A Clearer Picture of Your Leadership Impact
Leadership Insights is Elevated Talent’s customized 360-degree feedback service for senior leaders who want a clear and candid understanding of how their leadership is experienced by others. Through confidential interviews with board members, peers, direct reports, and other key stakeholders, we identify patterns in leadership strengths, blind spots, communication, trust, influence, and overall impact.
The feedback is synthesized into a practical, anonymized leadership assessment report and reviewed in a confidential debrief with an experienced executive coach. Leaders leave with a focused understanding of what is working, what may be limiting their effectiveness, and the behavioural changes that can make the greatest difference.
For organizations that prefer a standardized assessment, we also offer validated tools such as the Leadership Circle Profile and Hogan 360.
Our Approach
We offer two pathways to gathering rich, multi-perspective feedback:
1. Custom Interview-Based 360 Review
Ideal for: Senior leaders seeking a highly personalized, in-depth 360-degree leadership assessment. We conduct confidential, one-on-one interviews with stakeholders—board members, peers, direct reports, and key partners—to explore themes around leadership strengths, blind spots, trust, communication, and influence.
What’s Included:
- An initial meeting with the leader to build trust, clarify learning goals, and align on the scope of the review.

Why It Matters
Leaders often don’t receive honest, holistic feedback. Leadership Insights closes that gap by providing clear, constructive reflections grounded in both data and humanity.
A well-designed 360-degree feedback process helps leaders see their strengths more clearly, recognize blind spots, understand how their leadership is experienced by others, and identify meaningful opportunities for growth.
This is not a performance review, it’s a developmental experience designed to fuel growth, elevate trust, and unlock greater leadership impact.
Leadership Insights FAQ
What is Leadership Insights?
Leadership Insights is Elevated Talent’s customized 360-degree feedback service for senior leaders who want a candid and comprehensive understanding of how their leadership is experienced by others.
It brings together perspectives from relevant stakeholders to identify patterns in the leader’s strengths, blind spots, communication, trust, influence, relationships, and overall impact.
What is a 360-degree feedback assessment?
A 360-degree process gathers feedback from people who interact with a leader in different capacities, such as their manager, peers, direct reports, board members, and key organizational partners.
Looking across these perspectives helps identify consistent patterns, important differences in how the leader is experienced, and issues that may not be visible through self-reflection or feedback from one person alone.
When is Leadership Insights most useful?
Leadership Insights can be particularly valuable when a leader is:
- Preparing for or adjusting to a more senior role
- Seeking candid feedback that may be difficult to obtain internally
- Developing greater executive or enterprise-level impact
- Working through recurring relationship or communication challenges
- Creating a focused leadership development plan
- Preparing for an executive coaching engagement
- Reviewing progress after a period of development
It is most effective when the leader is genuinely open to feedback and prepared to act on what they learn.
What is the difference between an interview-based 360 and a standardized 360 assessment?
An interview-based 360 uses confidential, one-on-one stakeholder conversations and a customized interview guide. It provides detailed examples, context, nuance, and insight into complex leadership dynamics.
A standardized or survey-based 360 uses a validated questionnaire to gather structured feedback. It can provide norm-referenced data and is particularly useful when an organization wants a consistent approach across multiple leaders.
We offer both options and recommend the approach that best fits the leader’s objectives and organizational context.
What other leadership assessments do you offer?
Depending on the development objective, we can incorporate validated tools such as the Leadership Circle Profile, Hogan assessments, and Gallup CliftonStrengths.
Each tool answers different questions. We recommend assessments based on the insight needed rather than using the same instrument for every leader.
Who provides feedback in an interview-based 360?
Feedback normally comes from people with sufficient experience working with the leader to comment meaningfully on their impact. This may include the leader’s manager, peers, direct reports, board members, and other important stakeholders.
Our comprehensive interview-based process typically includes 8 to 15 stakeholder interviews. The final number and mix are determined by the leader’s role, objectives, and organizational relationships.
Is the feedback confidential?
Yes. Feedback is synthesized into themes, and comments are presented without attributing them to individual participants. The purpose is to help the leader understand meaningful patterns while protecting the confidentiality required for candid feedback.
Before the process begins, we explain the confidentiality approach to the leader and feedback providers. We also discuss any practical limitations to anonymity when a stakeholder group is particularly small.
Who receives the feedback report?
The leader receives the report and reviews it confidentially with the coach. If an organization sponsors the process, any information shared with the manager, HR partner, executive sponsor, or board is agreed upon in advance.
An optional sponsor conversation may focus on high-level themes, development priorities, and organizational support without disclosing confidential comments or unnecessary personal detail.
Is a 360-degree review the same as a performance review?
No. Leadership Insights is a developmental process rather than a formal evaluation of employment performance.
The purpose is to help leaders better understand their impact, recognize strengths and blind spots, and identify focused development priorities. It should complement rather than replace an organization’s performance-management responsibilities.
What happens after the feedback is collected?
The coach analyzes the interviews or assessment results and prepares a report identifying the most important themes, strengths, development areas, and representative feedback.
The leader then participates in a 90-minute debrief to understand the findings and identify priorities. Follow-up coaching can be added to help the leader process difficult feedback, create a development plan, practise new approaches, and sustain behavioural change.
Ready to See Your Leadership More Clearly?
The most valuable leadership insights often come from perspectives you can’t see on your own. Leadership Insights gives you a confidential, objective view of how your leadership is experienced by the people around you—and a clear path toward greater impact.
Start the conversation and learn how a customized 360 feedback process can help you identify what’s working, uncover blind spots, and focus on the changes that matter most.
