On completion of the Self-Assessment leaders participate in a one-hour Client Debriefing session with an accredited Future-Fit Leadership coach. During this session, leaders discuss their assessment results, delve into their development goals, learn how to leverage their strengths, and establish impactful growth objectives while addressing any obstacles hindering their progress.

360° Assessment
In the dynamic digital work environment of today, leaders are required to build their own and their team’s future-ready capabilities and lead the transformation of their organization. The Future-Fit Leadership 360° Assessment is a practical online tool that can be completed in approximately 40 minutes.
Having completed their own self-rating, leaders nominate up to 12 respondents who can offer valuable feedback and observations on the leader’s behaviors and leadership style. The 360° Report, which includes self-assessment and feedback from peers, direct reports, supervisors, and other stakeholders, provides a comprehensive view of the leader’s strengths and potential areas for development.
This assessment is structured around the eight core Future-Fit leadership practices: Self-Awareness, Learning & Growth, Adaptiveness, Collaboration, Empowerment, Innovation & Creativity, Inclusion, and Sustainability leadership. These eight Future-Fit Leadership Capabilities and Sub-Competences have been rigorously researched and align with the essential requirements for effective leadership in today’s fast-paced digital environment.
The 360° Assessment report highlights both the highest and lowest scores, combining the leader’s self-assessment with ratings from the group of 12 respondents. This report forms the foundation for the leader’s ongoing journey of self-improvement and personal development. The feedback, along with guided introspection, offers a robust basis for their growth.
Following the completion of the 360° Self-Assessment, leaders participate in a one-hour Client Debriefing session with an accredited Future-Fit Leadership coach. In this session, leaders explore their assessment results, discuss their development goals from their own and others’ perspectives, they understand how to leverage their strengths, and establish meaningful growth objectives while addressing any challenges impeding their progress. The 360° process elevates their self-awareness and external awareness and provides insights into any disparities between their self-perception and how others perceive them.
Additionally, leaders gain insights into how others view their behaviors, what is effective, and where their nominated group sees room for potential adjustments. This feedback is enlightening and empowers leaders to take decisive actions to cultivate an adaptive leadership approach that aligns with the demands of their role and the expectations of their diverse peer group. The comprehensive 360° process based on future-fit capabilities enables leaders to develop a well-defined plan for closing capability gaps, positioning themselves for effective leadership in the ever-evolving landscape of the Future of Work.
