Leadership Decision Intelligence

Leadership decisions shape institutional outcomes.

The GLAD Score™ helps school leaders and educational teams understand how they make decisions, communicate, collaborate and lead change — before the next high-stakes moment.

GLAD Score™

The six Genius Leadership Archetypes™.

Identify the natural leadership and decision-making patterns present in your leaders and teams.

Visionary

Sees around corners. Sets direction. Sometimes struggles with the how.

Empathetic

Reads the room. Holds culture. Can absorb team weight.

Action-Oriented

Moves work forward. Delivers. May sprint past alignment.

Transformational

Reinvents systems. Sponsors change. Can outpace the team's readiness.

Analytical

Anchors decisions in data and rigor. May underweight the human factor.

Collaborative

Builds coalitions. Invites contribution. Guards against consensus drift.
