Assessments are a valuable way to understand who you are at your best and what’s next for you as a leader.  Depending upon your desired outcomes, we will recommend that you complete a 360-degree feedback review, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or include job shadowing as part of your leadership development program.

The Leadership Circle Profile

The Leadership Circle Profile is a 360-degree assessment that measures both creative leadership competencies and more reactive tendencies and it integrates this information so that the key opportunities for development immediately rise to the surface.  Most importantly, TLCP is unique in that it reveals a leader's internal assumptions (beliefs) that run behavior in both domains.  This allows the manager to see how his/her inner world of thought is translating into a productive or unproductive style of leadership.

 Ultimately TLCP increases the inner awareness that affects outward behavior.  TLCP's focus and accessibility never overwhelms managers with unrelated data. Using TLCP, managers can see the whole picture at a glance.  TLCP also displays the critical  relationships between strengths and weaknesses, creative competencies and reactive tendencies, and the interaction between inner assumptions and outer behavior.

 Qualitative 360 Review

The Qualitative 360 Review gives you valuable feedback about your strengths, impact on others and what’s next for you as a leader.  It begins with identifying six to eight business associates or stakeholders to provide confidential feedback. Contributors usually include your direct supervisor, peers, direct reports and sometimes customers. 

 Next each stakeholder is interviewed to gather information about your strengths and opportunities for growth. The results are compiled into a summary document. (We keep the comments of individual stakeholders confidential to encourage candor.)  At the same time, you conduct a self-assessment so that we can see where the gaps are between how you view yourself and how others see you. 

 We then present the results to you and follow-up with a confidential written report.  Once you have had an opportunity to read the results, we meet to create a learning agenda and talk about how to communicate commitments to the contributors.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers Briggs assessment is a powerful way to maximize your effectiveness by increasing your self-awareness and understanding of others. This assessment with a personalized written report will give you a greater understanding of what energizes you, and how you prefer to make decisions and take in information.  It also provides you with the particular strengths and pitfalls of your leadership style as well as ways to identify and work with colleagues who have different styles.
