Leadership Circle 360 Profile

The Leadership Circle 360 Profile is a breakthrough 360 Degree Profile that gives you the whole picture. This tool goes beyond the usual list of leadership competencies and takes it to the next level. What's unique about this leadership profile is the way it measures the two primary leadership domains - Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies - and integrates this information so the key opportunities for development rise to the surface. It not only shows where a leader stands in relation to 18 recognized leadership competencies, it also reveals the underlying through patterns and beliefs that are preventing them from reaching their full potential. Ultimately, this leadership 360 profile increases the inner awareness that affects outward behaviour.

Team Management Systems Suite of Products

Team Management Systems - recognized internationally as the foremost integrated work-based assessment system - offers research-proven assessments that reveal critical dynamics to enable the development of high performance in the workplace.

People tend to practice what they prefer and therefore perform better in those areas that match their work preference.

Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team, and organizational performance. Team Management Systems' Team Management Profile Questionnaire (TMPQ) is a 60-item assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual's approach to work. Based on the responses to the TMPQ, the Personal Team Management Profile provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual's work preferences, based on the Team Management Wheel, and the strengths that an individual brings to a team.
