Lead with Clarity. Transform with Insight. Grow with Confidence.
The KOC Leadership Compass is a customized leadership development experience that blends data-driven, human-centered leadership assessment; expert insights; reflection; and action planning. It helps individuals and organizations gain clarity on where they stand and where they want to go, identify what’s next, and decide how to move forward with purpose.
The Why
You Can’t Transform What You Can’t See.
Most leaders know when something feels off, there are communication gaps, unclear priorities,
or misaligned expectations. But without a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface,
it’s hard to know where to focus.
The KOC Leadership Compass gives leaders that clarity. It’s not about labeling strengths or
weaknesses. It’s about providing the insight to understand how you lead, having engaging
support and expert guidance to make sense of your discoveries, and translating it all into
actionable strategies that move you forward with purpose.
What It Is
A Clear, Insightful Roadmap for Growth
The Leadership Compass is KOC’s proprietary framework and assessment that measures the capabilities, mindsets, and behaviors that drive effective leadership and a healthy organizational culture
It combines:
Data-Driven, Scientifically Validated Assessment
Evidence-based metrics that measure leadership alignment, team dynamics, and readiness.
Expert Insight
Guidance and interpretation from experienced KOC consultants who translate results into meaningful action.
Personalized Next Steps / Roadmap
A clear, actionable plan that links insight to growth from coaching and development to team alignment and transformation.
A clear, actionable next step (Illuminate) or a plan (Compass & Drive) links insights gleaned
from your assessment and leadership expert sessions to support your growth, goals, and impact
from team alignment to leadership transformation.
Whether used by individuals or entire groups and teams, the Leadership Compass provides a
foundation for self-awareness, self-understanding, and growth that lasts.
