Leadership 360 Feedback: How Others Experience Your Leaders
Personality assessments tell you what a leader is like — 360 feedback tells you how they're experienced. PPI offers both custom and validated off-the-shelf 360 instruments, designed by I/O psychologists with decades of feedback experience.
The blind spot problem in leadership development
Leaders consistently overestimate how well their leadership behaviors are landing with their teams. Research shows that this gap between self-perception and others' experience is one of the most significant development barriers at the executive and senior management levels.
360-degree feedback closes that gap — providing leaders with structured, anonymous input from direct reports, peers, and managers that surfaces behaviors they simply cannot see in themselves.
Our 360 approach
PPI runs its 360 feedback programs on a dashboard-based platform — pairing a validated, behavior-based framework with reporting built for fast, actionable insight.
Dashboard-Based Reporting
Results live in an interactive online dashboard — not just a static report, though a PDF summary is included too. It's a faster, more responsive experience than the Hogan 360, making it easy to digest feedback and home in on strengths and opportunities.
Compare Rating Groups Instantly
Isolate and compare specific rater groups side by side — self vs. direct reports, self vs. manager, and more — to see exactly where perceptions align or diverge.
Hogan Crosswalk
When a Hogan assessment is part of the project, we map 360 results back to Hogan scales — showing how a leader is wired to behave, and how that wiring is actually showing up day to day.
Validated, Behavior-Based Framework
Built on decades of leadership research, our competencies measure observable behaviors — not just traits — so results translate directly into a development plan.
Off-the-Shelf or Custom
Choose from ready-made 360 instruments, or work with us to build a survey around your organization's own leadership competencies.
Flexible Debrief Options
Your own team can debrief participants directly using the report, or engage a PPI-certified consultant for a one-on-one debrief that contextualizes results and facilitates development planning — available as an added service.
