Inbox Simulations

Real-World Challenges, Real Leadership Insights

In today’s fast-paced work environment, leaders are constantly juggling competing priorities. Our Inbox Simulation creates a realistic, high-stakes experience that mirrors the daily demands of leadership—an overflowing inbox filled with urgent decisions, shifting priorities, and limited information. By navigating this simulation, leaders reveal their natural problem-solving approach, showing how they make decisions, involve others, and take action under pressure. It’s an engaging, insightful way to identify strengths, uncover blind spots, and develop the skills needed to lead with confidence.

Our Ascend Talent Strategies (ATS) Inbox is leveraged as part of a Supervisory/Managerial Assessment Process. Prior to engaging LWF, the inbox was administered in-person. LWF was able to quickly turn the inbox into a virtual/digital experience for our customers. We asked LWF to make a few subtle changes to fit the virtual format. Since 2019, the virtual inbox has been completed seamlessly by several clients. By making this change, ATS likely avoided having clients migrate to competitors! I would recommend LWF to others who seek these services.
