The Achiever™ Assessment: Supporting Intentional Leadership at Crisafulli Leadership Development

Hiring and developing people has never been simple. At Crisafulli Leadership Development, we work with leaders and organizations who want to move beyond surface-level solutions and lead with clarity, purpose, and intention. Beyond resumes and interviews lies a more important question: How does this person actually think, work, and respond to real job demands? This is where the Achiever™ Assessment by Leadership Management International (LMI) adds real value.

What Is the Achiever™ Assessment?

The Achiever™ Assessment is a comprehensive tool that combines mental aptitude and behavioral tendencies into one clear, practical profile. Rather than focusing only on personality or skills in isolation, it looks at how individuals process information, solve problems, and apply their natural behaviors in a work setting.

This dual-focus approach helps organizations move beyond guesswork and make more informed decisions about hiring, placement, leadership development, and succession planning—an approach that strongly aligns with the intentional leadership philosophy of Crisafulli Leadership Development.

Why Mental Aptitude and Behavior Both Matter

Many assessments measure either how people think or how they behave. The Achiever™ Assessment integrates both because performance is shaped by the interaction of these two elements.

• Mental Aptitude reflects how quickly and accurately a person learns, reasons, and adapts to new challenges.
• Behavioral Tendencies reveal natural work styles—such as pace, people interaction, assertiveness, and attention to detail.

When these insights are combined, leaders gain a realistic picture of how someone is likely to perform in a specific role, not just how they interview.

How Crisafulli Leadership Development Uses the Achiever™ Assessment

At Crisafulli Leadership Development, the Achiever™ Assessment is used as a practical, people-centered tool to support better decisions and stronger leadership:

Hiring and Selection

Hiring mistakes are costly. The assessment supports better hiring conversations by showing whether a candidate’s thinking capacity and behavioral style align with the demands of the role.

Leadership and Management Development

For current leaders, the Achiever™ Assessment highlights strengths to leverage and areas for growth. This allows coaching, training, and development programs to be more focused, relevant, and impactful—supporting leaders as they grow in confidence, competence, and effectiveness.

Team Alignment and Productivity

Understanding how team members think and behave improves communication, reduces friction, and helps managers assign work more effectively.

Succession Planning

Organizations can identify high-potential individuals early and prepare them intentionally for future leadership roles.

Supporting Growth, Not Labels

One of the strengths of the Achiever™ Assessment is that it is not designed to label or limit people. Instead, it creates a foundation for meaningful development conversations. When individuals understand their natural tendencies and thinking style, they become more self-aware and more open to growth.

Used correctly, the assessment encourages accountability, clarity, and continuous improvement—key outcomes we aim to create through every Crisafulli Leadership Development engagement.

A Tool That Reflects Intentional Leadership

In environments where performance, trust, and long-term success matter, decisions about people deserve more than intuition alone. The Achiever™ Assessment supports Crisafulli Leadership Development’s commitment to intentional leadership—helping leaders align people with roles where they can think clearly, work effectively, and contribute meaningfully. The result is stronger teams, healthier workplace cultures, and more sustainable performance outcomes.

The Achiever™ Assessment is part of Leadership Management International’s suite of tools and is delivered through Crisafulli Leadership Development as part of its commitment to practical, values-driven leadership and management development.
