The DCM Leadership Assessment measures a candidate’s behavioral traits, cognitive abilities, and professional interests. This assessment is helpful when considering upper-level leadership openings and promotions.
Our DCM Leadership Assessment provides information which reflects the responses provided by the prospective executive leadership candidate or a current team member when completing the assessment. The report will also provide the organization with the individual’s abilities and personality traits and how they are likely to interact with other members of the team.
This information will be valuable when considering this individual for the position or for identifying the individual for professional development by demonstrating how well they fit the job. This is accomplished by comparing their results to a Success Pattern, which defines the requirements of the position by identifying the characteristics that will yield success in the position.

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.
