Human Synergistics
emotional intelligence assessment tools.
Uncapping leadership, culture and performance potential with leading diagnostic tools.
For over two decades, we’ve trusted Human Synergistics' globally recognised diagnostic tools to help individuals, teams, and organisations grow with purpose.
Backed by over 50 years of research and used by leading companies worldwide, these tools offer deep insights into behaviour, impact, and culture.
The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) is a globally recognised leadership diagnostic that measures the thinking styles and behaviours that influence how individuals lead and interact with others.
It provides insight across three key clusters:
Constructive styles (high effectiveness)
Passive/Defensive styles
Aggressive/Defensive styles
This creates a clear picture of emotional intelligence:
How leaders see themselves
How others experience them
The impact they have on culture and performance
What is the Life Styles Inventory (LSI)?
Why LSI Matters for Leadership
Many leadership programs fail because they lack self awareness.
LSI provides:
Deep personal insight
Objective feedback from others
A structured framework for development
This enables leaders to:
Understand their behavioural impact
Identify strengths and derailers
Make targeted, meaningful changes
Applications for LSI
We use LSI across:
Leadership development
Strategy and alignment
Culture transformation programs
Psychosocial safety initiatives
Mentoring
When used across leadership teams, LSI creates team and organisation impact:
A shared language for leadership
Greater alignment and trust
Improved team effectiveness
Stronger performance environments
It also provides organisations with:
Clear visibility of leadership capability
A framework for development
A consistent approach to leading people
This is not personality testing, like Myers Briggs, DISC etc - these don’t assess emotional intelligence. LSI gets to the heart of how leaders think, and how that thinking drives behaviour, irrespective of personality traits.
From Insight to Change
The true value of LSI is not in the report — it is in what leaders do with it. We work with leaders to:
Interpret their circumplex results
Understand the drivers behind their styles
Identify practical shifts in behaviour
Build development plans that stick
We focus on:
Translating insight into action
Embedding behavioural change
Linking leadership to performance outcomes
Executive Mentoring
Our executive mentoring differs from the norm. We use emotional intelligence competencies as the basis of building executive presence and influence to uncap effectiveness.
We partner in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires Executives to identify and better utilise their strengths, identify barriers and road blocks to effectiveness in behaviour and execution, and maximise personal and professional potential.
Importantly, we provide tactical real life tools and strategies for impactful change.
