The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP)

The Leadership Circle Profile is the only 360 degree assessment that measures the two primary leadership domains—Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies—and integrates this information so that the key opportunities for development immediately rise to the surface.

Creative Competencies are well-researched competencies that measure 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 are leadership styles that emphasize caution over creating results, self-protection over productive engagement, and aggressiveness over building alignment. These self-limiting styles overemphasize the focus on gaining the approval of others, protecting yourself, and getting results through high control tactics.

A New Standard for Leadership Development

Unlike most 360 degree assessments, TLCP is a world beyond a mere laundry list of behaviors. The Leadership Circle Profile integrates well-researched leadership competencies into a unified framework. This framework accelerates insight, deepens awareness, and highlights leverage points for change.

Go Deeper for a Clearer Picture

TLCP reveals a leader's "operating system," the internal assumptions (beliefs) that run behavior in both creative and reactive domains. The manager will see how his or her inner world of thought is translating into a productive or unproductive style of leadership. Essentially, TLCP increases inner awareness to positively affect outward behavior.

Key Features of TLCP

Displays Results Within a High Impact Framework
Where most 360 degree assessments merely rank order scores in a linear fashion, TLCP's circle framework enables leaders to see at one glance—without laboring over volumes of data—both how they are doing and where the optimal areas lie for their leadership development. The graphic elegantly displays the critical relationships between strengths and weaknesses, creative competencies and reactive tendencies, and the interaction between inner assumptions and outer behavior.

State of the Art Internet Capable
The Leadership Circle Profile is completely administered through the internet. In a very user-friendly environment, participants can fill out the profile on themselves and request feedback from others. For follow-on coaching activity, coaches and even direct managers can easily log in to review goals, monitor progress and provide timely feedback.

Extensive Support Materials
Feedback reports are included in an extensive binder of support material. Detailed numeric data is efficiently organized for digging into the specifics. All dimensions are described in sufficient depth and clarity so as to support ongoing learning and reflection. Extensive awareness and action planning guides are included. Learning resources and contact information are provided. Leaders also have access to an interactive web site for further learning. In short, support materials facilitate reflection, learning, and behavior change long into the future.

Flexible
Your organization can receive summary data on any division, department, or team that will support organizational measurement needs. Data report-out options are available. Self-report data can be compared to an average score of all those providing feedback, and/or feedback can be split out by boss, peer, and direct reports. If your organization has key competencies that need to be measured in addition to, or instead of, the dimensions included in TLCP, this tool is fully customizable to your organizational culture.

Rich Research Base
The Leadership Circle Profile is a world class, thoroughly researched and validated instrument. Construct validity is unparalleled. There is a more thorough and solid theoretical base with this instrument than with any other instrument of its type. Some of the theories reflected are:

• Creative Tension (Fritz, Senge, Keifer)
• Patriarchy vs. Partnership (Block)
• Cognitive Psychology (Ellis, Burns)
• Emotional Intelligence (Goleman)
• Character Structure (Horney)
• Stages of Development (Wilbur, Kegan, Kohlberg)
• Ego/Shadow (Jung)
• Enneagram
• Leadership Research and Literature
