Leadership Circle Assessments & Products

 

Leadership that elevates humanity is rare.

Real leadership is inspiring, stirring, and unexpectedly effective. This leap towards genuine leadership only happens through deliberate development, increasing a leader’s effectiveness by helping them move from reactive leadership to an integral approach.

While good leadership is always inspiring, the process of becoming a great leader involves work. But work is only effective when it’s moving in the right direction. That is why it is critical to build your leadership development plan on a foundation of data. By participating in a Leadership Circle Profile, leaders can discover their strengths and use our incredible  dataset to see exactly where they stand and what they need to do to improve. In short, we provide the data and direction, you provide the effort.

From stand-alone assessments, to full-length organizational transformational engagements, we partner with you to provide what’s needed now.

Leadership Circle Profile™ 360° Assessment

Great leadership takes conscious practice to develop, and that practice starts with deep awareness. The Leadership Circle Profile™ is the first step to build awareness in a leader of their strengths and areas for development.

The most comprehensive leadership assessment system available, The Leadership Circle Profile is the first competency tool to measure both the inner and outer attributes of leadership. Organized into a powerful system for understanding human behavior and development, the Leadership Circle Profile provides unparalleled insight into how leaders lead—and opportunities for growth.

Integrating the Field of Leadership with the most comprehensive 360° Leadership Assessment

The Power of the Leadership Circle Profile

The Leadership Circle Profile™ (LCP) provides a detailed snapshot in time, enabling leaders to answer the question: “How are my behaviors and mindset enabling or constraining my intended leadership impact and our business performance?”

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains — Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies. It measures underlying beliefs and assumptions—the habits of thought that run much of our behavior. As leaders gain these insights, they have much higher leverage to make transformative change.

LCP reflects and synthesizes a diverse body of scientific research. We continue to evolve the LCP to remain the leading edge and global standard in assessment methodology. The Institute for Psychological Research and Application (IPRA) has confirmed through rigorous statistical and methodological analyses that “The Leadership Circle Profile is an internally consistent, valid measure for leadership development. The psychometric properties of Leadership Circle Profile are strong.”

What is a 360° Leadership Assessment?

Unlike a typical leadership assessment, a 360° leadership assessment gathers feedback from all levels a leader needs to be competent – bosses, associates, and peers, and direct reports to evaluate a leader’s leadership skills, attitudes, influence, overall effectiveness, and other key leadership competencies. Leadership Circle Profile is unique because it is the only 360° assessment that measures Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies, combining leadership’s inner and outer attributes. This 360-degree assessment feedback gives the leader greater insight into how they are perceived, including strengths and current limitations in their leadership effectiveness.

Understanding the Leadership Circle Profile

Unlike most 360 leadership assessments that take hours to interpret, the Leadership Circle Profile reveals itself in seconds, putting leaders in touch with what is working, what is not, and why. Integrated information brings essential information to the surface instantly. The leader’s Self Score (bold line) and their rater’s Aggregate Score (green shading) are overlaid on the same graph, enabling leaders to instantly see where they stand not only with those they work but compared with our global leadership database.

How the LCP Works

CREATIVE COMPETENCIES +

The top half of the circle maps Creative Competencies that contribute to a leader’s effectiveness. They measure key leadership behaviors and internal assumptions that lead to high fulfillment and high achievement leadership. These well-researched Creative leadership competencies measure how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your development, act with integrity and courage, and improve organizational systems.

High scores in the Creative dimensions correlate to high levels of leadership effectiveness and business performance.

REACTIVE TENDENCIES +

The lower half of the circle maps self-limiting Reactive Tendencies and behaviors. The Reactive dimensions reflect inner beliefs and assumptions that limit effectiveness, authentic expression, and empowering leadership. Reactive leadership tendencies can emphasize caution over creating purposeful results, self-protection over engagement, or aggressiveness over partnership. These limiting tendencies each hold assumptions about what works: gaining the approval of others, protecting ideas or self-image, or winning results on my own, are a few.

High scores in the Reactive dimensions correlate to low Creative Competency scores and leadership effectiveness.

INTERNAL OPERATING SYSTEM +

LCP gives insight into a leader’s unique Operating System: Internal Assumptions (beliefs) that run behavior in both domains. Seeing how the inner world of thought translates into an effective or ineffective leadership style can be transformative. The Leadership Circle Profile increases awareness to create what you desire as a leader.

LCP is the only 360° assessment built on the Universal Model of Leadership that has theoretical underpinnings supported by the latest and best research on leadership and adult development, all validated through statistical analysis that supports business performance and effectiveness.

INNER & OUTER CIRCLES +

The outer circle displays the results for each of the 29 dimensions measured by the LCP. The inner-circle dimensions summarize the outer circle dimensions into 8 summary scores.

The location of dimensions within the circle illustrates the relationship between dimensions. Adjacent dimensions describe similar behavior patterns that are positively correlated. Dimensions on opposite sides of the circle are opposing behavior patterns and are inversely correlated.

PERCENTILE SCORES +

All scores are displayed as percentile scores compared to our global norm base; high scores are beyond the 67th percentile; low scores are below the 33rd percentile. Comprised of qualitative and quantitative data on leadership effectiveness, our database of 2.5 million surveys provides invaluable insight into a leader’s strengths and liabilities.

SUMMARY DIMENSIONS +

In addition to all the dimensions displayed in the inner and outer circle, the rectangular summary dimension scales located around the circle are intended to bring everything together. They provide useful ‘bottom-line’ measures as well as measures of key patterns within the data.

Reactive-Creative Scale reflects the degree of balance between the Creative dimensions and the Reactive dimensions.

Relationship-Task Balance measures the degree of balance a leader shows between the Achieving and Relating competencies.

Leadership Potential Utilization is a bottom-line measure that compares the overall score of the dimensions measured to that of other leaders who have taken the LCP.

Leadership Effectiveness measures the leader’s perceived level of overall effectiveness.
