It measures emotional intelligence, character patterns, thinking styles, and leadership tendencies across nine personality types.

Over 10,000 global leaders and 500+ Fortune 1000 CEOs have taken the MLEI, including Steve Jobs in 2010. The assessment is administered as part of all JMG coaching programs and is available as a standalone diagnostic. The MLEI is differentiated from generic personality assessments by its direct connection to the Intelligent Leadership framework, linking inner core character patterns to outer core leadership competencies and providing a roadmap for inside-out transformation. ### About John Mattone **URL:** https://johnmattone.com/about-john-mattone/ John Mattone is a globally recognized executive coach, keynote speaker, and leadership authority with over 30 years of experience in leadership development.

It is the foundational framework for all JMG coaching programs and certifications. The Seven Tenets of Intelligent Leadership provide the structural framework, visualized in the Wheel of Intelligent Leadership. These tenets address the full spectrum of leadership development from self-awareness to organizational impact. Five Support Elements underpin the framework: 1. Emotional Connection: Building authentic relationships through vulnerability and empathy 2. Critical Thinking: Developing rigorous analytical and strategic thinking capabilities 3. Cultural Awareness: Understanding and navigating organizational and cross-cultural dynamics 4. Personal Accountability: Taking ownership of development and outcomes 5. Commitment to Growth: Sustained dedication to continuous inside-out transformation The inner core (character, values, beliefs, emotions, thinking patterns) drives the outer core (strategic thinking, communication, decision-making, team leadership). This inside-out approach differentiates IL from surface-level leadership development that focuses only on skills and behaviors. IL provides the theoretical and practical foundation for JMG's 11 published books, coaching programs, certification training, and assessment tools. ### Corporate Culture Advisory **URL:** https://johnmattone.com/experiences/culture/ JMG's culture advisory services use the Stealth Cultural Transformation Model to help organizations identify and address cultural dysfunction.

Free Consultation: Initial assessment of organizational culture health and identification of primary risk areas 2. C-Level Retreat: Intensive working sessions with senior leadership to diagnose root causes and design transformation strategy 3. Implement & Elevate: Execution of culture change initiatives with measurable ROI tracking Diagnostic tools include the 5CCA (5 Cultures of Culture Assessment) measuring organizational culture across five dimensions, and the CTRA-40 (Cultural Transformation Readiness Assessment) evaluating readiness for change. The Stealth Cultural Transformation Model works "inside-out" at the organizational level, addressing underlying leadership character and values before tactical culture initiatives. ### John Mattone's Leadership Books **URL:** https://johnmattone.com/books/ John Mattone has authored 11 books on leadership, executive coaching, and organizational transformation, with five reaching best-seller status.
