The values and beliefs of a leader are instrumental in determining the culture of an organization. Organizational transformation begins with the personal transformation of the leaders.
The best way to improve your personal mastery skills is to receive regular feedback from your boss, your peers, and your subordinates.
Provide a benchmark for a leader to see how they show up and how others experience them. Review what their assessors believe will help them develop on their leadership journey and create an action plan for next steps.
Carry out a second assessment and receive a new Leadership Development Report and additional charts, which map changes from the previous review. Use this to build upon the leader’s action plan.
Chart additional progress in a third review, which shows development over the period and provides a view of possible next steps.
The Leadership Evolution Report is an extension of the Leadership Development Report. It is designed to support an ongoing leadership development program by helping coaches and leaders understand the actions a leader needs to take to realize his or her full potential. The Leadership Development Report compares a leader’s perception of his or her operating style with the perception of their superiors, peers, and subordinates. The process is repeated on two subsequent occasions to track progress.
The Leadership Evolution Report starts in year one with a Leadership Development Report, which shows a leader how their leadership style is perceived by their assessors and allows them to compare this to their own view of how they lead others. In addition, assessors will identify the 10 values/behaviors which they believe will help the leader to become the best they can be. The report also identifies 18 areas, mapped to the Barrett Leadership Model, against which both leaders and their assessors have clarified to what extent they believe the area to be a strength, an area for development or not relevant in their current role. This data helps leaders and their coaches put together an action plan to support them in their continuing development.
On two subsequent occasions, the Leadership Development Report process will be repeated but the report produced will be a Leadership Evolution Report which builds on the Leadership Development Report and provides additional plots to show progress from the previous report(s). A table maps the percentage strength the leader demonstrates against each of the behavior statements over the period.
The Leadership Evolution Report uses a standard leadership values template. Clients can choose to customize this template at an additional cost. Leaders are asked to go to a password-protected website to select ten values that most represent their operating style. They are then asked to rate themselves against a number of set leadership behaviors to state whether they believe these are strengths or areas for development. Fifteen to twenty assessors, chosen by the leader, select ten values that represent the leader’s operating style; ten values they believe are important for the leader to help them become the best leader they can be; rate the leader against a number of leadership behaviors; and any other comments they wish to give as feedback to the leader. The values and behaviors chosen by the leader and the assessors are mapped to the Barrett Leadership Model.
The LER should be analyzed by a coach to highlight key strengths and development areas and progress made, as appropriate and is debriefed in a two-to-three hour feedback session. The leader and the coach together build and monitor a detailed action plan to improve the performance of the leader over the period.
