Summary
This People Development Effectiveness profile provides a comprehensive competency based process for assessing an individual’s capacity to develop other people (over the short, medium and long term).
Details
Developing people is fundamentally concerned with helping people to learn to develop themselves. In other words, it is essentially about investing the effort to create a climate in which people feel that it is safe to learn and in which an individual can see possibilities for personal growth and greater fulfillment at work (that were not obviously apparent to them beforehand).
This People Development Effectiveness profile provides a comprehensive competency based process for assessing an individual’s capacity to develop other people (over the short, medium and long term). This is done by measuring the respondent’s people development ability in the following seven categories:
• People assessment ability
• Empowerment ability
• Rapport building skills
• Motivational ability
• Constructive feedback giving ability
• Coaching ability
• Forward path identification skills
By rating themselves on a scale of 1-5 participants can quickly determine their relative strengths in each category. Participants plot their scores onto a histogram chart that quickly sows where efforts to improve should be concentrated in the future. Detailed interpretation notes are provided for each category, including specific improvement actions for low scorers.
Target Audience
Diagnostic assessments and profiles published by Team Publications (with questions relating to competencies, attitudes, styles and behaviours) are all designed to offer individuals an opportunity to complete a simple questionnaire for themselves and via reading a full interpretive report then gain what are hopefully a number of new insights into themselves. The products can easily be used by individuals, teams, trainers, coaches, managers, HR professionals, and others engaging in or managing a development journey. Assessments of this kind can help individuals to reflect on their relative strengths and development needs on a structured basis. In addition to self-assessment, many of the products offer options for 180-degree feedback (to bring a supervisor or managers perspective to the individual) or 360-degree feedback (bringing a manager and a group of colleagues perspective in aggregate).
Product Series
All WCOD/Team Publications assessments include interpretive information regarding your scores, along with development and action planning suggestions.
Facilitators Guides and Detailed Coaching Guides are also available in AchievePro estore for most of these assessments, and include more information on each of the dimensions measured, development paths, and coaching tips. They are most frequently used by managers, trainers and coaches who want to offer a richer coaching experience or to run face-to-face sessions with groups of people who have undertaken an assessment.
All WCOD diagnostic instruments and assessments fall into three main categories, with a range of different instruments or assessments available in each:
- Assessments
that measure the person or the individual in terms of specific
competencies. Profiles that measure the person in terms of competency
are all inventory type tools which use histogram graphs to indicate
particular skills in a given area. This might include leadership or
management competencies or particular competencies such as selling or
time management ability, for example.
- Assessments
that help to measure a particular task or situation (and how a
particular individual handles it). Instruments which take a
"Situational" perspective generally use a four quadrant grid format to
help an individual to determine which style he or she seems to favor
the most in a given situation. Once known the person can access how
readily he or she may be able to "flex" into the available styles in
order to match the different circumstances or "Situations" that may be
encountered on a day to day basis.
- Assessments that measure individual behavioral style. Profiles that measure a person's behavior or their style allow individuals to answer a series of paired statements, which ultimately plot their output scores onto a four-quadrant grid. This grid will show a dominant and a secondary preferred style in the particular situation, and give individuals an indication of what they are likely to encounter in terms of behavior when they face a specific set of circumstances.
