Far and away the best survey of management competency and performance is a 360 degree survey assessment It makes improving management almost as easy as a FIX IT Button. This is the premier measurement tool for evaluating management and their effectiveness. It streamlines the process by making it easy to complete online and into a comparatively short survey instrument by focusing on the eighteen most important, common management skills. Not only does this make it easy to administer and track or compare between managers and rank their results, but it can be used to analylze the overall management teams effectiveness in anwhich makes it easier to make quantum improvements by focusiing training and coaching on the most important improvement opportunities across the entire management team. In some assessments the graphics from the indiviidual report are excellent, color-coded, concise and easy to understand making it a simple tool for individual manager and supervisor discussions and improvement goal-setting. The icing on the cake is that every skill set also has the option of a companion training model available through a variety of sources which can also be completed online along with tele-coaching support and the implementation of action plans right in the workplace. It shortens the time from the assessment results to improvements in performance considerably so that employees and managers alike can see differences more quickly which adds to the integrity and trustworthiness of the entire process. Likewise, this years results can be easily compared to the next assessments results and progress monitored ffor the Executive. Since most employees cite a difference or disagreement with their manager as the leading reason for leaving a job this is one of the most valuable assessments in running a tight ship. Ineffective managers can sometimes get by on positive results for years without an effective way to measure whether their behaviors are consistent with the company values and aligned with the organizations leadership, The Checkpoint 360 addresses this in pointed detail. In additon to a Self rating by the Assessment-Taker, Supervisors, Peers and subordinates make up the balance of those surveyed about the particular manager and the gaps between responses. The priority importance is also weighted by the Supervisor, which makes for a more effective interpretation, understanding of the results and I'm sure some interesting disucssions. Some companies have drifted away from this process in the past when their in-house HR departments tried to take the cheap route and delivered ineffective results and a poor or easily manipulated process skewing the results and value. The CheckPoint 360 does not have these issues as it is easily considered one of the leaders in the industry, is easy to administer online, and reports are easy to interpret with actionable data. Could it get any sweeter?
