SUNY360 Overview

The SUNY360 Leadership Skills Inventory assists higher education professionals in gaining deeper insight into their current leadership competencies and in comparing their self-perception with how others perceive them.

The SUNY360 systematically gathers feedback directly from the participant as well as from a full circle of colleagues, including supervisors, staff, peers, and students. Participants can identify up to 25 raters to provide feedback.

Specifically designed for professionals working at colleges, universities, and other organizations in the higher education sector, the skills inventory focuses on leadership skills organized around six domains of knowledge for higher education leaders:

  • Know Yourself
  • Know Your Skills
  • Know Your Team
  • Know Your Students
  • Know Your Institution
  • Know Your Context

The SUNY360 individual report provides an inventory of capacities to help individuals gauge their readiness and ability to lead within their institutions. The report examines the relationship between skills and behaviors and how they are perceived by others. Each report also includes suggestions for using the results to create a personal development plan, along with related articles from Harvard Business Review.

The SUNY SAIL360 tool has been useful in my own leadership development, and that of my team. For the first time this year, our mid-level managers participated and the results have sparked critical conversations between supervisors.
