The Leadership Circle
Profile Is World Class—
Thoroughly Researched and Validated
Theory Base—Construct Validity
In a class of its own, The Leadership Circle Profile is far more than simply a leadership assessment tool. Its rich theoretical framework creates a pathway to transformation. Construct validity is unparalleled. There is a more thorough and solid theoretical base with this instrument than with any other instrument of its type. The theoretical framework includes but is not limited to:

Internal Validity
All scale reliabilities (coefficient alpha) are very strong. Factor analysis delineates a factor for every dimension measured and each item strongly loads the factor associated with its dimension. Correlation analysis provides solid evidence for the entire theoretical framework outlined above.
External Validity
TLCP has been compared to the Wade Mindset Inventory—a self-assessment tool measuring stages of adult development. TLCP was found to be very predictive of the stage of adult development. Other validity studies are ongoing.
Anecdotal Data
Consultants, Coaches, HR and OD professionals constantly report that TLCP is vastly superior to any 360 degree assessment tool they have ever used. Managers consistently report that TLCP was the highlight of their workshop experience.
