The Diamond
Power Index®

Are You Making
The Impact You Want
to Make?

The Diamond Power Index® (DPI) leadership assessment measures leadership efficacy using the framework of Power Intelligence®.

It is the only leadership assessment that looks specifically at the effective use of power—personal power and positional power—shining a light on the critical link between use of power and its impact on organizational outcomes and culture.

The DPI measures two facets of power—the leader’s assessment of their personal power and others’ assessment of their use of power along seven unique power competencies. The Power Profile® report integrates results into a comprehensive roadmap for development, with actionable insights and suggestions for improvement.

Here is what some of our users have to say:

“We have found the DPI a really valuable tool in holding deep and pragmatic coaching conversations that help illuminate blind spots and explore topics that may otherwise stay in the ‘too hard basket’ around how we lead.”

“The Diamond Power Index is a unique assessment tool for management development. The comprehensive report detailing the results provides an educational roadmap for not only awareness, but levers to impact successful interactions and relationships.”

“I’ve used many tools over my 20 years of consulting. The Diamond Power Index stands apart from the rest. Because it combines feedback from others across 7 unique power competencies with self-assessment on Personal Power metrics, it opens the door to entirely new coaching conversations. As a coach, that’s exactly what I want.”

How does the Diamond Power Index® differ from other 360º leadership assessments?

Leadership is a journey through different stages of development. Each stage requires not only different skills, but increased self-understanding and insight necessary to transform to the next level.

As leaders rise in the ranks, it’s critical that they get feedback that helps them see their impact on the performance of others and on the culture at large. This is where the DPI sits.
