Intelligent Influence 360 Assessment (I2360)

Every successful person and organization consciously or intuitively utilizes the four-step Intelligent Influence process to achieve their goals.  However, most people do not know this secret of success.

The manner in which a leader influences others is more important than what they actually do.  Traditional evaluation systems are often ineffective because they overlook a leader’s influence strengths and weaknesses.  In studying the power of influence I have learned that “a leader’s success is primarily determined by the manner that he or she influences others.”

I developed the Intelligent Influence 360 or “I2360” Assessment to fill the evaluation process void and help leaders understand their influence strengths and weaknesses.  This amazing evaluation tool will help them, in a non-confrontational way, make the adjustments necessary to become more effective and productive leaders.  The tool is built around the four-step Intelligent Influence framework described below:

Step 1 of the process is called Influence Awareness.  This step entails understanding how a leader has been influenced to do what they do in the way that they do it.

Step 2 is called Influence Impact.  This step entails assessing a leader’s influence strengths and weaknesses.

Step 3 is called Influence Management. This step entails identifying the influences a leader needs to overcome their influence weaknesses and achieve their personal, professional and organization goals.

Step 4 is called Influence Maximization.  This final step entails using information gathered from the other three steps to establish the type of Credibility, Creativity and Connection necessary to influence anyone, in any way at any time.

The I2360 Assessment process is easy to implement.  The leader is asked a series of questions that enables them to assess how effectively they think that they are influencing others. At the same time, the leader’s boss, co-workers and direct reports answer questions that will help them assess the leader’s influence effectiveness and recommend ways in which the leader could more effectively influence others.

Once the assessments are completed, the leader’s boss, the human resources department or their executive coach will help him or her use the constructive feedback to enhance their influence and success as a leader.

The I2360 Assessment can significantly improve a person’s effectiveness as a leader and transform the culture of an organization when multiple leaders go through this process.  I hope that you will consider utilizing this powerful tool to enhance the success of your organization.
