The DCM Associates 360 Leadership Development System
The DCM Associates 360 Leadership Development System is a non-threatening way to identify performance perceptions as viewed by certain groups of individuals who know and have had the opportunity to observe the leader in the work setting. Feedback to the leader is given openly and honestly. Remember, perception is reality. This is accomplished by rating the performance of 62 Leadership Behaviors presented as survey items. The responses are compiled from different observers such as: Self, Boss, Direct Reports, and Peers

By participating in this process, the individual has conveyed to their team members that they are willing to consider their input and apply that information to become a more effective leader. Listening and acting upon the input of their coworkers is a vital characteristic of a high-performing leader. This system is meant to encourage forward-thinking leadership while providing information for a clear, actionable plan for improvement.
