Leadership Assessments
Why conduct leadership assessments?
The purpose of a leadership assessment is to identify priority opportunities for leaders to enhance their leadership effectiveness. It is also an important foundation for the establishment of coaching goals.
I utilize several options when conducting leadership assessments. These include:
-
Reviews typically include:
structured one-on-one interviews with staff, colleagues, and other key stakeholders
Participating in team meetings
Shadowing
All information is consolidated into a report that provides a clear picture of how the leader’s current performance is viewed and identifies specific areas for improvement.
-
A true breakthrough in 360-degree assessments that connects a well-researched battery of competencies with underlying motivations and habits of thought. Leaders will:
understand the relationship between patterns of action and internal assumptions that drive behavior
have clear cut insights into their strengths and development opportunities
know their creative competencies and reactive tendencies to be able to drive transformative change
-
I suggest that in addition to the 360-degree assessment, that leaders also complete a Myers Briggs to help them understand their personality type and its implications on leadership style and how to lead more effectively.
