Professional Specialist Leader 360°

The Professional Specialist Leader 360° assessment provides feedback for individuals who are technical leaders but do not have standard people leadership roles. Receive an in-depth view of your leadership strengths and development opportunities.

In complex environments with growing ambiguity technical leaders are increasingly turned to as the organisations' thought leaders – and their influence across the Public Service is growing. 

The Professional Specialist Leader 360° (PSL 360°) is a comprehensive assessment based on 16 capabilities aligned to the Leadership Success Profile (LSP) with a focus on how technical leaders work with and influence others.

The LSP describes leadership attributes, capabilities and behaviours that will enable you to both lead within your agency and to work with others to have an impact across the Public Service. It has an inclusive view around leadership and places emphasis on the attributes and behaviours that drive collaboration, system stewardship and customer focus.

Respondents, including your manager, peers, project team members, and stakeholders, rate the frequency they see you exhibiting different leadership and management skills, attributes and behaviours. You also complete a self-assessment across a total of 56 statements.
