360 Feedback in Singapore: Why Leadership Development Needs to Go Deeper

At The Clarity Practice, we identify a clear trend: organizations throughout Singapore and Asia are seeking leaders who are more self-aware, adaptable, and trustworthy. The challenge is that traditional performance reviews and competency checklists rarely build those qualities. That’s where 360 feedback, combined with executive coaching, changes the game.

What 360 Feedback Really Is

360 feedback gathers input not just from a manager but from peers, direct reports, and stakeholders. Done right, it provides leaders with a full-circle view of their strengths, blind spots, and impact. It’s not about scoring people. It’s about creating honest, evidence-based dialogue that drives growth.

Why It Matters in Singapore and Asia

Leadership in Asia faces unique pressures:

  • Family-owned businesses need succession-ready leaders who balance tradition with innovation.
  • Cross-cultural teams spanning ASEAN, where communication styles differ widely.
  • Government and GRC stakeholders who expect accountability, compliance, and alignment.
  • Regional expansion requires leaders to work effectively across borders, time zones, and cultures.

Research shows that when done well, 360-degree feedback drives measurable improvement:

  • Organisations in Malaysia and Singapore reported that 89% saw improved employee performance after implementing 360-degree feedback tools【Accendo Technologies, 2024】.
  • A study across Asian organisations found 55–88% improvements in leadership competencies when 360 feedback was combined with coaching【The Clarity Practice Research, 2025】.

Our Certification: Leadership Circle Profile (LCP)

We are certified in the Leadership Circle Profile 360 (LCP). The only Singapore-led leadership development and executive coaching business committed to integrating mindset, visual techniques, feedback, and executive coaching.

Why does that matter? Because Leadership Circle Profile 360 goes deeper than generic surveys:

  • It measures not only leadership behaviours but also the underlying mindsets that drive them.
  • It distinguishes between reactive leadership patterns (controlling, protecting, complying) and creative competencies (authenticity, systems thinking, purpose).
  • It is supported by a global database of over 250,000 leaders, making it one of the most validated 360 tools available.

It shows leaders not just what they do, but why they do it, and that is where fundamental transformation begins.

The Clarity Practice Difference

360-degree feedback by itself is not enough. Reports often sit unread in inboxes. What makes us different is how we turn data into change:

  • Three-Pillar Clarity Method™: We combine mindfulness, strategic thinking, and visual reflection to help leaders process feedback at a deeper level. This method builds awareness, creates clarity, and turns insights into sustainable habits.
  • Contextualised for Asia: We tailor 360 processes to address saving face in hierarchical structures, communication gaps in ASEAN teams, and succession challenges in family firms.
  • Coaching-led integration: Every 360 feedback engagement includes debrief sessions and a structured 90-day action plan, ensuring feedback leads to measurable outcomes.
