Skills Matrix 360 · executive coaching diagnostics
Self-assessment is half the picture. Skills Matrix 360 adds the other half: how your manager, peers and the people you lead see your behaviour in the ten skills that matter most for your role.
We all know what we’re like as bosses. Our people know it even better — they just rarely tell us in time.
The introductory call takes up to 20 minutes and commits you to nothing. The questionnaires and the report are currently in Croatian; for English-speaking teams, get in touch — an English version is in preparation.
What you get
Chosen from a list of 21, based on your role, your challenges and what lies ahead. We don’t measure everything — only what makes the difference.
Your manager, peers, the people you lead and, if you wish, clients or partners. Everyone responds to the same behaviours.
For each skill you see how you see yourself, how others see you, and the level your role expects.
Where your picture and other people’s picture diverge, and which behaviour pattern runs through several skills.
What people wanted to tell you, in their own words: what you should keep doing and which single change would help most.
I review and interpret every assessment personally. The report includes my assessment, recommendations and a plan for the next 90 days.
What makes it different
Not translated from English or bought off the shelf. The statements describe behaviour I watched from the front row: on management boards, in board meetings and at the negotiating table.
We don’t compare you with an “average manager”, but with what your role actually expects. A divisional director and a board member are not measured on the same scale.
The result doesn’t land in your inbox automatically. I read it first, and then we discuss it in the assessment interview.
How it works
21 skills in five areas
Who it is for
What it is not
What do the report and the questions look like? See a sample report for a fictitious person: the matrix, patterns, messages from raters, the coach’s assessment and recommendations, over eleven pages. In the sample questions you can go through two self-assessment screens yourself; nothing is saved. Both are in Croatian.
Price
We offer a discount for several assessments within the same company. For more urgent dates, contact me directly. The terms of service are accepted when ordering.
Frequently asked questions
About 15 minutes. For each skill, the rater marks how often a given behaviour actually happens. If they have no insight into a situation, they say so — that is more useful than guessing.
No. Ratings from peers and direct reports are shown only in aggregate, and only when at least two people in the group respond. The manager’s rating is shown separately, which the manager knows in advance. Messages from raters are quoted verbatim but without names; before the report, I remove any details that could identify the author.
Yes. You are then both the client and the person being assessed: you choose the skills and enter the raters yourself.
We send reminders, and after 10 working days the assessment closes. If a group doesn’t have enough responses, the report says so clearly and draws no conclusions the data can’t support.
No. The free Skills Matrix is a self-assessment of nine skills and a good first step. Skills Matrix 360 adds other people’s view, ten skills chosen for your role, the coach’s personal assessment and a conversation.
You can implement the 90-day plan on your own, with an internal mentor or with coaching. I also recommend a reassessment with the same raters after six months, so that the shift shows up in the numbers, not just in how it feels.
If you’ve read this far, you probably already know which skill would surprise you.
