HRDQ Rolls Out New Assessment That Couples Leadership with Management

Demonstrating the training industry's growing acknowledgement of the connection between capable management and financial acumen, learning resources provider HRDQ (King of Prussia, PA) has released a new assessment tool for managers designed to help them target their weak areas.
    
Called Leader-Manager Profile, the self-assessment tool consist of 36 questions, half focused on leadership issues and the other half on management. Examples of the types of things managers are asked to self-rate include their communication of the organization's direction, their ability to inspire others, the way in which they reinforce performance and how well they direct their operations.
     
James Eicher, author of the product and senior associate at consulting firm Booz, Allen & Hamilton (McLean, VA), told LLMR he believes the entire training industry is beginning to accept that "soft skills aren't so soft anymore," and is recognizing that even managers that have developed great business strategies can't always execute them properly.
     
"They realize that they have great technical skills and everybody has access to great technology, but that's not what's really impacting the bottom line. People are the variable that's left." Eicher said that in addition to HRDQ clients, he plans to use the assessments with his Booz, Allen & Hamilton customer base.
