KF360 Leadership Skills Assessment

The more specific you are in describing the kind of leader you want to be - the more effective you will be at leading others.

Built on the best practices and decades of research behind the Korn Ferry Leadership Architect, the KF360 Leadership Skills Assessment program creates a shared language, definitions, and benchmarks for the competencies common to the most effective leaders. The KF360 Assessment has been effectively adapted for individuals seeking to level-up their leadership skills (for current and potential new jobs), teams looking to increase effectiveness, and organizations transforming to a “people-centered” culture.

Each participant takes the Korn Ferry 360, a confidential survey combining feedback from the participant’s self-appraisal, their direct manager, direct reports, peers, internal and external “customers,” and others they select. The resulting report - and especially the coached, one-on-one feedback session – help participants answer three questions to help enhance their leadership skills:

  • What observable and measurable skills do people in my span of influence need from me?

  • What key leadership behaviors are people I work with noticing?

  • What should I focus on to unleash my leadership potential?

Key to our method is making sure the 360 data is translated into living, growing practices that improve the level of human powered leadership in the organization.

Who it’s for:

  • Senior leaders, business owners and entrepreneurs who want to wire “best-practices” leadership competencies into the way they lead their teams

  • Change and Succession Planning Leaders who are assessing existing and potential leaders for development.  Used with teams, the KF360 program is also greater for identifying strengths you already have and leadership competencies missing for high-performing teams

  • People strategizing for their next gig in their current role or looking to define “What’s next?”

Participants leave with:

  • An overview of the Korn Ferry Leadership Architect, framework to drive higher business performance and success by effectively managing your most important asset – you and your talent.

  • A defined list of the leadership competencies key to your personal, team, or organizational values and purpose

  • Descriptions and examples of the specific behaviors that make up each competency

  • A detailed feedback report with rating and examples of how individual leaders use those competencies with people in their span of influence

  • Goals and a plan for leveraging strengths and developing key areas for improvement

  • Specific action steps to use the information for building culture and teams, developing leadership, or personal growth

  • Resources for continued exploration

The process:

The program is a mix of live (virtual or in-person) coaching sessions, self-directed learning between sessions, a robust (and anonymous!) multi-rater assessment of leadership competencies, and a plan to leverage strengths and develop areas for improvement.
