Global Leadership Assessment (GLA360)
the most effective 360 assessment I have used


The adage goes : you can only manage what you measure.

The Global Leadership Assessment (GLA360) is a 360 leadership assessment developed through extensive research conducted by Marshall Goldsmith, who is 

Executive coach and recognized as world's # 1 Leadership Thinker by Harvard Business Review. The research involved real leaders in real companies - CEOs of 

Fortune 100 companies, global thought leaders and international business executives of organizations on 6 continents. GLA360 has been used worldwide by

companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500. While most assessments are created by a coach or statistician, the GLA360 is the first and only assessment in the 

market created and validated by research with actual leaders at multinational companies.


The GLA360 articulates and measures the top 15 most important competencies for today's global leader. It shows leaders the areas they need to develop in order to

succeed in a competitive business environment.

Leadership Development Resources

The GLA360 assessment report is a 50+ page detailed document outlining the strengths and growth areas of the individual leader. 

To get the maximum benefit out of the assessment report, many organizations opt for a debriefing session for the group of leaders assessed. In a 1-on-1 meeting we

identify strengths and improvement areas and we prepare an individual development plan.
