Focus

The challenges faced by executives at the top levels in an organization can differ a great deal from those at the middle management level. Benchmarks© for Executives™ is a 360-degree assessment designed to address the specific leadership issues of top-level executives. Unlike other assessments that contain normative data encompassing all users, Benchmarks© for Executives™ data are screened to ensure that only the very top-level leaders are included in the normative base. And, now CCL Compass™ is included which allows leaders to transition immediately from reviewing insights to making positive changes in the areas most relevant.
