Triple Bottom Line Impact
Today’s best leaders strive to operate with a triple bottom line approach for the benefit of the business, the people and the planet.
What Is HEARTI?
Modern Leaders Need a New Set of Power Skills to Fuel Their Success
Built on recent breakthroughs in cognitive and positive psychology, organizational design, performance management, and extensive research with leaders across numerous industries and around the globe, we’ve created the HEARTI Model to measure the core leadership competencies needed to succeed in the new world of work.

Why Is HEARTI Different?
HEARTI Provides Modern Leaders with the Insights They Need to Succeed
Unlike typical leadership assessments, HEARTI is not a psychological profile. HEARTI doesn’t ask about your ideas and beliefs, HEARTI asks what you DO as a modern leader. HEARTI helps leaders understand how they show up for others. You’ll learn how you measure up including:
Are you a servant leader who seeks to understand?
Do you bring compassionate empathy to your interactions with others?
Are you accountable for the impact of your actions on your teams, your company, the world at large?
Can you be agile and courageous in the face of challenges?
Are you authentic and willing to stand by your beliefs?
Do you collaborate with others to create high performing, inclusive cultures?
Are you truly committed to inclusivity as a driver for better business outcomes?
By taking the HEARTI Leader assessment, you’ll learn your areas of strength and areas of opportunity as a modern leader.
How HEARTI Are You?
At PrismWork, our experience is that the best-in-class leaders of today have a “We” mindset rooted in the belief that the purpose of a corporation goes beyond exclusively delivering results for the single bottom line and that their role as leaders is far greater than enhancing shareholder profits.
These Modern Leaders are serving broader stakeholder interests (hence, the term stakeholder capitalism). They are committed to driving outcomes for the benefit of people, the planet, and profits as the collective measurement of success.
