360 Degree Leadership Assessment
Professional growth is challenging — getting from where you are today to where you want to go requires insight you don’t yet have.
True leadership transformation isn't found in a workshop or a bestseller. It’s an inside job, guided by the courage to see clearly and grow deeply.
At Executive 360° Coaching, we guide leaders through a 360° leadership assessment process designed to uncover their greatest strengths, reveal hidden blind spots, and ignite meaningful, measurable development.
Using the Leadership Circle Profile® — widely recognized as one of the best 360 leadership assessment tools available — we help leaders build the foundation for greater influence, resilience, and impact.
This assessment gives you the leverage to drive meaningful, measurable change.
Ready to uncover the real drivers of your leadership effectiveness?
Why a 360 Degree Leadership Assessment Matters
Leaders today must foster agility, innovation, emotional intelligence, and resilience — not just technical excellence.
A well-designed 360 degree leadership assessment gives leaders a full-circle view of how they are perceived by others, revealing crucial insights into influence, collaboration, reactive tendencies, and creative leadership strengths.
This isn’t about judgment — it's about clarity.
And clarity is the first step toward transformation.
Our 360 Degree Leadership Assessment Process
-
Step 1: Gather 360 Degree Feedback from Your Leadership Circle
First, we gather broad-based feedback from people who know the leader’s style and ways of operating — supervisors, direct reports, peers, and clients.
The leader also completes a self-assessment, answering the same scientifically validated questions that correlate strongly with effective leadership and business performance.This feedback provides invaluable insight into:
∙ Overall leadership effectiveness
∙ Influence and collaboration skills
∙ Reactive tendencies under pressure
∙ Core leadership competencies
This is the foundation of transformational leadership growth.
-
Step 2: Interpret Your Leadership Score and Identify Growth Opportunities
The feedback is benchmarked against a large global norm group, producing a robust and visually compelling leadership profile.
Through the Leadership Circle Profile, leaders can clearly see:
∙ How they show up under stress
∙ How their leadership style is perceived by others
∙ How their effectiveness compares to thousands of peers
This 360 degree leadership assessment reveals more than behaviors — it uncovers the beliefs and assumptions driving them.
Together with your professional development coach, you’ll identify targeted, high-impact growth goals — not generic annual review goals, but transformational goals designed to elevate your leadership effectiveness.
-
Step 3: Build a Targeted Leadership Development Plan
Having a goal is essential — but achieving it requires a thoughtful, structured plan.
In collaboration with your professional development coach, you’ll create a leadership development plan that:
∙ Addresses the internal mindsets fueling reactive patterns
∙ Defines new leadership behaviors aligned with your goals
∙ Integrates benchmarking to track real-world progress
With a clear plan and dedicated coaching support, leaders move beyond insight into sustainable change — strengthening their leadership presence, influence, and results.
How effective are performance reviews in
driving real leadership growth at your company?
The Leadership Circle Profile is different —
a top choice for Fortune 100 firms.
Today’s business environment demands leaders who are agile, emotionally intelligent, and visionary. Technical expertise alone is no longer enough. That’s why “professional development” is no longer optional. But, first, we need a clear picture of how the leader is operating right now and what impact they have on their teams and organization.
Among the many leadership evaluations available — MBTI, DISC, Hogan, CliftonStrengths — the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) stands apart for its depth, integration, and developmental power.
Depth of Insight: LCP uncovers not just what leaders do, but why they do it.
Integrated Framework: LCP integrates leadership theory, adult development, and psychological insights.
Developmental Focus: LCP provides a clear, actionable pathway for leadership growth — not just static labels.
While other leadership evaluations assign types or traits, the LCP connects internal drivers to outward impact, offering a more sophisticated, useful model and enabling transformational change.
That’s why 45% of Fortune 100 companies rely on the Leadership Circle Profile® as a core part of their leadership development assessments and leadership training programs.
Why choose the Leadership Circle Profile?
-
Other assessments describe behaviors.
The Leadership Circle Profile connects behaviors to beliefs — empowering deeper self-awareness and meaningful leadership change.

Other assessments categorize.
The Leadership Circle Profile maps a developmental journey — helping leaders move from reactive coping to creative, visionary leadership.
The Leadership Circle Profile stands out by revealing the “why” under the “what” — the assumptions and beliefs under the identified style.
Built on robust theory, the LCP integrates the “how” of development — empowering leaders to achieve meaningful and sustained growth with a pathway to improve, instead of just a label.
How the Leadership Circle Profile Compares to
Other 360 Leadership Assessments
-
Focus: Psychological types and personality preferences

-
Focus: Behavioral tendencies across Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness
Limitation: Describes surface behaviors without exploring internal belief systems
-
Focus: Personality traits, derailers, and leadership risks
Limitation: Focuses on predicting failure risks more than driving transformational development

Focus: Identification of innate talents across domains
Limitation: Highlights natural strengths but offers limited pathways for evolving leadership capacity
Why the Leadership Circle Profile is the Smartest Choice for 360 Degree Leadership Development
The Leadership Circle Profile® stands apart because it combines the insights of a 360 degree leadership assessment with a clear, actionable roadmap for leadership growth. It doesn't just tell you what you are — it shows you how to grow.
By connecting external behaviors to internal drivers, the LCP fuels lasting leadership transformation — not just better understanding.
Today, businesses operate in a whirlwind of fast-paced technological evolution, increased competition, shifting consumer behaviors, and economic uncertainty.
Knowledge base, technical expertise and industry experience are no longer enough. Organizations must be AGILE and INNOVATIVE to survive, much less thrive. This level of challenge and complexity require increased clarity, responsiveness and flowing creativity.
Leaders must cultivate traits that foster adaptability, encourage innovation, and inspire their teams to navigate uncertainty with confidence.
These are the insights that make the LCP so valuable — and so widely adopted.
