The Leadership Circle

LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains – Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies – and integrates this information so that key opportunities for leadership development immediately rise to the surface. Administered and debriefed by a Certified Practitioner who specializes in your industry and organizational needs, the Leadership Circle Profile assessment and debrief process is specifically tailored to every individual’s development.

THREE TOOLS IN ONE

Most 360° profiles focus on either Management Style and Personality, Competencies, or Underlying Tendencies.
The Leadership Circle Profile combines all three of these areas into one comprehensive, accessible tool.

Creative Competencies

Well-researched competencies measuring how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your own development, act with integrity and courage, and improve organizational systems.

Reactive Tendencies

Leadership styles emphasizing caution over creating results, self-protection over productive engagement, and aggression over building alignment. These self-limiting styles over emphasize the focus on gaining the approval of others, protecting yourself, and getting results through high control tactics.

Personality

A leader’s unique Operating System: Internal Assumptions (beliefs) that run behavior in both domains. This allows the manager to see how his/her inner world of thought translates into a productive or unproductive style of leadership. Ultimately, the Leadership Circle Profile increases the inner awareness that affects outward behavior.

THE CREATIVE/REACTIVE FRAMEWORK

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only 360 degree profile that measures both competency and underlying assumptions and it does so in two primary leadership domains: Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies.

CREATIVE & REACTIVE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILES

CREATIVE LEADERSHIP

The top half of the circle maps Creative Competencies that contribute to a leader’s effectiveness.
They measure how you achieve results, bring out the best in others, lead with vision, enhance your own development,
act with integrity, and improve organizational systems.

High scores in the Creative dimensions correlate to high levels of leadership effectiveness, and subsequently high levels of business performance.

REACTIVE LEADERSHIP

The lower half of the circle maps self-limiting Reactive tendencies and leadership behaviors.
The Reactive tendencies emphasize caution over creating results, self-protection over productive engagement, aggression over building alignment, and control over collaboration.

High scores in the Reactive dimensions correlate to low Creative Competency scores, and low levels of leadership effectiveness overall.

THE 4 QUADRANTS OF THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE

CREATIVE COMPETENCIES

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, high achievement leadership.

RELATIONSHIP

The left half of the circle maps relationship behaviors in both the creative and reactive hemispheres.
This is how you relate with those you interact with on a daily basis.

REACTIVE TENDENCIES

The lower half of the circle maps self-limiting Reactive Tendencies and leadership behaviors. The Reactive dimensions reflect inner beliefs and assumptions that limit effectiveness, authentic expression, and empowering leadership.

TASK

The right half of the circle maps the ability and style through which you engage with work.
The Task dimensions show either your creative abilities to accomplish whatever task is at hand, or a reactive style to push yourself and others to desired states of performance.
