MAP - Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (click here)
At a time when change is accelerating at unprecedented speed, many of the factors that lead to accomplishment for managers and supervisors remain unchanged. MAP remains the leading objective, video-based, assessment of managerial competence in the world. MAP holds this position of leadership for good reason because it causes people to take active ownership of their development, gets them motivated to participate in learning, and for the first time, provides hard evidence of the results of learning what has been called soft skills in the past.People who have been assessed via MAP and are following their Individual Development Plan ( IDP ) attend training sessions as "developers", eager to learn , grow and positively change their behavior. MAP graduates do not show up for training as " vacationers" simply passing the time or worse as "prisoners" who admit that you may have their body but not their mind.

Managing to Excel (click here)
Half-day Excel Workshops are complete hands-on experiential training modules, ready to be delivered by your training staff, or better yet, other managers who will be around to make sure that the lessons learned will be transfered from the workshop to the workplace where the real results are created. Each competency is isolated for training in its own workshop. The Leader's Guide provides the facilitator with lesson plans, a PowerPoint presentation, handouts, and guidance on leading experiential exercises. Everything the facilitator of the session needs is included. We can run this program for you or provide everything that your people will need to run it in-house on their own, let us know if you want to take a closer look at MAP and Excel today via our on-site contact form

 

360 Degree Feedback - Perspectives
Perspectives is the ideal 360-Feedback rating assessment for providing information on how a manager utilizes the 12 fundamental managerial competencies. It also includes ratings for 5 leadership competencies. The Perspectives competency model aligns perfectly with the MAP/Excel Development System.

MAP measures what a manager knows, while Perspectives measures how a manager deploys that knowledge in the real world. A detailed report provides an easy to understand graphical rating of both the required proficiency and rated proficiency for all competencies, and comes complete with Development Suggestions.
