This month on MENTOR MONDAY, we addressed “The Art & Science of 360 Feedback” and how leaders can benefit from receiving candid feedback from others.

Listen to this call as Sylva Leduc, the Managing Partner of Sage Leaders, shares information from her 20 years of coaching leaders & executives using 360 assessments.

She also talked about many of the different 360 degree instruments, as well as, how to conduct feedback interviews.

I recently worked with a group of emerging leaders and as part of the program everyone completed an assessment to learn more about their communication style. At Sage Leaders, we’ve used assessments since the mid-90s to help leaders more fully understand both themselves and the people who work for them.

Listen to this podcast as we discuss some of the different self-assessments, the best ways to use them and how to avoid misusing assessments. At the end of the podcast you’ll also learn how to complete an assessment free of charge.

This month we explored motivation, how it contributes to employee satisfaction and the direct impact that leaders have on motivation.

This is such an important topic. When we conduct 360 feedback assessments in organizations, employees tell us just what it is their leaders do that is most motivating.  They also tell us what demotivates them the most. After all, a demotivated employee is more likely to quit the company. And we all know the costs of employee turnover.

Listen to this 30 minute podcast as Sylva Leduc talks about employee retention, employee satisfaction and motivation.  She also talks about the new book by Daniel Pink, called Drive!

Are you one of the 3%?.

It’s been said that it takes 28 days to create a new habit. That means after those infamous new year’s resolutions have been made, if we can just maintain those resolutions for the first fours weeks, we’ll be off and running on the road to success.  Right?

In theory, that’s correct.  In reality, New Year’s Resolutions are largely a waste of time.  Why? Because they are emotional promises with little commitment.

Listen in to this discussion with members of the Sage Leaders community as Sylva Leduc (of Sage Leaders inc.) talks about the 3% and how to increase success through creating SMART goals and a powerful plan of action.
