Leadership Circle Profile® 360° leadership assessment
The Leadership Circle Profile® (LCP) from Leadership Circle® is a comprehensive 360-degree leadership assessment. It shows leaders how they see themselves, how others experience their leadership, and where their intention and impact may be in or out of alignment.
The LCP connects leadership behaviors with the underlying beliefs, assumptions and aspects of identity that shape how a leader shows up, especially under pressure.
We use the LCP with individual executives, leadership teams and leadership development cohorts to build self-awareness, strengthen leadership effectiveness and create a starting point for meaningful, lasting growth.
Why the Leadership Circle Profile
Most 360-degree feedback assessments identify leadership strengths and development opportunities. The Leadership Circle Profile goes further.
It helps leaders see where their intention and impact are aligned and where there may be a gap. Then it helps them explore what sits underneath those behaviors: the beliefs, assumptions and identity that shape how they lead, particularly under pressure.
That deeper awareness creates the opportunity for real choice and lasting change.
What the Leadership Circle Profile measures
The Leadership Circle Profile combines a self-assessment with 360-degree feedback from the people who experience a leader's leadership, including their manager, peers, direct reports and others.
Built on more than 20 years of data from over 460,000 leaders worldwide, it looks at leadership across two primary domains:
Leadership strengths and behaviors connected to purpose, authenticity, relationships, self-awareness, systems awareness and achieving results.
Patterns that can emerge when leaders operate from fear, self-protection, control or the need for approval.
Together, these give a clear picture of a leader's effectiveness and the patterns that help or hold them back.
Leadership is not limited to a job title, and some of the most revealing feedback comes from outside the office. Think about where else you lead or step up: a board or committee you volunteer with, your children's sports teams, a faith, cultural or community group. People who have watched you handle a deadline, a disagreement or a setback can see patterns that colleagues sometimes miss.
We recommend at least 10 responses for a well-rounded report. More is better.
How is the LCP different from an internal 360?
Many organizations already use internal 360-degree feedback assessments. These can provide valuable information about how a leader is performing against the organization's leadership competencies.
The Leadership Circle Profile adds another layer. It opens up deeper development work around why a leader leads the way they do.
The primary differentiator is the work around identity.
The LCP connects identity → mindset → behavior → impact, giving leaders greater insight into the patterns that shape their leadership and the opportunity to make more intentional choices about the leader they want to become.
An internal 360 can tell you how you're showing up. The LCP helps you understand what may be driving it.
Leadership development for organizations
One Leadership Circle Profile can create a breakthrough for an individual leader.
Across a leadership team or cohort, it creates something more: a shared language for understanding leadership effectiveness, recognizing patterns and talking about development across the organization.
We use the LCP as the foundation for:
Each leader receives their own 360-degree assessment and an individual debrief with a Leadership Circle® Certified Practitioner. From there, we help organizations turn individual insight into shared learning, stronger leadership and meaningful behavior change.
Why Coaching 4 Good uses the LCP
Our leadership development work starts from the inside out, which is why the Leadership Circle Profile integrates so naturally with the other frameworks and methodologies we use.
The LCP shows leaders who they believe they need to be and how that shapes the way they lead. But insight alone doesn't create change.
We integrate what leaders learn through their LCP with frameworks like Dare to Lead™ and Conscious Leadership, helping them turn awareness into new choices and practice those choices in the moments that matter. The LCP helps leaders see the patterns. Our broader leadership development work gives them tools to work with those patterns and choose differently.
When a leader changes how they show up, it doesn't stop with them. It changes conversations, relationships, teams and ultimately the organization around them. That change has a ripple effect.
The LCP is the foundation that makes the development work that follows more effective.

How the LCP works for organizations
01
We learn about your leaders, your organization and the leadership capabilities you are trying to develop.
02
Each leader selects raters who experience their leadership from different perspectives.
03
A Leadership Circle® Certified Practitioner helps them understand their results, explore what may be underneath their patterns and create a focused development plan.
04
Pairing the LCP with coaching gives leaders time to work through their development plan, practice new behaviors in real situations and adjust along the way, so the change reaches their teams and organization.
The LCP can also become the foundation for team development, workshops or a broader leadership development program.
Each leader's report is confidential between them and their coach. When an organization sponsors the assessment, each leader decides what they share.

From purchase to debrief typically takes about four to six weeks, depending on how quickly raters respond.
Continue the leadership development
A 360 assessment creates awareness. What leaders do with that awareness is where leadership development happens.
For the greatest impact, we recommend 6 to 12 months of coaching following the LCP. This gives leaders ongoing space to work their development plan, notice old patterns as they emerge, experiment with new behaviors and turn new choices into new ways of leading.
For organizations, the LCP can also become the foundation for leadership cohorts, team development, workshops and longer-term leadership development programs.
Whether you are developing one executive, a leadership team or an entire cohort, the Leadership Circle Profile® creates a strong starting point for deeper leadership development and lasting change.
Let's talk about what you're trying to create and how we can help turn insight into impact.
