MSI 360

Why Our 360°?

Because unlike most commercial 360's, our "Management Style & Impact" full circle instrument, is tailored to assess leader performance based on what is most critical to your organization. We link our behavior-specific questions with your unique mission, strategy, culture or goals to --

Improve Performance
Accelerate Productivity
Heighten Potential

A leader may have great intentions, but it's the perception of others that reveal a leader's true effectiveness. Before a leader can enhance their performance, they must know how others actually see them. Our MSI² captures this information in a confidential and accurate manner resulting in a feedback report that is unique to the individual. Once the feedback is known, the leader can direct their attention on improving behaviors that have been specifically identified as weak when perceived by others.

Our MSI² assessment instrument includes five to six driver questions regarding specific behaviors associated with each key managerial area. Such areas may include:

Communicating Information & Ideas
Managing Interpersonal Relationships
Risk Taking & Innovativeness

In addition, MSI² questions have been customized for a broad range of industries (e.g., Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Information Technology, Retail). The questions are geared toward actual "at work" behaviors, resulting in actionable feedback. Our feedback report is also unique in that it is reviewed and prepared by one of our psychologists (rather than a preprogrammed computer generated report). Typical Applications:

To help seasoned managers become more effective

For development of first time supervisors

Assessment of a manager's effectiveness prior to promotion or placement into a new position

Benchmark against data base of other managers

For succession planning

To target training and development activities

The Process -

The MSI² is given to a group of the manager's employees, customers, peers, and superiors to fill out. (Forms take less than 30 minutes to complete.)

The data is tallied by CMI and a composite report is prepared for the manager.

The feedback report includes a general overview of strengths and opportunities along with detailed easy-to-interpret feedback data in graphic format.

The leader develops action plans for improving specific leader behaviors.

Follow up and progress is measured by repeating the MSI2 the following year.
