Leadership Agility 360 Certification Program 

THE LEADERSHIP AGILITY® 360

The unique features of the Leadership Agility 360 make it perhaps the world’s most relevant and actionable 360-feedback process for today’s world. This scientifically validated instrument is based on the 5 years of research underlying the award-winning Leadership Agility book. The instrument assesses a manager’s "leadership agility level" in three key action arenas: leading organizational change, leading teams, and pivotal conversations. The process used to orient clients and debrief the feedback fosters psychological safety and results in a powerful coaching agenda that helps leaders adopt new leadership practices as well as mindsets that support them.

Who is the Leadership Agility 360 for?

• Experienced leadership coaches
• Agilists who work with leaders
• Leadership development professionals, who want to incorporate a proven approach to developing Leadership Agility into their programming

The instrument itself was designed with executives and high-potentials very much in mind. However, it has been extensively and successfully used with managers at all organizational levels.

How do I know this 360 is for me or my organization?
