The Power (and Potential Danger) of Leadership Assessments

In this episode of the Tim Ahlman Podcast, Tim sits down with Jordan Boessling to unpack the power—and potential danger—of leadership assessments like StrengthsFinder, Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and Working Genius.

They explore how tools designed to help leaders grow can sometimes lead to overthinking, comparison, and misplaced identity. But when used properly, these assessments can unlock deeper self-awareness, stronger teams, and more effective ministry.

This conversation dives into emotional intelligence, adaptive leadership, and the tension between knowing yourself and finding your identity in Christ. If you’ve ever taken a personality test—or questioned whether you should—this episode will challenge and sharpen your perspective.

Ultimately, it’s not just about knowing yourself… it’s about knowing who you are in Jesus.
