This unique leadership assessment gives the manager a clear picture of their impact, strengths, and development opportunities.  

Laurie Maddalena is professionally certified to administer The Leadership Circle Profile which is the only 360 degree assessment that measures the two primary leadership domains — creative competencies and reactive tendencies — and integrates this information so that they key opportunities for development immediately rise to the surface.  

This profile is a true breakthrough among 360 degree assessments. It 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.

Benefits of the assessment include:

• Reveals to the leader what is going on beneath the surface (what may be keeping him/her stuck in old patterns of behavior), as it cultivates deeper personal awareness.
• Enhances the value of coaching and saves time. A coach instantly sees the whole integrated picture. Coaching can start at an advanced level.
• Aids in developing teamwork and in succession planning.
• Provides a comprehensive metric for tracking leadership development and cultural change and facilitates ongoing performance management.
• Allows an organization to measure itself against a large norm-base of similar companies.

This profile is a powerful tool for individuals and is often used as a springboard for the professional coaching relationship.  

The assessment process includes the administration of the profile, a two hour feedback session where a professional coach partners with the manager to identify strengths and opportunities, as well as a half hour follow-up coaching call.  

This profile is very effective when combined with the ongoing coaching relationship.

The EQ360 is a 360 degree instrument with a difference: rather than measuring job performance, the EQ360 gives the individual a full 360 degree perspective on how their colleagues’ perceptions of their emotional intelligence compares to their own perception of these EQ elements. This is a powerful tool to bring perspective and insight to leaders so they can improve their emotional and interpersonal interactions.
