Do any of the following apply to you?
- You've recently been promoted and are increasingly responsible for people and business outcomes.
- You are newer to a team or organization and want to "start strong."
- You are feeling stagnant in your work and leadership and want to "reset" how you are showing up for your people.
- You want a data-driven answer to the question, "how am I doing as a leader?"
If any of the above apply to you, we recommend considering a 360 Assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions about 360 Assessments
What is it, and why should I consider it?
A 360 Assessment is one of the most powerful tools in leadership development. By gathering feedback from multiple perspectives (manager, peers, direct reports, other stakeholders), a 360 assessment offers a full, honest picture of how your leadership is experienced by others.
What 360 assessment tool do you leverage with your clients?
We leverage the gold standard in 360 assessments, The Leadership Circle Profile.
What makes your 360 tool more effective than other 360 tools?
The tool we use, the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) is unique in the following ways:
- We link your leadership behavior to the ability to impact people *and* business outcomes.
- We do this by helping you understand your effective ("Creative") competencies that are leading to higher performance, and your limiting ("Reactive") tendencies that are lowering effectiveness.
- Your results are compared to a global norm base of 10K+ leaders, helping you to understand your unique strengths and critical areas in need of improvement.
If I decide to move forward with a 360, how does the process work?
Client identifies evaluators
- The process begins by you, the client, identifying between 5-10 evaluators to fill out a survey on your behalf. We can help you identify an ideal mix of evaluators, if helpful.
- Once your evaluators have agreed to participate in your 360, your work is done!
We administer a survey to your evaluators:
- Once we have the names and emails of your evaluators, we administer a survey to each of your evaluators and monitor progress.
- We own all monitoring and follow-up so that you do not have to keep track of these details.
We generate a comprehensive 360 report profiling your full results. This report includes:
- A full-picture view of leadership impact drawn from multiple perspectives, revealing strengths, gaps, and blinds spots.
- Qualitative, written comments from your evaluators.
- Comparison to the global leadership norms and where you stand relative to global benchmarks.
- A summary of your unique leadership brand -- the combination of your highest rated competencies.
We debrief the results with you in a 1:1 coaching session
- We carefully guide you through the results of your 360, providing you the opportunity to ask questions, reflect, and identify key action items and takeaways.
- Your results are entirely confidential, and not shared with your evaluators.
