The continuous development of employees is critical to the ongoing success of any organization. This is especially important to leaders who are accountable for developing their people and delivering expected results. Therefore, it is imperative that employees find ways to share perceptions of individual effectiveness so individual and collective performance can improve.

The EDGE360º for Leaders assessment is one of the key development tools used to provide input on the alignment of behaviors and leadership core competencies. The EDGE360º for Leaders provides each employee with a multi-sourced picture of his or her performance as perceived by others. Each core competency has a set of behavioral statements that the feedback provider uses to give input on a leader's effectiveness.

Each employee and his or her manager will gather feedback from those people with whom he or she works most often: peers, direct reports, other managers, and internal/external customers. These individuals hold valuable observations regarding performance, when if shared, and combined, can be a powerful and helpful tool for achieving individual development and growth. Each participant receives a comprehensive 60+ page report that includes: a competency summary report, gap analysis, strengths and developmental needs, importance rankings of twelve core leadership competencies, item/behavior details, and a confidential comments section.
