Positive Solutions 360° Feedback is based on the well-researched and widely used tool Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), developed by Dr. Elias H. Porter and further refined by Dr. Tim Scudder. SDI and Relationship Intelligence (RQ) help individuals understand their internal motivators, strengths, and areas for development in relation to others. The result is impactful leadership and collaboration.
Purpose and Philosophy
Positive Solutions 360° Feedback:
- Strengthens leadership through increased self-awareness, communication skills, and relationship intelligence
- Builds a culture based on openness, trust, and shared development
- Creates sustainable, coaching-based leadership – not as a one-time initiative, but as a living part of the organization’s success
The process is open and transparent: respondents know that the leader/manager will receive the feedback and can therefore discuss it and develop in a goal-oriented way. It’s about trust and shared learning.
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
~ John F. Kennedy

Practical Arrangements and Support
Positive Solutions is responsible for:
- Sending out the survey and collecting responses
- Sending the SDI assessment to leaders/managers

- Providing professional coaching and follow-up by separate agreement
Added Value at the Organizational Level
When SDI is integrated into a broader leadership program – including communication, motivation, strengths, change management, difficult conversations, and conflict resolution – a shared language and deeper, more productive collaboration are created.
This builds an organizational culture based on self-awareness, accountability, and psychological safety – where leaders and managers grow both as individuals and as a group.
