Integrating the Field of Leadership with the most comprehensive 360° Leadership Assessment

Leadership Circle Profile

The Leadership Circle Profile® (LCP) provides a detailed snapshot in time, enabling leaders to answer the question: “How are my behaviors and mindset enabling or constraining my intended leadership impact and our business performance?”

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains — Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies. It measures underlying beliefs and assumptions—the habits of thought that run much of our behavior. As leaders gain these insights, they have much higher leverage to make transformative change.

LCP reflects and synthesizes a diverse body of scientific research. We continue to evolve the LCP to remain the leading edge and global standard in assessment methodology. The Institute for Psychological Research and Application (IPRA) has confirmed through rigorous statistical and methodological analyses that “The Leadership Circle Profile is an internally consistent, valid measure for leadership development. The psychometric properties of Leadership Circle Profile are strong.

What is a 360° Leadership Assessment?

Unlike a typical leadership assessment, a 360° leadership assessment gathers feedback from people at all levels in the organization with a relevant perspective on the participant’s leadership ability – bosses, associates, and peers, and direct reports. They evaluate the participant’s leadership skills, attitudes, influence, overall effectiveness, and other key leadership competencies. Leadership Circle Profile is unique because it is the only 360° assessment that measures Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies, combining leadership’s inner and outer attributes. This 360-degree assessment feedback gives the leader greater insight into how they are perceived, including strengths and current limitations in their leadership effectiveness.

Understanding the Leadership Circle Profile

Unlike most 360 leadership assessments that take hours to interpret, the Leadership Circle Profile reveals itself in seconds, putting leaders in touch with what is working, what is not, and why. Integrated information brings essential information to the surface instantly. The leader’s Self Score (bold line) and their rater’s Aggregate Score (green shading) are overlaid on the same graph, enabling leaders to instantly see where they stand compared with our global leadership database.

Individual leaders and leadership teams in any private or public organization. Educators, HR professionals, coaches, psychologists, researchers; any individual or organization that wishes to improve the effectiveness of leadership and understand the underlying assumptions that drive it.

Once you schedule a debrief coaching conversation regarding your LCP results, you can expect to:

  1. Explore your current context, role, and environment
  2. Consider some key areas that influence your leadership
  3. Become aware of how the qualitative results integrate into your graph and results
  4. Gain clarity about your current results through an exploration of your LCP profile graph, scores, and report
  5. Explore new insights and considerations about the why of your results, and become more aware of what is opening up
  6. Leave with new awareness, clarity, and an action item to deepen that awareness.

Yes. Extensive psychometric analysis over a six-year period has gone into the development of the Leadership Circle Profile. It is statistically valid in every way that validity is measured. Visit our White Paper page for more information.

No. The Leadership Circle Profile is designed to catalyze developmental learning. Because this tool measures internal beliefs structures and therefore produces more powerful and vulnerable information, treating the results confidentially is of highest priority. Furthermore, the Leadership Circle Profile measures leadership abilities and is not designed to measure the kind of on-the-job performance that is tracked in a performance review process. We do recommend that the participating manager seek-out feedback about their results and that he/she include what they have been learning from the Profile in conversations with the boss.

We produced a whitepaper detailing how the LCP 360 leadership assessment compares to others which you can read about here.
