Leadership 360 Report: JJ Jin

Number of work raters: 7
Number of school raters: 5

Background

Managers with greater awareness of their own behavior - and of how they are perceived by others - are more effective in leading and managing others. Recent research shows that people who understand how they are viewed by others are seen as better leaders, better colleagues, and better performers; they also receive more promotions and higher pay.

This Report

The Leadership Profile Survey in Columbia Business School’s LEAD: People, Teams, and Organizations course (B6500) provides students with feedback on how their perceptions of themselves line up with others’ perceptions of them. In this report, you’ll find information on your self rating as well as other peoples’ ratings of you and your classmates across nine domains: Perspective-Taking, Decision-Making, Motivation and Vision, Persuasion and Communication, Negotiation and Cooperation, Teamwork and Team Leadership, Culture and Structure, Networks and Diversity, and Organizational Change.

Behaviors

Within each domain, respondents rated how frequently you engage in five behaviors. Some of these behaviors are consistent with expert views on good leadership (e.g., “You are able to persuade other people and change their opinions”). Other behaviors are generally inconsistent with good leadership (e.g., “You overanalyze decisions, spending too much time thinking rather than acting”).

Respondents rated these 45 behaviors on a scale ranging from “Never” to “Sometimes” to “Always.” The scale was scored in an ascending fashion (Never = 1, Sometimes = 4, Always = 7).

The Leadership 360 Report - Part One

The report begins with two overview charts. The first compares how you rated yourself with how others (both school and work raters) rated you. A desirable pattern is to be rated highly in most or all domains and to have close agreement in how you see yourself and how others see you. In most cases, this chart highlights that you and your raters generally see you as better in some domains than others. Moreover, this chart often identifies an area or areas in which your perception of yourself departs from others’ perceptions of you.

The second overview compares others’ ratings of you with all other people’s ratings of your classmates. This chart gives a sense of how your strengths compare to your peers at Columbia Business School.

These overviews give a general portrait, averaging across all five specific behaviors within a domain and averaging across both school and work raters. It’s important to look more closely at the details provided in the subsequent pages to identify which specific behaviors signal strengths or areas for improvement and which ones show the largest gaps between your perceptions of yourself and others’ perceptions of you.

The Leadership Profile Feedback Report concludes with qualitative comments. First, you will see raters’ views of your strengths. Then, you will see comments showing areas where raters thought you could improve. Finally, you will see advice raters wanted to share with you.

Everyone’s feedback tells a different story. For some, the overview charts reflect the crucial message. For others, one or two specific behaviors emerge as the focus. For others still, the qualitative comments highlight areas for improvement. We recommend moving back and forth between each of these sources of information, looking for common themes. We also stress the importance of this report not as the final or definitive verdict, but as the start of a process which includes careful analysis and the collection of more feedback.

Overview: Self and others’ perceptions of you

What do you believe about yourself… and what do others believe about you? The chart below compares your own ratings for yourself in various leadership domains with the ratings of all those who provided feedback for you.

The Leadership 360 Report - Part Two

Based on thousands of students’ experiences with the Leadership Profile Feedback Report, we have identified areas where many students want and benefit from additional feedback. Part Two includes your own and your raters’ responses in these areas, building on the initial report in ways that are both more specific and more general.

This report begins with two important specific domains: Listening and Assertiveness. In each domain, the results zero in on concrete behaviors, such as “When someone else is speaking, you interrupt and/or show impatience” and “You speak up and share your view when it is appropriate.”

There are five behaviors within each domain. Respondents rated these behaviors on the same seven-point scale used in Part One of the Leadership Profile report, ranging from “Never” to “Sometimes” to “Always.” The scale was scored in an ascending fashion (Never = 1, Sometimes = 4, Always = 7).

For most students, feedback in these specific domains gives them more detail for understanding the feedback in the initial report. For instance, someone who had a low score on the item “You consider the viewpoints of other parties involved in a conflict” in the initial report might find additional evidence in this report on why others might believe that, consulting items such as “Your assertiveness goes too far at times” (Assertiveness) and “You listen effectively to criticism and alternative points of view” (Listening).

The specific domain results are presented in a format similar to that used in Part One. For each domain, a bar chart shows averages for self ratings, as well as averages for your school and work raters. Additional bars show the average ratings of your peers at Columbia Business School in each domain. Following each bar chart is a set of tabular results, indicating averages and ranges for each individual item.

The report concludes with feedback on general impressions, including dimensions such as agreeableness and extraversion. Many students find it helpful to understand how they are seen in general, not just in terms of leadership behaviors. These results often help students put their other feedback in context and better understand how they come across to others. More details on these dimensions and how to interpret the feedback are provided later in this report.

The results contained in this report are a companion to the results in Part One of the Leadership Profile Feedback Report. In some cases, you may have lingering questions from Part One that are addressed in Part Two. Part Two also often raises questions that lead students back to Part One looking for other connections.

It’s often helpful to look for links between the different levels of feedback. For instance, how are the specific behaviors reported here linked to leadership domains, such as Influencing Others or Motivating Others, in Part One? And how do those leadership perceptions relate to the general impressions people have of you in terms of Openness, Extraversion, and so on?

There is no single path for making these connections, but a thorough review of Parts One and Two often leads students to meaningful connections and new insights about how they are seen by others and why those perceptions emerge.

Listening

Listening concerns your ability to get others to open up, share information, and feel that they have been heard.

General Impressions

Others do not always see us the way we see ourselves, especially in their first impressions. In this feedback report, we aren’t concerned with the question of which impression (yours or theirs) is right or wrong. Instead, we encourage you to focus on the differences between your ratings of yourself and others’ general impressions of you. By understanding how others generally see you, and how that differs from how you see yourself, you can think about the consequences of the impression you make on others and how that fits with your personal goals.

This feedback is based on a model of five basic dimensions of impressions, described below. Of course, these domains don’t capture your full personality, but they gauge important ways in which impressions differ.

When it comes to leadership, the goal is not necessarily to receive a high score on any given dimension. Different kinds of impressions can be successful, but you should strive to be aware of how people perceive you.

Below, you’ll find the specific questions that underlie these results. You can also see in greater detail where your self ratings converge with or depart from others’ impressions of you. Look for connections between this feedback on people’s general impressions of you and the feedback you received on specific leadership behaviors. These impression results are most meaningful when seen as part of a larger pattern of results including your other feedback.

Note: each of these dimensions was gauged with two questions, as shown below. The score for the second question in each pair was reversed and averaged with the score for the first question to yield the overall scores shown here.

Extraversion: Whether you’re seen as outgoing and enthusiastic, or reserved
Agreeableness: Whether you’re seen as warm or quarrelesome
Conscientiousness: Whether you’re seen as dependable or careless
Stability: Whether you’re seen as stable and calm or easily upset
Openness: Whether you’re seen as open to new things or conventional
