Leadership Development

The Leadership Effectiveness Assessment separates leadership characteristics into two important categories:

• Leadership Competence, and
• Leadership Character

Competence without Character can raise ethical questions and lead to some of the most recent headlines in American business history, resulting in the lost of billions of dollars in shareholder value. 

Character without Competence may result in organizations that are principled, but too easygoing and under performing. Or which are headed in the wrong direction and missing out on critical changes within their industry.

Our Assessment provides feedback on Competence – What a Leader Does; and Character – Who a Leader Is.

Developed over 20 years utilizing primary and secondary research, this assessment reflects the latest in leadership best practices and the knowledge that can only be acquired from extensive research in the area of strategic best practices. The web-based assessment has been designed with practical business application in mind. The complete report features a "Leadership Performance Index" which shows the perception of your subordinates, your boss and your peers.

The most important result from this assessment is the Personal Development Plan that can be created to focus on the areas deemed most important by the individual manager, their manager, peers and subordinates. All of the latter have influence on the success of the individual.  Isn't it time to get everyone involved?

"I hired a senior manger and after six months we just weren't on the same page. Results were off and the honeymoon period was definitely over. I was beginning to feel it was a bad fit and just wasn't going to work. However, the time to begin recruiting all over and the retraining of a new manager really made me feel like I was between a rock and a hard place - to say nothing about the loss of my own credibility for bringing on someone and not integrating them successfully. I turned to the Leadership Assessment - not to beat them up - but to uncover their perspective and share with them how they were being perceived by myself, their peers and employees.  Most importantly, the section where we mutually prioritized our goals allowed us to get realigned and focused. Happily, everyone benefited from this positive approach and our investment in the new manager is producing the results we anticipated."  Area Vice President, Sales.
