By leveraging the results of Plum’s single assessment, organizations can instantly measure leadership potential in every employee, ensuring each member of the workforce is equitably considered for their aptitude. Plum Leadership Potential also ensures companies are using objective criteria to strip away bias and build more diverse leadership pipelines. By objectively surfacing employees with leadership potential—regardless of race, gender and background—organizations can engage, develop and retain future leaders who will be critical to their organization’s future success.

Why we like it: Plum has created an impressive solution that could help an organization grow and develop its leaders internally. Powered by its custom-made predictive science, Plum Leadership Potential helps firms objectively identify employees with leadership potential earlier in their careers by assessing every employee across the workforce. Why? So, that no future leaders are overlooked. The solution looks at employees’ learning agility, presence, drive, empowerment, self-confidence and composure to determine their potential. We liked Plum’s self-evaluation tools so much that we wanted to take the test ourselves.
