Leadership Circle Assessment
Effective Leaders Outperform Ineffective Leaders Every Time
The Power of the 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?”
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 the global leadership database.
Developing effective leaders within any organization starts with giving each leader a comprehensive and easy to understand picture of how their closest coworkers currently experience their leadership. A true breakthrough among 360-degree assessments, the Leadership Circle Profile™ provides this picture better than any other instrument available today. The survey is administered online and is the first to connect a well-researched battery of competencies with the underlying and motivating habits of thought. It reveals the relationship between patterns of action and internal assumptions that drive behavior.
Ultimately, the comprehensive results provided by the Leadership Circle Profile™ quickly and clearly highlight how improvement in one or two leadership qualities can have an exponential impact on the leader’s effectiveness.
The Leadership Circle Profile™ assessment will survey each leader’s boss (boss’s boss is optional), peers, direct reports, and others about their perception of the individual’s leadership. It’s a powerful insight that provides the whole picture of a leader. Unlike other 360° assessments, the Leadership Circle Profile measures two crucial leadership domains – Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies and integrates information in a way that the key areas for development and strengths rise to the surface. Ratings for each leader on competencies and tendencies are reported in terms of their comparison to the global statistical database.

Implications for Leaders:
Unlock Your Greatest Leadership Potential
Victoria supports leaders to achieve vertical development toward higher order stages of adult development. Leaders who choose to engage this process uncover and realize their full potential.
Leaders discover how to leverage the Creative Competencies they already have and how to amplify and expand new access points in all areas of their lives.
Leaders can expect to overcome old patterns that hold them back from their greatest leadership effectiveness and leadership potential through greater awareness of their unique makeup of Reactive Tendencies. At worst these Reactive Tendencies can derail a current role at work (career limiting move) or unnecessarily destroy what was once a loving relationship at home.
Ever go from 0 to 100 in an instant? You’ve identified a Reactive Tendency at play.
What almost certainly happens for all of us when a Reactive Tendency has hooked us is an incongruency with our values; we are unable to choose how we want to engage and we’re compelled by an old strategy that has outlived its usefulness.
Gaining insight from the Leadership Circle can prevent these situations from happening in the first place. And when they do happen, leaders are resourced with the know-how to drastically reduce the harsh self-imposed rumination (interpersonal hangover that results in an inner critic attack) that is often connected to these pitfalls and accelerate the return back to peace and power of mind (emotional agility and restored dignity).
Have one or two Reactive Tendencies that might be tripping you? You’re in good company, we all do, especially when the conditions are stressful.
There’s something we can do about it: we can build awareness, understanding of what’s happening within us, and what to do about it that keeps us in integrity with ourselves.
Through the support of the Leadership Circle instrument and with an experienced coach as your guide, leading with less effort and more ease (and a lot more grace) becomes practically accessible. Want more of that in your leadership and in your life?
