360 Feedback: Developing Leadership Return to Development/Assessment Tools

While the right technical skills are necessary to do a job well, they are limited in the absence of complementary emotional competencies and behaviors that fit with the culture of your team or organization. For this reason, we use research-based multi-rater assessments as a baseline for creating specific behavioral competency development plans for those wanting to be more effective leaders and team members.

The Hay Group’s® Emotional and Social Competency Inventory™ (ESCI), based on Daniel Goleman’s work on Emotional Intelligence, is a multi-rater tool for leadership development. The ESCI profiles an individual’s strengths, as well as areas for growth relative to emotional competencies that research has shown to be necessary for good leadership, specifically in the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.

Human Synergistics® Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) is a multi-rater assessment tool for professional growth and development that helps individuals strengthen behavioral styles that promote their effectiveness and moderate styles that prevent them from realizing their potential. Used in conjunction with individual coaching, the LSI offers invaluable and otherwise unavailable information to support self-development.
