Navigate leadership with confidence
Gathering Insights
Most individual and team 360s rate your performance on a scale of 1-5. The average score of 3 is rarely helpful or insightful about what’s really going on.
Maybe you’ve spent a lot of money for a coach to conduct interviews. You ended up with a long, qualitative report with no framework to make sense of what to do next.
At Clutch, you will benefit from a combination of skill based questions and people’s long form responses, measured against the Clutch Skills Framework.
the Clutch Skills Framework

The Clutch Skills Framework is:
Tailored toward leadership skills required in high growth VC and PE funded companies
Filtered to include only skills that others can observe and provide feedback on
Categorized into the 3 capabilities required to lead at the organizational level - Culture, Strategy and Execution.
