Most 360s focus on gaps. The Personal Impact Survey captures when leaders shine — through the eyes of those who know them.
The Personal Impact Survey invites raters to share stories and examples of when the leader demonstrated exceptional
leadership, impact, or influence. Rather than rating competencies on a scale, raters describe real moments of excellence.
A narrative report organized by theme, with verbatim comments from raters. No charts. No scores. Just real feedback about real impact.
# Strategic Thinking
"When we faced the Q3 budget crisis, [Leader] brought the team together and reframed it as an opportunity. She mapped out three scenarios — best, middle, worst — and walked us through each one with clarity and calm. I've never seen a leader turn panic into productivity so quickly."
— Peer, Finance Department
# Team Development
"[Leader] doesn't just delegate — he develops. He gave me a stretch assignment that I wasn't sure I could handle, then provided exactly the right level of support without micromanaging. Now I'm leading projects I wouldn't have thought possible a year ago."
