Today’s leaders face a tough challenge — where should they focus their time and energy? Productivity, collaboration, innovation, empathy, engagement? Trying to prioritize every leadership principle at once overwhelms us and diminishes our impact. So, what truly drives meaningful results?

In studying the neuroscience of quality leadership, NLI has identified the three most essential priorities: growth mindset, psychological safety, and accountability — or what we call the leadership GPA. Practiced correctly, these three factors create a culture where people are constantly learning, improving, taking calculated risks, engaging, and getting things done.

How does your organization measure up? Take our brand-new leadership GPA quiz. In just five minutes, leaders and employees can gauge their organization’s leadership GPA on a 4.0 scale, based on how well these core habits are practiced. To dive deeper, join NLI’s webinar series exploring each leadership GPA component. If you missed “Leadership GPA: A Focus on Growth Mindset,” you can watch the recording here. Then, register to join us live for “Leadership GPA: Fostering Psychological Safety” on May 28 and “Leadership GPA: Creating Accountability” on June 5.
