The
Diagnostic
The Diagnostic is a confidential, third-party organizational intelligence engagement that surfaces the truth about leadership capability, culture dynamics, and the unmet needs that impede results.
This is not a standard engagement survey. It is a deep, protected listening process - grounded in neuroscience and narrative analysis - that gives leadership the data they cannot access on their own.
This service is the foundation of everything evolveEMPATHY℠ does. Every recommendation, every leadership development design, and every culture strategy is built from the truth this diagnostic surfaces.
What It Solves
-
Leadership blind spots that internal feedback channels cannot reveal
-
Unreliable or incomplete existing data
-
The gap between stated organizational values and lived employee experience
-
Burnout, retention, and disengagement driven by causes leadership has not identified
-
Psychological safety inconsistencies across teams and levels
-
Collaboration breakdowns rooted in unspoken narratives and power dynamics
What’s Included
We identify what your organization already knows, what’s trustworthy, and where the blind spots are.
Then, we implement a custom data collection plan that includes:
-
Confidential Employee Listening Sessions
-
Key Informant Interviews
-
Empathy & Leadership Competency Assessments
-
Client & Stakeholder Interviews
When leaders validate truth, two things happen that no training program can manufacture:
1. Social Capital Grows
Research shows that leaders who demonstrate genuine empathetic concern — valuing people, treating them fairly, choosing collaboration over competition — see 75% higher engagement and 50% better retention (Nowack & Zak, 2020).
2. Moral Capital Accumulates
A review of 234 workplace studies found that empathy is consistently linked to stronger moral reasoning, fairer decisions, and the willingness to act on one's values (Jiang et al., 2026).
