    Nonprofit Leader All-Rounder 360

    A 360-degree feedback survey for nonprofit leaders with 74 questions across 16 leadership domains.

It takes about 30 minutes to complete and is meant to be repeated every 6 to 12 months. Org360 produces a report with scores, strengths, growth areas and a development plan.
