Governance & Executive Due Diligence
Leadership risk is rarely visible on a CV.
It shows up in behavior — in how leaders process authority, handle pressure, make decisions under ambiguity and shape team dynamics long before results appear.
AM Academy provides governance-grade behavioral clarity for critical appointments, succession decisions, and executive due diligence.
We reveal the behavioral patterns that strengthen leadership stability — and the ones that silently introduce liability.
What we assess
Decision Logic Under Real Conditions
How an executive makes judgments when stakes rise:
speed, escalation style, ambiguity tolerance, authority handling, and risk bias.
Governance Stability
How consistently a leader can hold direction under pressure, competing agendas,
political tension, or stakeholder conflict.
Behavioral Risk Profile (BPFS)
A predictive assessment of role fit, long-term stability and potential failure points in leadership behavior.
Interaction & Influence Patterns
How a leader shapes teams, manages informal power and navigates conflict lines inside complex organizations.
Cultural & Contextual Fit
Whether the leader strengthens — or destabilizes — the organization’s decision culture.
