Observations 360°®

The quality of leadership in organizations makes the difference between success and failure. Being a leader is a challenging and complex task—how individuals perform as leaders makes the difference between achieving high performance and something less. To help leaders identify important development areas and assist in changing behaviors, MDA offers a comprehensive 360-degree survey tool that is based on MDA's Competency Model below and reflects what we believe are the important dimensions of leadership at multiple levels of organizations. MDA Observations 360° awakens leaders by providing them with concrete data about how others view them and how they can enhance their style and effectiveness. It is a cost effective approach for supporting large-scale or ongoing leadership development programs as well as comprehensive assessment or executive coaching engagements.

Individual Development Planning

MDA’s Development Assessment and Observations 360° are proven tools for providing leaders with critical insight into their leadership strengths and development opportunities. We believe this insight should be used in an effort to create and reinforce sustained behavior change and/or skill development that results in increased organizational effectiveness. The worst possible outcome of any assessment or survey report is that the results sit on the shelf. MDA emphasizes the need for intentional development planning and is skilled in the steps needed to achieve leadership development success. MDA coaches help leaders to translate their feedback into action plans that are aligned with the needs of the organization and supported by management expectations. Individual development planning is the critical step in helping leaders awaken, align, and accelerate leadership capabilities and impact organizational performance, and shouldn’t be left to chance.
