360 Leadership Reviews

The Review

The 360 Leadership Review utilizes a survey instrument designed by James Kouzes and Barry Posner to assess the usage of five key leadership practices and compare individual results to a database of thousands of participants.Research performed by Kouzes and Posner over two decades identified five practices that were common to most extraordinary leadership achievements:

• Modeling the way
• Inspiring a shared vision
• Challenging the process
• Enabling others to act
• Encouraging the heart

The process for providing the review consists of four steps:

1. Six observers are chosen by the participant and his/her manager to provide 360 degree feedback.Typically this will be the participant’s manager, 2-3 co-workers, and 2-3 direct reports.
2. Choice Solutions administers the survey and solicits anecdotal feedback from the observers to provide additional depth of review.
3. Survey results are compiled and a report is generated.
4. In a meeting with the participant and his/her manager, Choice Solutions reviews the report, areas for improvement are identified, and a development plan is initiated.
