Download or read book Three Hundred and Sixty degree Feedback written by Jennifer M. Thurman and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Three hundred and sixty degree feedback refers to a unique method of providing feedback on one's performance; it gathers information from a variety of sources, usually peers, direct reports, supervisor, and self. Today, more and more companies are using 360-degree feedback in the workplace (Tornow, 1993). The influx of this instrument into a variety of industries has many implications. For example, Brutus, Fleenor, and London (in press) found that peer and direct report ratings for public organizations are, overall, more positive than peer and direct report ratings for private organizations. The purpose of this research is to further investigate the differences between peer and direct report ratings in the military versus private organizations, as well as the impact of the focal manager's personality scores on those ratings. It was found that peer and direct report ratings for the military were significantly more positive than peer and direct report ratings for private organizations. Furthermore, after statistically controlling for the effects of the focal manager's personality, the differences in the direct report ratings no longer existed. The results indicate that military direct reports may be focusing more on the focal manager's personality when rating them on the 360-degree measure. This suggests that multi-rater feedback may result in different ratings in different industries and these differences may need to be accounted for during the development, scoring, and feedback processes.

Book excerpt: "Enhancing the leadership skills of Soldiers is of primary importance to the U.S. Army. A critical step in the process of leader development is self-awareness through self-assessment. Such insight is important because identifying and assessing trainable competencies that facilitate maximum leadership effectiveness creates a strategic advantage. This report describes the psychometric properties and common competencies assessed by the Leader AZIMUTH Check, a 360-degree feedback instrument for Army leaders. The AZIMUTH was designed and implemented by the Army Research Institute (ARI) to improve leader common competency development, leader-directed feedback, and enhance leader self-awareness. The purposes of the present research project were to establish a factor structure of common competencies, the minimum number of raters required for adequate reliability, conceptual agreement across rating sources, rating patterns and behaviors, and validity evidence of the AZIMUTH."--DTIC.

Download or read book The Future of Leadership Development written by Susan Elaine Murphy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.
Download or read book Coming to Terms with Student Outcomes Assessment written by Peggy L. Maki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Assessment on college campuses has a sordid history, and it is fairly simple to find someone with a traumatic tale to tell. It is wise to respect that that reputation is deserved.” “How do you modify the inner workings and culture of a massive institution with minimal resources and even less authority (other than GE course approvals), and thousands and thousands of talented people busy doing other things?”“The road to departmental assessment can seem both dramatic and apocalyptic, especially if one’s departmental ‘centre cannot hold,’ and purpose falls apart. The Department of English and Linguistics is presently on this journey, slouching towards its own revelations of mission and fulfillment of purpose.” “I have become more optimistic about the potential value of the process, even if some of my initial skepticism remains. This skepticism, however, has been valuable, forcing me to think in more concrete ways about what I do in the classroom.”As these excerpts show, this is no conventional book about assessment. It presents the unvarnished first-person accounts of fourteen faculty and administrators about how they grappled, and engaged, with assessment and how – despite misgivings and an often-contentious process – they were able to gain the collaboration of their peers as the benefits for student learning became evident.This is a book for skeptical faculty, for those who have been tasked to spearhead their institution’s call to create a culture of assessment; and, on campuses where assessment has been widely accepted and implemented, for those who now need to ensure this commitment will endure.For all these audiences, this book offers valuable advice, strategies, models and ideas.

Download or read book The Cost of Bad Behavior written by Christine Pearson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why incivility at work is a bigger problem than you suspect In an accessible and informative style, Pearson and Porath examine the toll that bad behavior can have on otherwise well-functioning companies. And they reveal strategies that successful organizations are using to stop incivility before it takes hold. Whether it's a standoffish coworker or an arrogant boss, incivility at the office doesn't just affect the moods of a few employees; it hurts an entire company. Consider these statistics: 12 percent of all employees say they've left jobs because they were treated badly. Fortune 1000 executives spend roughly seven weeks per year resolving employee conflicts. And an astonishing 95 percent of Americans say they've experienced rudeness at work. Christine Pearson and Christine Porath examine the devastating toll that bad behavior can have on otherwise well-functioning companies. Combining their own scientific research with stories from fields as diverse as criminology, education, and psychology, they show how to spot the roots of incivility, rip them out, and create a culture of respect. They urge managers to stop making excuses, set a zero-tolerance policy, and lead by example. Bestsellers like The No Asshole Rule and The Power of Nice have shown the hunger for more civility at work; now The Cost of Bad Behavior shows exactly what to do about it.

These include relationships with customers, relationships with peers and influencers, and finally, relationships with strategic vendor partners.
