LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE 360 ASSESSMENT
You have some idea of where your leadership strengths and opportunities are but you're not sure.... you'd really like honest feedback, which seems hard to find as you ascend the leadership ranks. And you're ready to take on the challenge of becoming a better leader and a more evolved individual, with a clear idea of who you are, what your purpose is, and how you want to offer your gifts.
The Leadership Circle Profile is a validated assessment tool that can help meet these goals. The strength of the tool is that, in addition to assessing 18 validated leadership competencies, like achieving results, strategic focus, mentoring and development, interpersonal intelligence, integrity, authenticity, decision-making, and more, it also assesses those thought habits that get in the way of your leadership effectiveness. Are you someone who could be more decisive if you weren't worried so much about how others would perceive you? Could you get more results by delegating more and developing others? This assessment will help cut to the chase and support you in achieving your true leadership talent!
