The Talent Accelerator Quotient (TAQ®)
The leadership blind spot you can’t see may be the one holding you back.
The higher leaders climb, the less honest feedback they receive.
Politics get in the way. Teams become more cautious. Colleagues stop telling you what you need to hear and start telling you what they think you want to hear.
That creates a dangerous reality: many accomplished executives don’t plateau because they stop working hard—they plateau because they lose visibility into their own leadership.
The Talent Accelerator Quotient (TAQ®) is inclineHR’s proprietary executive leadership assessment designed to help experienced leaders uncover those blind spots. In just 5–7 minutes, you’ll receive a numerical benchmark across six core leadership competencies, helping you understand where you’re strongest, where your leadership may be creating friction, and where focused development can have the greatest impact.
Whether you’re leading an organization, preparing for greater responsibility, or simply committed to becoming a better leader, the TAQ® provides a clear starting point for meaningful growth.
Why The TAQ® is Different
Most leadership assessments tell you who you are.
The TAQ® is designed to show you where you can improve.
Rather than placing leaders into personality categories or providing broad personality descriptions, the TAQ® benchmarks six executive competencies that influence leadership effectiveness. The result is a practical leadership baseline that helps identify strengths, uncover blind spots, and guide future development.
Built on more than two decades of executive coaching and leadership experience, the TAQ® was created for leaders seeking meaningful feedback—not generic personality labels.
