In a previous post entitled Who’s afraid of the big, bad boss?, I touched a little bit on the Everything DiSC® 363 for Leaders profile as a great way to prevent bad management from plaguing your organization. Since then, I’ve received quite a few questions about this 360 instrument, and I thought a quick blog post was a great place to provide you with answers!

Many of our clients use 360 reports to provide feedback on their leaders from all different angles. Your leader’s staff, supervisors, co-workers and even clients can all assess the leader’s skills, thus providing 360 degrees of personalized feedback. This type of feedback is vital for any leader to better understand their leadership style and make improvements. Like I had mentioned in that Bad Management blog post, bad management is preventable. Providing a leader with constructive feedback from the people they work with allows them to see how they are received by other people.
What makes 363 for Leaders different?
Many of the 360 reports out there are costly, time consuming and extremely complicated to interpret. Some 360’s are so in depth that you need to be certified to use them. Often the feedback is so detailed, that your leader can’t figure out what to do with the information. What’s exciting about the Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders profile is that the leader gets great feedback without the costs or the complication of other 360 surveys. Plus, you don’t need to be certified to administer it. Everything DiSC 363 is a DiSC-based report that uses narrative and graphics to give the leader the information they need to improve.
Why is it called 363 for Leaders if it’s a 360 survey?
The Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders gets its name because of its unique take on a traditional 360 report. Not only do leaders receive detailed feedback from raters, but they also receive “Three Strategies for Development” personalized just for them. The result is a clear road map for success specifically designed for your leader. Thus, the 363 gets its name.
Yes. Similar to other DiSC profiles, DiSC 363 has been research-validated by a team of experts. It was tested and developed for more than 3 years, and field tested with over 400 leaders and 3,000 raters.
