CI has partnered with the Newmeasures to create a customized 360-degree assessment based on the CI Leadership Model and OPM’s Executive Core Qualifications. 360-degree feedback is a method of systematically collecting opinions about an individual’s performance from a wide range of coworkers. This can include peers, direct reports, the boss, or the boss’s peers — along with people outside the organization, such as customers. The benefits of collecting data of this kind are that the person gets to see a panorama of perceptions rather than just self-perception, which affords a more complete picture. The Mile Marker 360-degree instrument provides a consistent reporting format to help organizations measure leadership development against OPM leadership competencies. It helps leaders understand areas of recognized and unrecognized genius, recognized opportunities for development, and blind spots. The assessment then presents these same areas of strength and opportunity within the framework of Cl’s leadership model, in which effective leadership occurs at the intersection of dear goals, strong relationships and effective communication.
This 360-degree assessment takes approximately 15 minutes to complete for the individual and the raters.
Certification is required to administer and provide feedback.
Benefits
The Mile Marker 360 is designed specifically for federal agency leaders, and includes norm group comparisons only with others in the same agency, rather than with participants in outside organizations, including within the private sector. As with any 360, it provides insight from multiple perspectives. It can be processed in both an individual and group setting, but individual coaching is more effective. The survey takes less time to complete than many other assessments, and the results are presented in a dear and easy to understand manner. The framing of results against the CI Leadership Model and OPM’s ECQs affords more specific opportunities for leadership development coaching.
Considerations
If done in a team setting, it can involve an investment of time amounting to several hours for each team member.
