Leadership360
Leadership360 is a comprehensive feedback tool designed to provide a holistic and well-rounded look at an individual’s leadership capabilities. Unlike traditional performance reviews, Leadership360 gathers insights from multiple perspectives, including self-reflection, feedback from peers, direct reports, management, and other stakeholders. This panoramic approach offers a more nuanced understanding of a leader’s strengths, leadership behaviours and areas for development.

Benefits of Leadership360
Leaders reflect on their own performance, considering their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for development.
Colleagues at the same hierarchical level provide feedback on the leader's collaborative and interpersonal skills, teamwork, and communication.
Direct reports share their perspectives on the leader's management style, communication, and effectiveness in fostering a positive work environment.
Managers or higher-level executives review the leader's alignment with school goals, strategic thinking, and overall leadership impact.
Input may be collected from the wider school community to better understand the leader's impact beyond the immediate school staff.
By incorporating feedback from various sources, Leadership360 provides comprehensive insights and a nuanced understanding of a leader’s performance.
Leaders gain insights into aspects of their leadership style or leadership behaviours that they might not be aware of, helping them address what can be referred to as blind spots. The feedback received serves as a valuable developmental tool, guiding leaders in areas for self-motivated improvement and growth.
Leaders gain a deeper understanding of how their actions and decisions are perceived, fostering increased self-awareness. Responding to leadership gaps can positively impact team dynamics, staff engagement and reduce the likelihood of workplace adversity.
Leadership360 provides a more objective and well-rounded set of metrics compared to a single-source evaluation.
