SUNY 360 Overview
The SUNY360 Leadership Skills Inventory assists higher education professionals in gaining greater understanding about their current leadership competencies as well as understanding how their self-perception compares to how others perceive them.
The SUNY 360 systematically gathers information directly from the individual participant as well as a full circle of those they work with such as their boss, staff, peers, and students. Participants can identify up to 25 raters to provide them feedback.
The SUNY360 is specifically designed to assess skills that are important to those working at colleges, universities, and other organizations in the higher education sector. The skills inventory focuses on leadership skills around the 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 individual capacities in order to help individuals gauge their readiness/ability to lead in their college. In so doing, the inventory will examine and reveal the relationships between skills and behaviors and how they are perceived by others. Each report is accompanied by suggestions for ways to use the results in building a personal development plan, as well as related Harvard Business Review articles.
