Robert A. Cameron & Associates Announces An Online 360 Degree Program that Provides An Assessment Of A Manager’s Leadership Skills As Perceived By Others
An effective leadership development program should include an assessment of a manager’s strengths and weaknesses by the people they work with. Perception equals fact so knowing how others evaluate the manager’s skills helps bring focus to the leadership areas needing the most development.
(PRWEB) March 15, 2005 -- Robert A. Cameron & Associates offers an
innovative online leadership development program through Profiles
International’s unique Checkpoint 360 Degree Feedback System. The program
combines direct feedback by direct reports, peers, and supervisor, with a
personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that
feedback. By learning the perceptions of the people around the leader you can
identify and capture both the leader’s strengths as well as areas that require
development.
Employees don't quit companies, they quit managers. That is
why it is critical to discover how a manager's perception of themselves compares
to the perception their peers, subordinates, and superior have of them.
Perception equals fact, but unless it is measured, it can’t be changed. The
result of not knowing a manager’s perceived weaknesses is typically employee
turnover, particularly within the ranks of your top performers.
Deploying
the 360 degree survey is very easy. Leaders and the people who they interact
with the most participate in a 20 minute online survey that evaluates 18
critical skill sets. Anonymity is maintained by grouping the participants'
answers. A powerful, full color report is created showing areas of alignment as
well as gaps in the perception of their skills. This report provides tangible
information to help the leader as well as the organization improve. From that
point, leaders are able to participate in an individualized Skillbuilder series
of programs to build on the area identified through the Checkpoint 360 Degree
Feedback System.

notably employee retention and the bottom line.
