An online 360 degree program that provides an assessment of a manager's leadership skills
as
perceived by others
March, 2005 - An innovative online leadership development program offer through Profiles
International's unique
Checkpoint 360 Degree Feedback System. The program combines direct feedback by direct
reports, peers, and
supervisor, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that
feedback. By learning
the perceptions of the people around the leader you can identify and capture both the
leader's strengths as well as
areas that require development.
Employees don't quit companies, they quit managers. That is why it is critical to discover how
a manager's perception
of themselves compares to the perception their peers, subordinates, and superior have of
them. Perception equals
fact, but unless it is measured, it can't be changed. The result of not knowing a manager's
perceived weaknesses is
typically employee turnover.
Deploying the 360 degree survey is very easy. Leaders and the people who they interact with
the most participate in
a 20 minute online survey that evaluates 18 critical skill sets. Anonymity is maintained by
grouping the participants'
answers. A powerful, full color report is created showing areas of alignment as well as gaps in
the perception of their
skills. This report provides tangible information to help the leader as well as the organization
improve. From that
point, leaders are able to participate in an individualized Skillbuilder series of programs to
build on the area identified
through the Checkpoint 360 Degree Feedback System.
