The Subject’s Report provides a comprehensive view of how an individual is perceived by others, alongside their own self-assessment.
It combines numerical ratings with written feedback to highlight strengths, development areas, and perception gaps across key leadership competencies.
Report Overview
Each report includes:
- Ratings from multiple responder groups (e.g., Manager, Peers, Direct Reports, Self)
- Visual charts showing performance across competencies
- Written comments providing deeper context
- Summaries highlighting key strengths and development opportunities
This combination allows both data-driven insight and human perspective.
Key Sections of the Report
Headlines
The Headlines section provides a high-level summary of performance across all competency areas.
- Shows average scores for each heading
- Includes combined feedback from all responders
- Displays self-ratings for comparison
Use this section to quickly understand overall strengths and patterns.
Details
The Details section breaks results down by responder group.
- Compare how different groups (e.g., Manager vs Peers) view the subject
- Identify differences in perception across audiences
- Highlight areas where behavior may vary depending on context
This is where deeper insights begin to emerge.
Heading Pages (Detailed Results)
Each heading (e.g., Communication, Leadership, Decision-Making) includes:
- Individual question scores
- Category-level breakdowns (Manager, Peers, etc.)
- Combined averages
- Variation in responses (consistency vs disagreement)
These pages help pinpoint specific behaviors driving results.
Comments – Open Ended
This section includes written feedback from responders.
- Strengths as seen by others
- Opportunities for improvement
- Context behind the scores
Comments often provide the most actionable and meaningful insights.
Highest & Lowest Rated Areas
These summary sections highlight:
- Highest-rated competencies and behaviors
- Lowest-rated areas for development
They help prioritize where to:
- Continue strong performance
- Focus development efforts
Perception Gap Analysis (Self vs Others)
Perception Gap compares:
- Self-ratings vs combined responder ratings
- Areas where perception differs
This helps identify:
- Blind spots (self-rating higher than others)
- Hidden strengths (others rating higher than self)
How to Interpret the Data
When reviewing a Subject’s Report, focus on:
- Patterns, not single scores
- Differences between responder groups
- Consistency across questions within a competency
- Alignment (or gaps) between self and others
The most valuable insights often come from trends across multiple data points, not isolated results.
Using the Report for Development
A Subject’s Report is most effective when used as a starting point for action:
- Identify 2–3 key strengths to maintain
- Select 1–3 development areas to focus on
- Review supporting comments for context
- Create specific, measurable development actions
This turns feedback into meaningful growth.
Important Notes
- All feedback is confidential and aggregated by category
- Scores represent perceptions, not absolute truths
- Variation in responses can be as important as averages
