Proprietary Assessment

Every coaching engagement begins with a self-assessment built on Above’s proprietary 12 Pillars of Executive Leadership, a framework developed by Sanoop Luke to help leaders understand where they stand today and where they want to grow next. Sanoop will conduct assessment for the coachee, and when requested, with the manager of the coachee to compare and contrast results. We will focus on the following 12 pillars below:

  • Person in a suit analyzing a document with a magnifying glass, with additional papers and documents on the desk.

    1. Attention to Detail

    Approaches facts, figures, and policies with precision while avoiding both oversight and micro management.

  • A man standing outdoors with mountains and grassy fields in the background, crossing his arms and facing the camera.

    2. Accountability

    Owns results, sets high standards, and fosters a culture of responsibility.

  • Two men in business suits having a serious conversation in an office setting, with one man sitting behind a desk and the other facing him.

    3. Communication

    Articulates clearly, listens deeply, and adapts to diverse audiences.

  • Desk with open book, glasses, pen, stacks of notebooks, laptop showing graphs, smartphone, coffee mug, potted plant, and notebooks near window.

    4. Subject Matter Mastery

    Applies expertise effectively, stays ahead of industry trends, and integrates knowledge across disciplines.

  • A man walking towards a modern wooden house on a stone pathway, carrying a black shoulder bag, in a mountainous landscape.

    5. Adaptability

    Embraces change and navigates complexity with a growth mindset.

  • A man with dark hair and a beard looking out a window with a contemplative expression, resting his chin on his hand, with his reflection visible on the glass.

    6. Self-Awareness

    Understands personality traits, strengths, blind spots, and emotional patterns, as well as their impact on others.

  • A man in a business suit looking at his watch on a city sidewalk.

    7. Authenticity

    Leads in alignment with values, building credibility and long-term trust.

  • A woman sitting at a desk looking at a paper with a bar graph, holding a pen, with a laptop and sticky notes on the desk, and a bookshelf and window in the background.

    8. Decision-Making

    Balances data and intuition to make timely choices that support both short and long-term success.

  • A confident African American man in a navy suit and light blue tie standing outdoors with arms crossed, in front of a government building with columns and an American flag.

    9. Confidence

    Leads with grounded assurance while balancing conviction with humility. 

  • Female professional with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, wearing a light blue button-up shirt, smiling in an indoor office setting.

    10. Ethical Leadership

    Models integrity, fairness, and principled choices.

  • Side profile of a middle-aged man in a business suit looking out a window with a cityscape view.

    11. Vision

    Sees the big picture, sets strategic goals, and inspires alignment.

  • A woman with brown wavy hair in a white blazer standing in a conference room near a large wooden table, with windows showing an urban cityscape outside.

    12. Executive Presence

    Embodies composure and gravitas, commands respect, and remains approachable.

  • “The coaching helped me move from tactical management to strategic leadership. I went from working in the business to working on my business, including learning to manage up to executives above me. The sessions were challenging, honest, and transformative.”

     – Managing Director, Global Media Company

  • “I've had lots of trainings. This has been one of the most valuable professional experiences I’ve had. I left every session with clarity, focus, and actionable next steps.”
