Insight that Accelerates Effectiveness

The Leadership Circle Profile is designed to accelerate leadership effectiveness beyond traditional competency-based approaches. When it comes to developing leaders, training to competencies alone does not work very well. For more rapid and lasting results, it is crucial that organisations help leaders gain deeper insight into their behavior and what is driving it. The Leadership Circle Profile™ is the only 360 competency assessment that simultaneously provides focused competency feedback while revealing the underlying assumptions that are causing a leader’s pattern of strengths and limitations.  The Leadership Circle Profile helps leaders understand the relationship between how they habitually think and how they behave—and how all this impacts their current level of leadership effectiveness. Once this awareness is established, leadership development can proceed. Without it, change rarely happens.

While most 360 assessments tell you only what is or is not contributing to a leader’s effectiveness, the Leadership Circle Profile also tells you “why” this is so. It gives the leader insight into what is happening beneath the surface that is causative.  This powerful difference puts TLCP in a class of its own. The Leadership Circle Profile is the only 360° profile that measures both competency and underlying assumptions and it does so in two primary leadership domains: Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies.

Two Domains of Leadership

• Creative competencies are well-researched competencies that measure how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your own development, act with integrity, and encourage and improve organizational systems.
• Reactive tendencies are leadership styles that emphasize caution over creating results, self-protection over productive engagement, and aggression over building alignment. These self-limiting styles overemphasize the focus on gaining the approval of others, protecting yourself and getting results through high control tactics.

Then, the Leadership Circle Profile integrates this information so that key opportunities for development immediately rise to the surface.  Most importantly, the Leadership Circle Profile is unique in that it reveals a leader’s operating system–the internal assumptions or beliefs that guide behavior in both domains. This system allows managers and leaders to see how their inner world translates into a effective or ineffective leadership. Using this approach increases the inner awareness that correspondingly affects outward behavior.
