How Many Of These Five People Are Most Likely To Be Promoted In The Near Future?

Probably Just One. Research conducted within the last ten years decisively shows that the key to exceptional performance is identifying and utilizing one’s strengths. But unfortunately, only 17% of America's workers spend much of their working day doing just that.

Most people have the misconception that by “fixing” their weaknesses, their out put will improve--and so will their chances for moving up the organization ladder. Yet just the opposite is true.

The Gallup Organization’s twenty-year study of 200,000 managers concluded that organizations cannot afford to just concentrate on fixing employees' weaknesses. The bottom line: exclusively targeting weaknesses often doesn't work, and at best it only helps people prevent future failure. It is within the strengths of employees that lay the true opportunities for world-class performance. – Marcus Buckingham

Certainly, it’s important to work on weaknesses. If you don't manage the weeds, you will be left with a garden in decline. But the people who are seen as most productive are NOTICED because of their strengths, and not just all-around good performance.

When people take the INSIGHTMirror 360 assessment, they often have no idea that the instrument is strength-focused. They find this out when they read our acclaimed Action Planning Guide that places more emphasis on using one’s strengths more effectively, and less emphasis on fixing one’s weaknesses. Our Action Planning Guide is an essential free companion to the INSIGHTMirror Assessment in order to receive the full benefits of our 360º.

What do we mean that our 360 Assessment focuses on one’s strengths?
We ask how our positive characteristics at work can be maximized by:

• Identifying strengths in the current job and for potential work in the future.
• Learning how to strengthen those strengths.
• Teaching others to identify, amplify, and significantly utilize their strengths for maximum productivity.

The INSIGHTMirror 360 has sixty-four questions
within 8 key leadership areas, and 13 optional boxes for written comments.

Easy to Administer:
We invested over $500,000 in application-friendly cutting edge hardware and
software with the guidance of noted assessment authority Dr. Tony Alessandra, also known for his creative partnerships with the Ken Blanchard Organization and HRD Press. Tony only works with people having exceptional assessments.

Easy To Take:
People at all levels of computer literacy have successfully used our on-line assessment to complete their self-evaluation, choose and personally invite Raters, check their “Monitor Rater Activity Page” to see which raters have not yet responded, and send out reminders to those yet to be heard from.

Inexpensive:

• A highly cost-effective 360º instrument with so many outstanding features: “The INSIGHTMirror 360 . . . is the Rolls Royce of online 360º assessments, at Honda prices.” – Government Training News.
• There is no software you need to buy, and there are no licensing fees.

Supports Detailed Comments:
We explicitly let Raters know they are encouraged to include “kudos.” We embolden Raters with the mind-set that praise and commentary are an essential part of a 360º — along with constructive feedback.

Allow You to Set Your Own Organization’s Norms:
For each of the 64 questions, you can customize our generic statistically based norms to represent the norms of just your organization, or departments.

The Feedback Report Makes Sense at First Glance:
The report is clear, detailed, and highly readable—and its findings are presented in a way that is remarkably easy to understand and interpret.
