Breakthrough in 360-degree Assessments Reveals Underlying Causes of Behaviour.

“Not just WHAT, but WHY”

A breakthrough in 360-degree leadership assessments is now available in the UK and Ireland. Called “The Leadership Circle Profile”, and available exclusively from The Leadership Circle www.theleadershipcircle.co.uk, this major step forward adds incredibly powerful new revelations to the assessment of competencies provided by previous 360-degree assessments.

Launching the revolutionary technique in the UK and Ireland, The Leadership Circle director Paul Matthews said, “Conventional 360-degree assessment tools will tell you ‘WHAT’ is going on with a manager, but The Leadership Circle Profile will go much further and also tell you “WHY”.

Matthews explained that having this greater insight give CEO’s, Directors, HR professional and coaches – as well as the managers undergoing development – the whole picture. “It goes straight to the source of behaviour giving much greater leverage on change”. The technique also allows managers to gain a much greater insight into what is working, what is not – and most importantly the underlying reasons.

Although only just launched in the UK and Ireland, The Leadership Circle Profile 360-degree tool is widely used in the USA as well as in Asia Pacific & South Africa. A global coach training organisation has adopted The Leadership Circle as part of their leadership coaching training programme and together with its companion The Leadership Culture Survey it is used by some 500 leading organisations including American Express, Barclays, FedEx, IBM and McDonalds – right through to Sony and the World Bank.

With such credentials backing him up, Matthews claims, “the Leadership Circle Profile is so powerful because it enables managers to start their development at a breakthrough, and not have to waste months trying to get to that point”. Leo Burke, director of executive education at Notre Dame University agrees, stating, “The Leadership Circle Profile is extraordinary for accelerating the development of leaders. It’s world-class and we’ve integrated it into our MBA and our non-degree leadership programs.”

Leadership development is widely recognised as a process of transformation whereby leaders are encouraged to make a profound shift. The Leadership Circle is devoted to core behavioural research and the development and implementation of tools and techniques to improve this process for the benefit of both employers and employees.

About the Leadership Circle:

The Leadership Circle (TLC) is a leadership development company committed to cultivating more than mere leadership competencies. We support leadership transformation–change that evolves authentically from the inside out. We offer tools, methodology and support for “deepening the conversation” with leaders so that the transformation to “LEADER” can occur on a deep, significant, life changing level.

The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP)

TLCP is a true breakthrough among 360-degree assessments. It is the first to connect a well-researched battery of competencies with the deep motivations and underlying habits of thought. It reveals the relationship between patterns of action and the internal assumptions that drive behaviour. Ultimately, TLCP gives you the whole picture, going to the source of behaviour to get greater leverage on change. It gets leaders in touch with what is working, what is not, and the reason.

The Leadership Culture Survey (TLCS)

TLCS reveals how organisations and teams view their current leadership culture and compares that reality to the optimal culture they desire. The “gap” reveals key opportunities for leadership development. TLCS is not a climate survey: it identifies, with precision, how leadership is impacting your turnover, productivity, and bottom-line metrics. With laser accuracy, it indicates a clear pathway for change.
