Frequently Asked Questions About Leadership Assessments
What are leadership assessment tools?
Leadership assessment tools for development are used to provide comprehensive feedback on job performance from multiple perspectives. Typically these include 360 leadership assessments, which collect input from a leader’s direct reports, peers, bosses, and superiors, as well as the leader’s own self-perceptions. These critical tools are used in a wide array of leadership development initiatives because the 360 results help leaders identify strengths and development needs, improving self-awareness and effectiveness.
How can leadership assessments help your organization?
Leadership assessments are an important tool for leadership evaluation and development. Depending on your company, large-scale, 360 feedback at an organizational level could be the catalyst you need to align leaders, create a sense of urgency for new business strategy, and ensure quick execution. It could also serve as the starting point for a successful coaching program focused on change. Learn about the 5 steps you can take to implement a 360 feedback initiative at your organization.
What is assessment for development?
At the Center for Creative Leadership, we pioneered the concept of using assessment for development, using feedback data from 360 leadership assessments as the key first step to an individual leader’s personal and professional growth. Confidential, candid assessments from raters enable leaders to gain a comprehensive view of themselves from many perspectives and a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. The open and extensive feedback provides greater self-awareness of a leader’s current state, and a basis for future development goals and self-improvement.
