360 degree feedback                                       

360 degree feedback helps individuals identify where their leadership strengths and development needs lie. The process includes getting confidential feedback from line managers, peers and direct reports. You will be able to view your 360 report through a nominated facilitator during your feedback session. As a result, it gives an individual an insight into other people’s perceptions of their leadership abilities and behaviour.

Who can rate me? 

You can choose anyone within your work environment to rate you. However, at least one line manager must have completed your assessment for you to request your report. Below are the options you will have in the system:

  • Line Manager: the person to whom you report. 
  • Peers: colleagues and fellow team members, probably at a similar job level, with whom you work. 
  • Direct Reports: those for whom you have a direct responsibility to lead. 
  • Others: anyone else you would like to receive feedback from. 

How do I choose my raters? 

On the review or add rater screen, you must add the email address and name of the person you are adding as a rater, this will send out an email invitation. You are required to have at least one line manager and it is recommended that you also have at least three peers and three direct reports set up as raters, although this is optional. 

How will I know when my raters have rated me? 

Within the questionnaire home screen, there is a status for each rater which will update accordingly and marked as 'Completed' once they have rated you.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment       

A foundation for lifelong personal development

By defining personality type, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment builds a robust foundation for lifelong personal development. It provides a constructive, flexible, and liberating framework for understanding individual differences and strengths.

The MBTI assessment is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. Far more than simple personality questionnaires, the MBTI® Step I™ assessment provides a constructive, flexible framework that can be applied to all areas of human interaction and personal development. The MBTI framework reveals how we approach the world around us and interact with others, offering insights into our motivation and the motivations of others. This provides a strong foundation for personal growth and development, underpinning enhanced personal effectiveness.

  • The MBTI Step I assessment identifies our personality preferences on four pairs of opposites and provides a positive, easy-to-use framework to explain similarities and differences.

To find out more information or to request using MBTI, please email us at stsft.leadershipcourses@nhs.net with as much information about yourself and why you are requesting this.

MBTI: What is the MBTI Step I assessment

The MBTI Step I assessment is a powerful and versatile personality assessment that provides the foundations for a deep understanding of personal motivations and group interactions. It can be applied to multiple personal and business issues, and revisited over time as new challenges arise. By providing multiple quality-assured insights with a single questionnaire, the MBTI assessment's scalability and relevance to all organizational levels delivers a high return on investment.

The MBTI Step I assessment helps you identify your natural preferences in four areas of personality:

  • Extraversion–Introversion (E–I)
    Opposite ways to direct and receive energy 
  • Sensing–Intuition (S–N)
    Opposite ways to take in information 
  • Thinking–Feeling (T–F)
    Opposite ways to decide and come to conclusions 
  • Judging–Perceiving (J–P)
    Opposite ways to approach the outside world

MBTI Step I: Unparalleled depth and insight

The MBTI assessment is far more than just a personality questionnaire. The theoretical framework of the MBTI assessment provides a common language for understanding and describing the interpersonal differences that define us as individuals.

  • The MBTI framework offers an easy-to-understand but sophisticated way of understanding personality differences.
  • The range of available reports is much more extensive than other tools on the market, and there is a vast ecosystem of resources and experts worldwide.
  • The MBTI assessment has a proven record of effectiveness for a variety of applications, with over two million assessments administered annually.
  • People consistently find the experience memorable and inspiring, meaning that MBTI Certified Practitioners benefit from a base level of buy-in that keeps people coming back for more.
  • The framework provides a wholly positive view, getting people on board so that they make genuine and lasting changes.

The MBTI Step I assessment: Key features
  • Uses the Myers-Briggs® framework to define 16 four-letter personality types

Insights Discovery                                                

At the very start of the self-awareness journey is Insights Discovery. A psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung, Insights Discovery is built to help people understand themselves, understand others, and make the most of the relationships that affect them in the workplace.

The Insights Discovery methodology uses a simple and memorable four colour model to help people understand their style, their strengths and the value they bring to the team. We call these the colour energies, and it's the unique mix of Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue energies, which determines how and why people behave the way they do.

To find out more or enquire about Insights Discovery, please email us at stsft.leadershipcourses@nhs.net with as much information as you can.
