Leadership Development

The Profiles CheckPoint Management System is a powerful three-part solution for management and leadership development.

Today's business leaders need reliable tools that provide information and insights about how to be successful by doing the right things, the right way. It is impossible to know that right way without having the right information and a customized roadmap to get you there.

At Profiles International, we combine the process of evaluating powerful organizational information with a personalized leadership development system to help individual leaders improve the critical skills that are most needed by your organization.

Profiles International offers an innovative leadership development system through our unique Checkpoint 360 Degree Feedback System. The program combines direct feedback by direct reports, peers, supervisors, as well as customers, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback. By starting from the real experiences of the people around the leader we can identify and capture both the leader’s strengths as well as areas that require development.

Our technology makes deploying the 360 degree survey very easy. Leaders and the people who they interact with the most participate in a brief online survey. Then a powerful, full color report is created showing areas of alignment as well as gaps in effectiveness. This report provides tangible information to help the leader as well as the organization improve. From that point, leaders are able to participate in an individualized Skillbuilder series of programs to build on the areas identified through the Checkpoint 360 Degree Feedback System.

The Profiles CheckPoint 360 System is a powerful three-part solution for professional development.

First, is an extensive Checkpoint 360 Degree Survey to provide managers with multi-rater feedback from those who observe their performance: their bosses, subordinates, and peers. This is an important process because increased awareness motivates managers to change the way they do their jobs. The experience of participating in our unique 360 degree feedback system fosters powerful professional development.

The second part of Checkpoint is an Organizational Management Analysis System that alerts top management to potential managerial problems that can develop when managers’ goals are not in alignment with the goals of the organization. It is a unique 360 degree feedback system for your organization. Having this information encourages leadership development on an individual level as well as across the enterprise. This information strengthens communication and builds stronger organizations.

The Profiles SkillBuilder Series rounds out the 360 degree feedback solution and is an organized management and professional development program that addresses specific managerial skills identified in the Checkpoint as needing improvement. It also enables managers to pursue self-improvement in the areas most essential to improving their job performance. Consisting of 18 modules, managers develop and complete a customized personal development plan using SkillBuilder modules. Unlike many courses and seminars, SkillBuilder activities are available online and are integrated into a manager’s daily tasks. Being self-paced, SkillBuilder modules easily fit into a manager’s schedule and tangibly accelerate effectiveness and efficiency.
