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 era. 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 supported by needed mindset shifts.

Next workshop

Four virtual half-days over October 24-27, 2023. See details below.

The Leadership Agility 360 is for you, if you are:

  • An experienced leadership coach
  • An Agilist who works with leaders
  • A leadership development professional, who wants to incorporate into their programming a proven approach to developing Leadership Agility

The instrument itself was designed with executives and high-potentials very much in mind. But has been extensively and successfully used with managers all organizational levels, who lead teams (even informal ones) and have responsibility for leading organizational change or improvement projects of any size.

How do you know this 360 is for you or your organization?

  • Provides a behaviorally-specific road-map that guides leaders to their next level of agility.
  • Provides a Development Planner with action-plan template that helps you and your client create a powerful, coaching agenda, one that not only captures your client’s desired behavioral changes, but also identifies the shift in mindset needed to bring about new behaviors.
  • Has a well thought-through process for use with groups as well as individuals.
  • Gives you something fresh and new to further differential yourself as a coach who uses highly relevant, leading-edge methodologies.
