 Leader-Manager Profile
Second Edition
Today’s business environment demands that all managers effectively
display both leadership and management skills. However, managers often
aren’t clear on what distinguishes these competencies — or how to
balance these two different yet complementary skill sets.
The
Leader-Manager Profile enables both your managers and your
organization to achieve success. This 36-item assessment illustrates
for managers how their competence as both a manager and a leader can
contribute to meeting the demands of the marketplace.
Learning Outcomes
-
Clarify the differences between leading and managing
-
Pinpoint the skills needed to be effective in each role
-
Understand how to balance and improve the 2 skills sets
Theory
The Leader-Manager Profile is based on the works of several well-known
management experts including Bennis, Kotter, Kouzes, Posner, and
others. The model for the assessment exemplifies both leadership and
management skills and competencies.
How It Works
The assessment presents 36 statements pertaining to either managing or
leading. After scoring is complete, participants create a profile by
plotting their leadership and management scores (as well as sub scores
for 6 individual competencies) on charts. Feedback scores from
associates provide a side-by-side comparison. Finally, an action
planning activity, worksheet, and reflection questions provide a
framework for improvement.
Uses for the Leader-Manager Profile
The Leader-Manager Profile is effective when used as a stand-alone
instrument as well as a component of a larger management or leadership
training program.

"People can be very task-oriented, but it
doesn't mean they're promotable. The Leader-Manager
Profile is a great tool that creates awareness of
the skills that make one a manager and a leader in
an organization. The assessment shows managers where
their strengths have become weaknesses -- a chart
actually illustrates where they lack in manager or
leader skills. So, you can develop a performance
improvement plan right from that. I can't coach
without it!" |
