Evaluating leadership bodies
Your leadership body has a map. You have never seen it.
Board, Comex, CODIR: a group that works is not simply the sum of brilliant careers, it is a balance. The leadership body evaluation shows where yours naturally puts its energy, what it relies on and what it leaves aside.
Your leadership body already evaluates itself. Make it a useful moment.
Governance codes recommend evaluating the board regularly, and many committees take stock every year. Beyond the compliance questionnaire, we make balances visible, so the body can discuss them in the same words. No scores, no rankings: governance questions remain anonymous, and no profile is shared without the person’s consent.
Mapping the board
One map for the whole group
Each member completes their profile with the Dynastrat method. The profiles are brought together on a single map, across 12 registers: at a glance, you see what the group carries and what it leaves aside.
Complementarities
The strengths that balance each other within the group.
The risk of groupthink
When everyone thinks alike.
Carried by a single seat
A register that rests on one person.
The mirror gap
Between what members think they bring and what others perceive.
Governance questions
Each question is read collectively
In addition to the Dynastrat profile, each member answers a questionnaire dedicated to how the body works: preparing decisions, room for debate, monitoring execution, relationship with management.
High consensus
Everyone agrees: it is an established strength.
“The board monitors the execution of the decisions it takes.”
Low consensus
Everyone agrees: it is a gap.
“Disagreements are voiced in the meeting rather than on the sidelines.”
Divided
Opinions differ: a subject to open up together.
“The board devotes time to long-term issues.”
Flat
No clear signal: a question to ask differently.
“The minutes faithfully reflect the discussions.”
A reading based on the Dynastrat method, drawing on analytical psychology and affective neuroscience, developed and refined in practice over more than fifteen years. Each governance question is linked to the model’s registers.
Preferences, not competencies.
The evaluation judges neither members’ worth nor their results. It reads their preferences: where each person naturally puts their energy. A less-invested register is not a weakness, it is a reference point for composing the group better.
The engagement
Shared reference points, a dialogue that moves forward
Board of directors, executive committee or management committee: the evaluation is led by a certified consultant, acting as a trusted third party.
Everyone answers
Online, at their own pace: each member completes their Dynastrat profile and answers the governance questions.
The consultant reads
They cross-reference the two readings and share initial insights with the chair.
The body discusses
The group discovers its map and agrees on two or three concrete levers, reviewed a few months later.
You receive: your leadership body’s map, insights prepared for the chair, and debrief sessions with a certified consultant.
The questions you are asking
Six situations where the evaluation makes a difference
“Who should we recruit for the next term?”
Beyond skills, identify the blind spot or the register carried by a single seat that the next term needs to cover.
A precise recruitment brief.
“How do I take charge of this board?”
A new chair inherits an unfamiliar board or committee: quickly understand the group’s balances.
An informed start in the role.
“Why are our meetings so polite?”
When debate fades or tenses up, tell a structural effect apart from a disagreement between people.
Discussions that open up again.
“Are we ready for this acquisition?”
Acquisition, merger, new management team: read the group’s balance before and after the deal.
Integration planned ahead.
“What is our evaluation really for?”
Turn the periodic evaluation into real collective work that helps governance mature.
Explicit rules of the game.
“Who will take over?”
Succession of the chief executive, family handover, opening up the capital: check that the body is ready.
Choices made and owned together.
