The One Leadership Tool You’re Probably Not Using (But Should Be)

Elite athletes don’t get better by chance. They get better through feedback, coaching, and a plan to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be.

Leadership works the same way.

At ON Point, we’re coaching 15 high performing leaders through our 9-month Leadership Academy—and right now, they’re in the thick of one of the most powerful phases of their journey: the 360 Feedback process.

This is the leadership equivalent of watching film. It gives them a full-circle view of how they’re showing up to others—what’s effective, what’s holding them back, and where their greatest growth lies.

But here’s the difference-maker:Feedback alone doesn’t create transformation. Clear, aligned development goals do.

After the feedback comes the real work—building high-impact, focused development goals that align with the leader’s role, aspirations, and the business outcomes that matter. It’s not just about awareness—it’s about execution.

•      Leaders who receive 360 feedback and set specific goals improve their leadership effectiveness by up to 40% within six months

•      Companies that pair feedback with goal-based coaching see up to a 70% increase in employee engagement and performance

•      When leaders commit to measurable growth, they model accountability and inspire teams to rise with them

At ON Point, we don’t hand over a report and call it a day. We coach leaders to translate feedback into focused, high-performance goals that push them forward—just like an athlete training for the next big game.

The Leadership Academy participants are doing that work right now—identifying blindspots, setting stretch goals, and showing up with greater clarity, presence, and purpose.

This is how high performers become high-impact leaders.This is how cultures shift.This is how companies win.

If your leadership strategy doesn’t include 360s and goal-driven development, you’re leaving growth—and results—on the table.

Champions don’t just get feedback—they act on it. With a plan. With intention. With urgency.

And when leaders grow, teams rise.When teams rise, performance follows.
