CheckPoint 360 Assessment

360 degree assessments are an effective tool for building a development plan for leaders. CheckPoint 360™ is a simple, practical assessment that gives individuals and organizations a clear roadmap to improve leadership effectiveness.

Here’s How it Works

Process

Self-Assessment: Leaders complete an online self-evaluation, assessing their capabilities across eight key management competencies and 18 skill sets.

Feedback Gathering: Direct reports, peers, supervisors, and even customers are given the opportunity to make observations about the same behaviors. The questions are posed and confined to observations of behavior. This is a key difference with the CheckPoint360™ and keeps the feedback clear and concrete. Opinions and value judgments are minimized greatly.

Data Analysis: Once all the feedback is received, a comprehensive report is generated. The participant then gets a valuable opportunity to see:

- - Comparative analysis: An opportunity to see alignment (or lack) between the leader’s self-assessment with the observations of others.
  - Behavior specific feedback: Detailed insights into each competency, skill set, and leadership behavior provides the clarity needed to adjust and build new skills.

Development Plan: The CheckPoint360™ provides a recommended development plan with detailed prescription to improve. The participant and their supervisor can tailor the plan to address specific needs and organizational goals.

Concrete Results

Enhanced self-awareness: Leaders gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, opportunities for improvement, and how others observe their skills.

Improved leadership skills: The personalized development plan guides the leader in honing specific skills and behaviors.

Increased team effectiveness: By addressing feedback, leaders can build stronger relationships, improve communication, and boost team morale.

Better alignment with organizational goals: Identifying misalignments between individual and organizational values allows for course correction and improved goal achievement.

Reduced turnover: Addressing management issues early on can help retain valuable employees. Culture surveys consistently show that people want feedback and opportunities to grow.

CheckPoint 360™ provides a comprehensive and data-driven approach to leadership development, creating effective, well-rounded leaders who can drive positive change within organizations.

What Our Clients Have to Say

…Nancy impressed me as a TRUE professional. After my first conversation with her. The following was what I had written down on my notes: “It seems to me, Nancy finished her introduction, stated her objectives, emphasized the confidentiality, and informed me about the process, even scheduled the next meeting time/place, all within 30 minutes or so. Everything was done in a smooth and relatively slow pace, yet with absolute clarity. She emphasized wherever need to be emphasized, went over non-essential part in fast pace. Throughout her conversation, she was always calm and re-assuring. She used a lot of “we” and called me by the name whenever she wanted my attention.”

From then on, I was hooked with the coaching sessions. It felt like I had just discovered a new continent. I learned to become aware of my emotions, learned to pay attention to my bad habits (e.g. short eye contact, raising voice, use of “I” and “you”), and learned to hold my thoughts for more appropriate occasions. Working with Nancy was like a breeze, she’d guide me not by leading, but by walking alongside; she pointed out places for improvement by letting myself analyze and discover the root cause; she also gave me insights of certain situation by offering alternative views.

Overall, I went through 5 coaching sessions with Nancy. She was always well-prepared. Working with her felt like combing through the entangled mess of my own thoughts. She had the magic ability to connect with you, to sympathize with your situation, and to let you find your way out. I strongly recommend Nancy for anyone who is looking to improve his/her ability in communication/management.

Yong Sun, Product Manager

Nancy Maki is NOT a pretentious, know-it-all who will force you to follow one rigid plan to success. As a consultant and coach, Nancy uses superb listening skills to figure out your approach and unique situation. Rather than prescribe a course of action, Nancy asks gentle, exploratory questions to help you identify what is really going on and come up with solutions that work for you. Her diverse career experiences and expertise allow her to provide sample language and strategies to overcome your organizational challenges and people issues when you just don’t know where to start. Nancy empowered me to stand up for myself in the workplace and to not be afraid to tell colleagues when their behavior is “not OK.” Nancy encouraged me to set realistic and challenging goals that helped me grow as a manager in the workplace. I’m a stronger leader because Nancy’s tender, insightful feedback helped me build confidence that I am on the right path.

Jillian Henze, Senior Manager Public Relations, Washington Hospitality Association

I have taken dozens of personal and professional assessments in my long career. The program surveys were by far the most revealing and insightful I have experienced. The real benefits surfaced as Nancy walked me through the results explaining the various nuances and how they pertain to my leadership style. She helped uncover communication strategies to use with customers, peers and fellow staffers. Altogether I highly recommend her program to anyone. She goes far beyond the assessments in delivering actionable recommendations.
