The Group Report provides an aggregated view of feedback across a group of individuals, helping you understand patterns, strengths, and development opportunities at a team or organizational level.
Unlike Subject Reports, which focus on one individual, the Group Report reveals collective trends and insights across the entire group.
Report Overview
Each Group Report includes:
- Aggregated results across all subjects
- Breakdown of responses by category (Manager, Peers, Direct Reports, Self)
- Charts and tables showing performance across competencies
- Identification of strongest and weakest behaviors
- Comparisons across individuals and headings
This allows organizations to move from individual insight → strategic, organization-wide understanding.
Key Sections of the Report
Group Report Summary
This section provides a high-level overview of the dataset.
- Total number of subjects and responses
- Response rates by category
- Distribution of feedback across the organization
It helps assess the reliability and completeness of the data before interpretation.
Strongest and Weakest Behaviors
This section highlights:
- Top-performing behaviors across the group
- Lowest-rated behaviors requiring attention
For example, the report identifies top strengths such as:
- Following through on commitments
- Demonstrating empathy
- Embracing a growth mindset
And lower-rated areas such as:
- Handling difficult conversations
- Seeking feedback
- Developing others
This is one of the most actionable sections for organizational development.
Overall Ratings by Category
This section shows how different responder groups rate the organization overall.
- Compare Manager vs Peer vs Direct Report perspectives
- Identify systemic perception differences
- Understand how leadership is experienced at different levels
Graph Results (All Headings)
These charts show average scores across all competencies.
- Provides a visual overview of strengths and gaps
- Displays variation across responder categories
- Highlights consistency or divergence in perceptions
Use this section to quickly identify organizational patterns.
Graph Results by Heading
Each competency (heading) is broken down in detail.
- Shows scores for individual behaviors within each competency
- Includes highest and lowest scoring individuals
- Displays variation across the group
This helps answer:
- Where are we strong as an organization?
- Where are we inconsistent?
Table Format Results
These tables provide detailed statistical analysis for each heading and behavior.
- Mean (average) scores
- Median scores
- Range (low to high)
- Standard deviation (variation)
This section is especially useful for:
- Identifying consistency vs disagreement
- Understanding how widely scores vary across the group
- Supporting deeper analytical review
Results Listed by Subject
This section shows results at the individual level within the group.
- Each subject’s performance across all competencies
- Allows identification of top and lower performers
- Helps support talent decisions and development planning
Results Listed by Heading
This section reverses the view:
- Shows how all individuals perform within a specific competency
- Allows comparison across subjects for each leadership area
This is particularly useful for:
- Talent benchmarking
- Identifying high performers in specific skill areas
- Targeting development initiatives
How to Interpret the Data
When reviewing a Group Report, focus on:
- Patterns across the group, not individual scores
- Consistency vs variation (low vs high spread)
- Differences between responder categories
- Clusters of strengths and development areas
Key insight often comes from combining:
- Average scores (what is happening overall)
- Variation (how consistently it is happening)
Using the Report for Organizational Development
A Group Report is most valuable when used to drive action:
- Identify 2–4 organizational strengths to reinforce
- Select key development themes across the group
- Compare results across departments or time periods
- Align findings with leadership development strategy
- Design targeted training, coaching, or initiatives
Important Notes
- Results are aggregated to protect confidentiality
- Scores represent perceptions across the group
- High variation can indicate inconsistent leadership experiences
- Lower scores are opportunities for targeted development—not failure
Turning Data into Organizational Insight
Group Reports transform individual feedback into a clear, organization-wide view of leadership capability.
By aggregating responses across multiple subjects, they reveal patterns that are not visible at the individual level—helping organizations understand how leadership is experienced across teams, functions, and levels.
From Individual Feedback to Organizational Patterns
While Subject Reports focus on one person, Group Reports combine data across many individuals to answer broader questions:
- Where are we consistently strong as an organization?
- Where are we falling short?
- Are leadership behaviors experienced differently across groups?
- How aligned are we in how leadership is perceived?
This shift from individual insight → collective insight is what enables meaningful organizational development.
Identifying Strengths to Leverage
Group Reports highlight the behaviors and competencies that are consistently rated highly across the organization.
These strengths represent:
- Established leadership capabilities
- Cultural advantages
- Behaviors that can be reinforced and scaled
Organizations can use these insights to:
- Define leadership standards
- Share best practices
- Recognize and amplify what is working well
Revealing Gaps and Development Priorities
Lower-scoring behaviors and competencies point to areas where the organization can improve.
Because these results are aggregated, they help identify:
- Common development needs across teams
- Systemic leadership challenges
- Skills that may require targeted training or coaching
This allows organizations to focus development efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
Understanding Consistency and Alignment
Group Reports don’t just show averages—they reveal how consistent leadership experiences are across the organization.
- Low variation suggests alignment and consistency
- High variation indicates uneven experiences
This helps answer critical questions such as:
- Are leaders demonstrating behaviors consistently?
- Do some teams experience leadership very differently than others?
Understanding this variation is key to improving organizational effectiveness.
Comparing Perspectives Across Responder Groups
By separating responses from Managers, Peers, Direct Reports, and Self, Group Reports provide a multi-dimensional view of leadership.
This enables organizations to identify:
- Perception gaps between levels
- Blind spots in leadership behavior
- Differences in how leadership is experienced across roles
These insights are essential for building self-awareness and improving leadership effectiveness at scale.
Supporting Strategic Decision-Making
Group Reports provide data that can inform:
- Leadership development strategies
- Succession planning
- Talent identification
- Organizational design decisions
Rather than relying on anecdotal feedback, organizations gain a data-driven foundation for decision-making.
Tracking Progress Over Time
When used across multiple projects or time periods, Group Reports allow organizations to:
- Measure the impact of development initiatives
- Track improvements in key competencies
- Monitor changes in leadership effectiveness
This turns feedback into an ongoing continuous improvement process, not a one-time activity.
The Bigger Picture
Group Reports go beyond reporting results—they provide a structured way to understand how leadership is experienced across the organization.
They help organizations:
- See the bigger picture
- Focus on what matters most
- Take targeted, meaningful action
This is where feedback becomes insight—and insight drives performance.
