Assessment Overview​

Understand Your Approach to Change and Lead with Confidence

The Change Style Indicator® (CSI) is a leadership assessment that measures your preferred style for approaching and managing change. It helps you uncover how you naturally initiate and respond to workplace transitions—insights that are critical for building resilient teams and thriving in today’s dynamic environment.

What CSI Reveals

Your results place you on a continuum of three distinct styles:

  • Conserver – Prefers stability and gradual change with clear structure; finds ambiguity challenging.
  • Pragmatist – Balances flexibility and structure; adapts easily and bridges diverse perspectives.
  • Originator – Embraces bold, radical change; challenges existing systems and drives innovation.

These styles are more influenced by personality than by specific situations. Understanding your style—and appreciating others’—creates a foundation for better communication, collaboration, and leadership during change.
