Customized to measure the high-priority leadership competencies you value or which are highly valued in your organization. ($350)

Emotional Intelligence Assessments

ECI, EQ-i and EQ Map – three instruments designed to help individuals assess their Emotional Intelligence, or their ability to sense their own emotions and those of others and use that information to manage themselves and their interactions with others more productively. The Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) is a 360 assessment based on the work of Daniel Goleman ($135). Developed by Reuven Bar-On, the EQ-I can be administered either as a 360 or as a self-assessment ($95). The EQ Map is a self-assessment developed by Esther Orioli of Essi Systems ($75).

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Styles Inventory and The Conflict Lens®

Designed to help individuals and teams understand the various approaches and behaviors associated with conflict so they may choose more productive means of managing it. Conflict is inevitable in the workplace and in life. It’s how it’s managed that can make all the difference. Thomas Kilmann ($55) and The Conflict Lens® ($125).

Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Profile

A tool for executives who want to understand their strengths and vulnerabilities in the area of critical thinking, a crucial skill for career progression. ($95)

MAPP (Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential)

Your MAPP assessment reveals your natural motivations and talent for work. When your job matches your true motivations, work seems easier and is more fulfilling. ($150)

NEO-PI

A powerful personality profile useful for management and leadership development, succession planning, new employee assimilation and retention, and teambuilding. NEO-PI Professional Development Reports provide practical advice to individual executives in four major areas: problem solving; planning, organizing and implementation skills; style of relating to others; and personal style (including values and approach to life, temperament, and degree of emotional self-control). Both the Individual and Management reports conclude with a summary of the individual’s most distinctive characteristics and the potential consequences (positive and negative) of attitudes and behavioral patterns in the work setting and for life in general. ($225)

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)®

A time-honored and well-recognized personality assessment, the MBTI provides a useful method for understanding people by looking at eight personality preferences that everyone uses at different times. The MBTI has been used for decades in many organizations for team building and in understanding individual differences. ($125)

FIRO-Element B

The “Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation – Behavior” assessment is a personality instrument that measures how individuals typically behave with other people and how they expect others to behave with them. Its interpretation can dramatically increase an executive’s understanding of behavior in areas such as how they come across to others, how and why conflict develops, and how to understand one’s own needs and how to manage the needs of others. Another powerful and highly reliable stalwart of the assessment industry, FIRO-Element B has been in use for almost 40 years for personal and professional management development, improving communication and interpersonal skills, and teambuilding. ($95)

Leadership Practices Inventory

Based on the timeless Kouzes and Posner leadership model, this 360 inventory enables individuals to learn about and evaluate themselves on the five fundamental practices of leadership elucidated in The Leadership Challenge. Those practices include being willing to take risks and learn from them, inspiring others, enabling others, modeling behavior, and encouraging others. ($275)

The Comprehensive Leader

This learning instrument provides individuals with the tools they need to develop and hone their visionary leadership skills. Through a simple but potent model, the concepts of visionary leadership become plainly apparent. The Comprehensive Leader assesses specific behaviors that demonstrate an in-depth understanding of strategic and visionary thinking so that participants can learn how to practice visionary leadership. Ideal for senior executives, team or department leaders, middle managers, senior-level contributors, and individuals without permanent supervisory responsibility but who play a leadership role in the organization. ($95)

Team Leader Survey

This assessment provides leaders or potential leaders of self-managing teams with the opportunity to gain a clear understanding of their skill level in interacting with their teams. The Survey is a 360° feedback tool. That is, leaders not only evaluate themselves but may also receive feedback from the team members they lead, their peers, and/or their managers. Leaders will learn useful information about themselves, recognize some of their strengths, identify some areas they want to change, and commit to specific action plans to aid in their development. In addition, the entire survey process can open the lines of communication between the leader and others in the organization. ($55)

Team Effectiveness Profile (TEP)

A diagnostic instrument designed to assist team leaders in improving the performance of their teams and work satisfaction among team members. At times it is difficult to surface issues that block a team’s effectiveness. These issues can remain undisclosed for years, draining a team’s energy and undermining its productivity. The TEP helps teams systematically identify issues hindering team effectiveness, and begin to reduce or eliminate them. ($55)

Profile of Negotiation Styles

This learning instrument is designed to help anyone who negotiates gain a greater understanding of how his or her behavior is likely to affect his/her negotiating results. Negotiation is a specialized form of communication, a form ideally aimed at mutual need satisfaction. This learning instrument helps individuals learn their preferred negotiation style(s) and those of others, when to use the various styles, and how to negotiate with others using different styles. Can also be administered as a “mini-360”. ($55)

Work Satisfaction and Renewal

This assessment series consists of the Personal Development Planner and the Employee Development Planner for Managers. It helps employees - with or without their managers - to create a customized development plan that will set the direction for their professional growth. Managers often mistakenly assume that high performing workers are satisfied. But this is not always the case! Some high performers can continue to deliver results despite the fact that they are not deriving personal satisfaction from the work. An individual's satisfaction with work is a product of both an ability to perform the work and an inherent motivation to do it. While the ultimate responsibility rests with employees, supporting their development is one of the most important contributions managers can make towards satisfying and retaining them in the long run. This learning instrument is ideally suited to support a dialogue between managers and their employees. ($55)

The Problem Solving Style Inventory

The (PSSI) is designed to help supervisors, managers, and team leaders identify their dominant and supportive styles of solving problems and making decisions in their work units or teams. It enables them to understand what styles of problem solving and decision making they are predisposed to use or not use, and whether their use of the five problem-solving and decision-making styles is appropriate for their work units or teams. It acquaints them with the important factors to be considered when choosing one of the styles to solve a work unit problem or make a work unit decision. And it enables them to compare their use of the five problem-solving and decision-making styles with a norm group of 137 supervisors and managers who previously completed the PSSI. ($55)

Interpersonal Influence Inventory

Do the people in your organization know how they "come across" to others? Help them to become more effective communicators, and show them how to use their influence wisely with the Interpersonal Influence Inventory (III). Influence style has become increasingly important in recent years as organizations have become less hierarchical and more diverse. Because focus has shifted from competition to collaboration, the skills needed to function effectively have shifted from skills of control to skills of influence. Interviews with leaders in the private and public sector determined that organizational vision cannot be established by edict or coercion, but rather through persuasion. For this reason human relations and communication skills have become paramount. For well over a decade, this popular instrument has helped thousands of professionals assess, and if necessary, modify their interpersonal influence style. ($55)

Communication Styles Inventory

Sometimes also called the Leadership Communication Styles Inventory (LCSI), this learning instrument helps professionals understand their preferred communication style and the styles preferred by others. It helps individuals learn how best to work with, motivate, and understand others, and how to adjust their communication style to ideally connect with others. ($35)

OCI

The Organizational Culture Inventory, and its complement, the Organizational Effectiveness Inventory (OEI) enhance an executive’s ability to understand, evaluate and make needed changes to an organization’s culture. The OCI and OEI can be used in mergers, acquisitions and new strategic alliances to identify an ideal culture toward which the new and larger enterprise can progress. It can be used to identify and transfer the cultures of high-performance units to the rest of the organization, and it can help an executive align differentiated organizational subunits. These instruments are especially useful in identifying possible areas for organizational change as well as strategies for enhancing performance and the quality of customer service. (Cost depends on the size of the organization and number of respondents – call for information.)

And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover. ($25)
