“As an organizational behavioral analyst, I partner with my clients to identify behaviors that are helping or hindering the business in achieving their desired goals, culture, and leadership practices. Since beginning to use the OLA seven years ago, I am able to assess my clients’ corporate health providing a comprehensive view of their culture. By starting a client engagement with the completion of the OLA, I am able to pinpoint specific areas of the organization that may require more intensive examination through observations, focus groups, or interviews to assess organizational behaviors and provide a complete view of the company’s needs. ”

As consultants and leadership coaches we are always looking for ways to accurately and meaningfully assess the organizations and leaders we serve.
The Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) is designed to provide an overview of an organization’s health along with how its leadership as a whole is perceived by the workforce. This provides a snapshot of where an organization is along with a dynamic framework for moving forward to greater organizational health.
The OLA was developed in 1999 by Dr. Jim Laub from a research-based model of servant leadership (include the 6-part Healthy Organizations model here) that provides the basis for helping an organization to better value and develop its workers, build a sense of community, provide and share leadership and display authenticity.
The OLA is not used to assess a single leader, but provides a view of the total organization and the leadership as a whole.
Please review The OLA Assessment page to see the benefits of using the OLA in an organization.
The OLA report provides you with a wealth of information about the organization’s health and provides you, as a consultant, with direct insight into issues and concerns that need to be addressed. [Click here to view a sample OLA report]
As a consultant, the OLA is provided at no cost to you while you maintain all direct contact with your clients. We provide the OLA to you and you provide it to your client. You charge them the cost of the OLA, or build it into your consulting project agreement, and you pay us only for the organization’s cost for the OLA.
