This is what executives from three different Fortune 500 companies say about the MLP:
"The Multidimensional Leadership Profile is the best '360' feedback I've seen, and in my former position of Vice President of Human Resources I saw a number of them. It has two distinct advantages: the quality of the information delivered and the small amount of time required to produce it. Because it takes only a few minutes to complete a rating form, acceptance within the organization has been excellent, and turnaround time has been fast (feedback is not much good if it takes nine months to communicate it!). The actual items focus on specific behaviors in the workplace—not vague generalities—so that people can relate, and respond meaningfully, to them. The numerical scales and corresponding definitions are also excellent, not only because they are "user friendly" but, in addition, because the report clearly explains how to interpret these numerical results (e.g., when a difference is truly significant). Many of our executives say that the MLP provides them with the best feedback they have ever received."

"Of the various tools for 360 feedback on the market, the Multidimensional Leadership Profile has the strengths I really look for. First, the dimensions are valid. They include major performance drivers like conceptual thinking, motivation level, and leadership impact, as well as a number of important specific competencies (e.g., presentation skills, decision-making, delegation). Second, its administrative aspects are a real asset—the rating forms are short, comprehensive and user-friendly. Third, the profile itself contains a lot of meaningful information in one concise, easy-to-read report. I especially like the highly targeted developmental feedback."
Executive Vice President of Human Resources
Top-Ten Financial Institution
"I am very pleased with the Multidimensional Leadership Profile and how it is assisting the 2,000+ management people in our companies. In developing the MLP, you focused on the right attributes, such as the 'Big 5' performance drivers and the four kinds of leadership that are important in today's business environment. The MLP is something that can be used throughout an organization, from top to bottom, especially because of its overall ease of administration. It is also valuable to be able to obtain the MLP group summary reports, which allow you to compare different levels of an organization on key dimensions—you an make a lot of useful comparisons without violating anyone's confidence. A lot of clear conceptual thinking obviously went into the development of this product. It does not feel canned—it does feel like the right tool at the right time."
