Zenger Folkman’s approach makes more of simple development plans, transforming them into a new, strengths-focused lifestyle that brings science to the art of leadership.
This is not just another 360. Globally validated, high benchmark comparisons, and a strengths focus are just a few of the key differentiators of The Extraordinary Leader 360-Degree Assessment. Your leaders receive valuable, reliable feedback from others to provide the necessary foundation for their development.
Leaders integrate a highly individualized development goal selection process that focuses on where their personal competence and passions intersect with the needs of the organization, helping them concentrate their development efforts on the behaviors that will have the greatest impact.
Your leaders will benefit from a proven strengths-based development process and receive expert support to create an individualized development plan that is relevant and meaningful for them and their role within your organization. Individualized sustainment is supported by our Pulse Check Survey which allows participants to assess their progress on their specific development goals.
Zenger Folkman was founded on the prevailing research that extraordinary leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness, but rather the presence of clear strengths.
Join the 100,000+ leaders and organizations who’ve left traditional programs and are choosing to live a lifestyle that brings science to the art of leadership.
Our best-in-class instrument offers empirically derived competencies and statistically validated questions. Individual results are compared to the 75th and 90th percentile scores of all global leaders. Such comparisons are highly relevant to both your organization and its leaders; research shows that extraordinary organizational results are the product of leaders who operate in the 90th percentile of competency effectiveness.
Our global cadre of accomplished coaches, facilitators, and implementation specialists are at your fingertips. We offer the flexibility, knowledge and experience to support your unique requirements. We can also certify members of your team to confidently present the program inside your organization.
