What Is a 360° Leadership Assessment?

A 360° Leadership Assessment is a comprehensive feedback system that evaluates a leader’s competencies from multiple perspectives, including manager, direct reports, peers, and self-assessment.

Unlike single-source evaluations, the 360° methodology combines multiple data sources to reveal a leader’s true performance profile.

Based on over 1.6 million assessments and more than 30 years of research, this methodology is widely recognized as a gold standard for leadership development and is used by more than 2,500 organizations worldwide.
