Gain Crystal Clarity on Your Current State of Leadership
Understand Your Unique Development Path to Enhance Your Impact
As an executive, whether you're fully aware of your leadership goals or just exploring how others perceive your impact, soliciting feedback is a vital step. This involves reaching out to a variety of people who see your leadership in action - your boss, direct reports, peers, and other key stakeholders.
The advantages of seeking such comprehensive feedback are significant:
- 1Enhanced Self-Awareness: You gain a clearer understanding of your strengths and areas for improvement. This awareness is crucial for personal and professional growth.
- 2Improved Team Dynamics: Feedback helps you understand how your leadership style affects team morale and performance. This insight can lead to more effective communication and stronger team cohesion.
- 3Strategic Perspective: Gathering diverse viewpoints provides a well-rounded perspective of your leadership impact, allowing you to align your style more closely with organizational goals and values.
- 4Fostering a Feedback Culture: By asking for feedback, you set an example of openness and continuous learning within your organization, encouraging a culture where feedback is valued and utilized for growth

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?”
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.”
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 not only with those they work but compared with our global leadership database.
The top half of the circle maps Creative Competencies that contribute to a leader’s effectiveness. They measure key leadership behaviors and internal assumptions that lead to high fulfillment and high achievement leadership. These well-researched Creative leadership competencies measure how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your development, act with integrity and courage, and improve organizational systems.
High scores in the Creative dimensions correlate to high levels of leadership effectiveness and business performance.
The lower half of the circle maps self-limiting Reactive Tendencies and behaviors. The Reactive dimensions reflect inner beliefs and assumptions that limit effectiveness, authentic expression, and empowering leadership. Reactive leadership tendencies can emphasize caution over creating purposeful results, self-protection over engagement, or aggressiveness over partnership. These limiting tendencies each hold assumptions about what works: gaining the approval of others, protecting ideas or self-image, or winning results on my own, are a few.
High scores in the Reactive dimensions correlate to low Creative Competency scores and leadership effectiveness.
LCP gives insight into a leader’s unique Operating System: Internal Assumptions (beliefs) that run behavior in both domains. Seeing how the inner world of thought translates into an effective or ineffective leadership style can be transformative. The Leadership Circle Profile increases awareness to create what you desire as a leader.
LCP is the only 360° assessment built on the Universal Model of Leadership that has theoretical underpinnings supported by the latest and best research on leadership and adult development, all validated through statistical analysis that supports business performance and effectiveness.
The outer circle displays the results for each of the 29 dimensions measured by the LCP. The inner-circle dimensions summarize the outer circle dimensions into 8 summary scores.
The location of dimensions within the circle illustrates the relationship between dimensions. Adjacent dimensions describe similar behavior patterns that are positively correlated. Dimensions on opposite sides of the circle are opposing behavior patterns and are inversely correlated.
All scores are displayed as percentile scores compared to our global norm base; high scores are beyond the 67th percentile; low scores are below the 33rd percentile. Comprised of qualitative and quantitative data on leadership effectiveness, our database of 2.5 million surveys provides invaluable insight into a leader’s strengths and liabilities.
In addition to all the dimensions displayed in the inner and outer circle, the rectangular summary dimension scales located around the circle are intended to bring everything together. They provide useful ‘bottom-line’ measures as well as measures of key patterns within the data.
Reactive-Creative Scale reflects the degree of balance between the Creative dimensions and the Reactive dimensions.
Relationship-Task Balance measures the degree of balance a leader shows between the Achieving and Relating competencies.
Leadership Potential Utilization is a bottom-line measure that compares the overall score of the dimensions measured to that of other leaders who have taken the LCP.
Leadership Effectiveness measures the leader’s perceived level of overall effectiveness.
