Overview
Leadership is a complex and dynamic process, involving multiple mindsets, skills, behaviors, and competencies. Effective leaders constantly learn, grow, and adapt to the changing needs and expectations of the organization and its stakeholders. Self and organizational awareness are key to effectively leading and succeeding in present and future roles.
A 180/360 assessment is an excellent way to boost self-awareness, measuring performance in the current role and used for development purposes. It assists leaders in gaining insights regarding their strengths and areas for development based on the perspectives of various response groups (such as supervisors, peers, direct reports and others) and understanding how effective they are in their leadership role.
Today’s environment is focused on results and performance and emphasizes leaders’ “doing” skills. However, we know that to succeed and deliver on today’s challenges, much more is required. Our complex & dynamic reality means that leaders cannot succeed alone. They must leverage the power of others all around them, to deliver and make a lasting impact. For this, leaders must also develop their “being” skills, essentially – their “operating system” which impacts their behaviors, their presence, and how they are perceived by others.
Our Leadership Boost assessment, built on our Art of Leadership development model, offers a broad perspective on leadership development and incorporates six critical building blocks. Each building block consists of “Being” (presence/energy/mindset) skills and “Doing” (actions/practices) skills required for leaders in the current reality. These skills are translated into behaviors that provide an encompassing picture, creating a solid baseline for further leadership development, and uniquely emphasizing both the BEING and DOING aspects of leadership.
