Leader Manager Profile
$374.85
Starter Kit for up to 5 Participants
Today's business environment demands that all managers effectively display both leadership and management skills. However, managers often aren't clear on what distinguishes these competencies - or how to balance these two different yet complementary skill sets.
The Leader-Manager Profile enables both your managers and your organization to achieve success. This 36-item assessment illustrates for managers how their competence as both a manager and a leader can contribute to meeting the demands of the marketplace.
How It Works
The assessment presents 36 statements pertaining to either managing or leading. After scoring is complete, participants create a profile by plotting their leadership and management scores (as well as sub scores for six individual competencies) on charts. Feedback scores from associates provide a side-by-side comparison. Finally, an action planning activity, worksheet, and reflection questions provide a framework for improvement.
Uses and Applications
The Leader-Manager Profile is effective when used as a stand-alone instrument as well as a component of a larger management or leadership training program.
Learning Outcomes
- Clarify the differences between leading and managing
- Pinpoint the skills needed to be effective in each role
- Understand how to balance and improve the two skills sets
Theory
The Leader-Manager Profile is based on the works of several well-known management experts including Bennis, Kotter, Kouzes, Posner, and others. The model for the assessment exemplifies both leadership and management skills and competencies.
