Why should leadership training
be based on Mindset rather than
I.Q. or personality?

leadership coaching

When considering leadership coaching and management training, many organisations focus on intelligence (I.Q.) or personality traits. However, the true key to leadership success lies in mindset.

A company can have exceptionally intelligent leaders with diverse personalities, but the most adaptable and effective leaders share a distinct mindset—one that allows them to navigate change, make strategic decisions, and inspire their teams.

The Power of Mindset in Leadership Development

At Mastery of Mindset, we emphasise the importance of mindset over I.Q. or personality. Before any training begins, conducting a Mindset Assessment is crucial in identifying the specific areas where leaders need development. Without this insight, leadership coaching becomes a guessing game, leading to inconsistent results.

Our proprietary Mindset Analysis tool, developed by our founder Rhonda Jansen, is a proven and highly accurate assessment tool that identifies key strengths and areas for growth, ensuring that training is relevant to each individual’s needs.

Mindset Assessment

Evidence-Based Coaching for Long-Term Success

Leaders are hired for their technical expertise, but true success comes from a mastery of mindset. Our unique and expert Mindset Assessment has consistently proven to reveal how leadership teams think—and why they may be underperforming.

Why Mindset Matters

  • Customised Development: Training should be built around an individual’s current mindset, not their intelligence level or personality type.
  • Adaptability to Change: Leaders with the right mindset can adjust to challenges, manage uncertainty, and drive business success.
  • Motivating and Engaging Teams: Strong leadership is about inspiring others, fostering engagement, and cultivating a unified vision within the organisation.
  • Sustained Growth and Retention: Organisations that invest in mindset-driven leadership training see increased talent retention, team cohesion, and long-term business success.

The Bottom Line

Without a clear understanding of the mindset of their leadership team, organisations risk implementing training that yields inconsistent and ineffective results.

At Mastery of Mindset, we ensure that leadership development is rooted in an evidence-based approach that guarantees meaningful, lasting transformation.

Equip your leadership team with the right mindset, and you’ll create an organisation that thrives in any environment.
