Posted by Kalani Iwiula on Sun, Mar 20, 2011
Providing leadership feedback can be a delicate and challenging task, but using the Acumen® Leadership WorkStyles™ (LWS) assessment makes the coaching task easier.
LWS is a 360° feedback assessment that provides clear and concise information about a leader's or manager's personal work style. It provides an assessment of their key strengths and developmental needs, as well as specific suggestions for changes allowing them to make greater contributions. The feedback from this tool not only increases self-awareness but also provides suggestions and action steps to improve one's effectiveness. This is presented in a simple-to-read, 25 page report with accompanying circular graphs, the Circumplex.

WHY COMPANIES CHOOSE LWS
LWS gives a complete picture of how individuals perceive themselves and how their co-workers see them. Furthermore, LWS’ particular value is that it builds on an individual's strengths and presents negative feedback in a positive way. LWS offers suggestions for people with particular work styles to be more effective, either alone or in employee interactions.
APPLICATIONS AND HOW TO USE LWS
HR professionals, OD consultants, and internal coaches can use LWS to promote leadership development, team development, and a more collaborative learning environment.
Our clients report that when they create readiness and set the context for learning, using LWS supports an ongoing process of continual personal growth. This process begins to create cultural values of collaboration, learning, and honest, open communication.
LWS could be helpful to companies going through major changes and ones that are establishing either new business units or new ways of doing business, particularly if these changes require employees to develop new skills.
SUMMARY
Acumen Leadership WorkStyles (LWS) fills the need to individually assess managers and leaders and provide a framework for behavior change. The assessment’s ease of use and confidentiality allows co-workers to give more honest, accurate data while providing insightful, helpful feedback. What is most significant is that LWS is accompanied by concrete, specific steps for changing behavior in a positive, constructive way.
