Great People Works

When I started to work for a Fortune 200 company in 1971 there was no concept of Manager Fit.   A Managerial Fit Assessment had not yet been invented.  And, I'm sure there are some companies who are not ready for it yet.  The Boss like the Customer may not always be right but he was always the Boss.  People were expected to adjust their temparments to his, to follow his instructions and yada yada yada.  This is not a good strategy with Generations X, Y, and Z, which is why Managerial Fit Assessment is proving so valuable in a variety of companeis hiring a young  or well-educated work force.  It is inexpensive to take online and delivers instantaneous reports and feedback and it measures what it sounds like it measures, the "fit" between a Manager and his subordinates.  It is a useful tool for helping managers understand how their perspectives differ with their employees,   The instrument is designed to provide valuable feedback which can be used not only in improving the manager but provides actionable recommendations and advice on how to deal with each employee.  In short, it is designed to help the manager improve the productivity of each employee.  This makes it one fascinating and useful tool for any company.  It can be taken online which makes it easy to administer but there is a pencil/paper version also, (are there still people without internet access).  The simplicity of online completion with instant reporting is invaluable.   The Manager, of course, only needs to take it once and after that it is the employeees that take it and each report identifies the differences in several key areas between the two individuals.  Switch managers, no problem, the employees data is already captured and can be used to generate new reports with the new manager. Wow!

Managerial Fit Standard Measures

• Self-assurance
• Self-reliance
• Conformity
• Optimism
• Decisiveness
• Objectivity
• Approach to learning
• Assertiveness
• Sociability

This information is helpful in delegating, understanding, motivating, training and coaching employees in completion of their work and improving their performance,   Of course, there are other assessments which can do some of the same thing if that has already been used in the hiring process or previously, but the a Managerial Fit Assessment is helpful because it compares the manager with his whole team or whoever else takes the corresponding assessment.  It can add a new and someone different view since it compares two individuals versus the focus of an individual assessment which is to evaluate individuals or compare a group of indivudals to a perfomance model.

For an inexpensive but effective, quick and easy way to improve management effectiveness a Managerial Fit Assessment fits the bill perfectly.
