The Leadership Circle and Organizational Performance
Bob Anderson
Dive deeper into the research outlined in “The Leadership Circle: Breakthrough Leadership Assessment Technology.” The research dramatically shows how the Leadership Circle Profile graphically displays the aggregate results from among the 486 leaders in the study whose business performance was rated best and worst. This paper presents powerful evidence that changes in leadership behavior, as measured by the Leadership Circle Profile, are very likely to translate into increased leadership effectiveness and thereby, bottom-line business performance.
Reactive to Creative
Bob Anderson and Bill Adams
Two major movements happen in the self (in its inner game) as it transforms from Reactive to Creative Leadership. The first movement has to do with a shift in how we optimize the tension between purpose and safety. In the second parallel movement, identity shifts from the outside-in to the inside out.
Daily Habits of Exceptional Leaders
Padraig O'Sullivan
Padraig O’Sullivan and Roma Gaster, Partners of The Leadership Circle based in Sydney, Australia, led a groundbreaking study into revealing and understanding the daily habits of exceptional leaders. In effect, the study uncovered what exact habits have these leaders cultivated outside of work that allows them to turn up in work in their leadership positions and lead in an exceptional manner.

THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE: A Brief History

From the basement beginnings to the transformational force that it is today, this is the story of how the Leadership Circle has emerged as the new standard for leadership development.
The Leadership Circle: Breakthrough Leadership Assessment Technology
Bob Anderson
Introducing a significant advancement in state-of-the-art leadership assessment and development, the Leadership Circle Profile is the first competency-based 360° profile to measure behavior at various stages of adult development. It links patterns of action with habits of thought to organize information into a developmental system based on some of the best theoretical frameworks in the leadership, psychological, and spiritual literature. It also displays information in a way that immediately draws attention to the most critical information in the feedback.

Instrument Validation Study
Bowling Green State University
This white paper contains an independent study of The Leadership Circle Profile conducted by IPRA, a consulting group within the Industrial Organizational Psychology Department at the Bowling Green State University in Ohio. The study concludes that, “[The] Leadership Circle Profile is an internally consistent, valid measure for leadership development [and] the results of this independent investigation suggest that [the] Leadership Circle Profile is quite acceptable for developmental purposes.”
Agreement in Self-Other Ratings of Leadership Effectiveness: The Role of Demographics and Personality
Bob Anderson
Personality and demographic attributes for a set of 1,221 focal managers were examined as correlates of leadership effectiveness evaluations that were obtained via a 360-degree feedback program.
The Sacred Geometry of The Leadership Circle Profile and the Universal Model of Leadership: Toward a Physics of Leadership
Bob Anderson
The Leadership Circle’s Universal Model of Leadership (UML), the dynamic polarities within it, and its correlation matrix is found to be consistent/coherent with core scaling geometries. Human beings pattern their identities and the dynamics of their interaction to the same geometries. These findings lend significant credence to the universality of the model. The Universal Model of Leadership is shown to be a zero-point structure.
