  • “We can change the future, not the past.
    Feedforward helps people envision and focus on a
    positive future, not a failed past. By giving people
    ideas on how they can be even more successful,
    we increase their chances of success.”

Leadership Versatility Index® (LVI) 360° feedback survey

The LVI 360° is built around two basic pairs of opposing dimensions in leadership: forceful-enabling and strategic-operational. This assessment rates whether the participant is underdoing a behavior or action, overdoing it, or doing it at just the right amount (optimal performance). Open-ended questions can be added to the survey to elicit direct comments. The LVI is based on the leadership model in the book, The Versatile Leader, published by Kaplan DeVries, Inc.  The LVI survey is published by Kaiser Leadership Solutions.

Interview-Based and Custom Online 360° Assessments

MetaSkills can also work directly with you to create an assessment customized for your organization.  The 360 can be entirely interview based, entirely online, or a combination, based on your internal competency model.

When creating an interview-based 360° assessment, we gather contextual and specific behavioral information through interviews so we can generate a well-rounded assessment of an individual’s talents and shadow side. We speak with the participant and the participant’s manager, direct reports, and peers. As well as other topics, we review the interviewee’s:

  • Work history
  • Past successes and learnings
  • Self-assessment of development needs
  • Others’ assessments of key strengths and development

When creating an online 360, we work with you to identify the items and rater scales to use.  Items may be based on your organization’s competency model or be focused on a specific set of behaviors.  We partner with online survey companies to provide you with an easily accessible and administered survey experience.
