Leadership Assessments for Leaders and Teams

Developing one’s leadership starts with understanding where you are right now. One of the fastest and most effective ways for both a leader as well as a team to do this is to conduct a “360” assessment. I am certified to deliver the two most highly respected and most validated leadership assessments available in the market. These are the “Leadership Circle Profile” which assesses an individual’s leadership, as well as the “Leadership Culture Survey” which measures the leadership culture of a team or organization. Below are descriptions of each assessment from the Leadership Circle’s website: http://www.theleadershipcircle.com/ . See this Leadership Circle website for more information.

 

“The Leadership Circle Profile” (Individual Leadership Assessment)

The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP) is the only 360 degree feedback instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains- Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies- and integrates this information so that the key opportunities for development immediately rise to the surface.

Creative Competencies are well-researched competencies that measure how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your own development, act with integrity and courage, and improve organizational systems.

Reactive Tendencies are leadership styles that emphasize caution over creating results, self-protection over productive engagement, and aggression over building alignment. These self-limiting styles overemphasize the focus on gaining the approval of others, protecting yourself, and getting results through high control tactics.

Most importantly, TLCP 360 degree feedback instrument is unique in that it reveals a leader’s Operating System: the 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.

 

“The Leadership Culture Survey” (Team and Organizational Leadership Assessment)

If you would like to get a powerfully insightful read of your leadership culture, consider using The Leadership Culture Survey (TLCS). Used for your entire organization or just a leadership team, TLCS reveals valuable data: It tells you how your people view their current leadership culture, and compares that reality to the optimal culture they desire. The “gap” between data on their current culture and their desired culture instantly reveals key opportunities for leadership development. Furthermore, TLCS measures how your leadership culture compares to that of other organizations.

The Leadership Culture Survey will:

  • Establish a compelling rationale for change;
  • Focus leadership development efforts;
  • Delineate cultural challenges associated with acquisitions, mergers and restructuring plans;
  • Correlate leadership to productivity, profits, turnover, and other bottom line metrics.

TLCS is quick, very affordable, web based, and user friendly. Results are downloadable. This means that over a lunch break, you can conduct a thorough and valid assessment of your team’s leadership style. The Leadership Culture Survey works seamlessly with the individual Leadership Circle Profile so that if your organization chose to do both, the two instruments would provide complementary feedback.
