of personal style or preference.

leadership growth profile

Leaders Ready to Grow

The Leadership Growth Profile is for leaders who are willing to look honestly at how their behaviour affects others and outcomes, especially when the stakes are high.

Organisations and Leadership Teams

The Leadership Growth Profile is particularly well suited to organisations operating in complexity, uncertainty, or sustained pressure, where leadership behaviour has a direct and visible impact on results and culture.

HR and Organisational Development Leaders

For HR and OD leaders, the Leadership Growth Profile offers a defensible, research-based tool that integrates easily into broader leadership and culture strategies.

This makes it easier to link leadership development to both people outcomes and business accountability.

Executive Coaches and Facilitators

For coaches and facilitators, the Leadership Growth Profile provides a behaviourally grounded framework that brings focus and depth to development work.

It enables conversations to move quickly beyond general feedback into specific, observable patterns of behaviour, including those that emerge under pressure.

The Research Foundation Behind the Leadership Growth Profile

The Leadership Growth Profile is built on 30 years of leadership research and behavioural science, and refined through extensive real-world use.

Grounded in Behavioural Leadership Research

The Leadership Growth Profile is based on the world’s most comprehensive leadership research that links observable behaviour to performance, innovation and engagement.

Informed by Neuroscience and Adult Development

The profile draws on neuroscience, adult development and immunity to change research to explain why leadership behaviour often shifts under pressure.

Validated Through Real-World Application

The Leadership Growth Profile has been used across industries, cultures, continents and leadership levels, and is informed by a large and growing global database of leaders.
