A system and method for evaluating leadership abilities and identifying leadership talent among users and organizations in a social network, and to compare the leadership abilities of a user to the leadership abilities of other users or categories of users in a social network. The system includes: (1) a user account module configured to create a user profile, (2) a rater invite module configured to send requests for a single evaluation or multiple/subsequent evaluations from individuals that serve on the user's “leadership panel,” (3) a rater categorization module configured to categorize raters in relation to the user, (4) a user request module configured to allow a user to request to evaluate another user, (5) an evaluation module configured to submit ratings of leadership attributes and competencies received from raters or as an optional self-evaluation using a five-point rating scale, and (6) a computation module to capture and update ratings, compute an overall leadership score, assess leadership performance, and determine the “leadership zone” within which an individual falls based on their overall leadership score and number of ratings. Segmentation of users by defined zones allows for the identification of high performance leaders based on experiential input from individuals that have knowledge and observations of the leader and reflects the aggregated assessment of an individual's leadership qualities.
