The Aspiring to Leadership (ATL) is a validated 360 survey which provides feedback on skills that are essential for future managerial success. High performance on these competencies identifies an employee who is prepared to make the transition from individual contributor to a formalized leadership role. Not only does this individual excel in their role, but they voluntarily go beyond the scope of the job. Amongst peers, they are often
viewed as a role model.
