"Without necessarily setting out to do so, Dennis and JP have 'cracked the code' of what makes for effective leadership and its impact on business performance. By focusing on what works – what we call Creative Leadership Competencies – they were each able to drive significant and meaningful change in their organizations, and get sustainable, high-performance results. When combined with a healthy balance between relationships and results, their high Creative Competency (and low Reactive) scores paint a picture of mature and effective leadership." -Bob Anderson, CEO, The Leadership Circle

So, we’ve got our own ideas about how we did, we’ve got in-depth, quantitative assessment results, and we’ve got the informed professional opinion of the guy who, with his business partner Bill Adams, literally wrote the book (Mastering Leadership, 2015, HarperCollins). In each case, the judgment is that we performed well as leaders, better in fact than roughly 98% of the hundreds of thousands of leaders assessed over the years using the LCP.

We thought we were onto something, and now we’ve got proof. We’ve got the statistical validation we were looking for, courtesy of the authoritative Leadership Circle Profile™. And the LCP has in turn focused us on our real-world case studies, me at Savvis, and JP at VS-41.

But before we dig into those case studies, the results of our efforts as leaders, and the Return on Leadership experienced by our organizations, let’s learn a bit more about the science of leadership. We’ll start with some additional background on Bob Anderson, 360s in general, and the Leadership Circle Profile™ in particular.
