Introduction

Managers must pragmatically balance day-to-day operations while staying aligned with corporate goals. They are responsible for delivering results in a complex mix of people, process and organizational forces.

You have been assessed on the behaviors associated with managerial success in five domains and 15 competencies. Considering your management approach in contrast with these behaviors will suggest some techniques and tips for your success.

The following report is a detailed examination of your own evaluation of your management competencies and behaviors. This Assessment Instrument for ManagersTM (AIM) captures and reports all of the data that we received in time for processing concerning your management capabilities. This report contains the 4 parts.

Critical Components of Managerial Success explains the competency model that serves as the foundation for this instrument.

Your Results: Management Components, Competencies, and Comments presents your results in the context of the management components and competencies in the AIM. It also contains your results with respect to the open-ended questions.

Summary of Results highlights those competencies that were rated highest and lowest by others. It also provides information on those areas that represent the largest gaps between your scores and other rater group scores. Finally, this part includes your top ten highest and your top ten lowest rated items.

Individual Development section offers a systematic process to assist you in forming an Individual Development Plan.

The N signifies the total number of responses received for all items in each respective competency. B Competency Summary This section averages all item ratings within a competency by the self and all rater responses. The N signifies the total number of responses received for all items in each respective competency. C Competency Summary (Ranked by Rating) This section averages all item ratings within a competency by all raters and sorts them by the resulting average for highest to lowest. The N signifies the total number of responses received for all items in each respective component/skill. D Item Results Graphical and numerical data regarding ratings for each specific item are depicted by rater group. E Comments Comments from your raters are categorized by rater group. Comments will not appear on aggregate reports. PART IV: Summary Results F Self Gaps Items in which the ratings between the Self rating and the average ratings of other groups are greater than 30% are listed here. The gaps are provided for each rater group. G Highest and Lowest Rated Items The items with the highest and lowest ratings from all raters are provided in this section. The number of items listed is determined as a percentage of the total number of items in the assessment instrument. If the average is within the highest 20% of the scale, the item will not be displayed as a low rating. If the average is within the lowest 20%, the item will not be displayed as a high rating.

PART I

CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF MANAGERIAL SUCCESS

Page 5

THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF MANAGERIAL SUCCESS Achieving mastery of the managerial role requires capabilities in fifteen key areas, which can be sorted into five broad categories:

• Manage Self

• Manage Relationships

• Manage People & Teams

• Manage Results & Process

• Manage Across Teams The relative importance of these capabilities may vary in accordance with your specific job responsibilities and the nature of your business. Exceptional managers grow into their role such that they demonstrate each of the capabilities in a situationally appropriate mix, in alignment with the needs of their organization. In this assessment the 15 competencies are defined and each is described with five behaviors.

Rater Response The numbers below represent the number of completed surveys submitted by each rater group prior to the deadline. Please note that these numbers do not necessarily reflect the number of responses you received on each item as some individuals may not have given you feedback on every item. These figures only represent completed, submitted assessments.

Response Rate

Self (Sample) 1 1 100.00%

Manager 1 1 100.00%

Direct Reports 4 4 100.00%

Peers 3 3 100.00%

Others 4 4 100.00%

TOTAL 13 13 100.00% For non-anonymous rater groups such as Self, Manager, ratings will be shown if at least one assessment has been submitted. To preserve anonymity, our processing program will not display responses from anonymous rater groups (e.g., Direct Reports, Peers) with fewer than three submitted surveys. If fewer than three surveys have been received from a rater group, their ratings will be combined with those of another rater group. Your report will indicate which groups have been combined. For any single item with fewer than three responses in a rater group, “Insufficient Responses” will appear for that item in lieu of data.

How to Read Your Report

1 Component Heading – This is the component into which the items are grouped. In this example,

“Managing Myself” is shown. 2 Symbol Key – This key will be useful in determining the meaning of different symbols used

throughout the report. The triangle symbols indicate that this item is one of the highest/lowest rated items in the report from a rater group; the horizontal arrows indicate significant gaps, either positive or negative, between the Self rating and the average rating from any other rater group.

3 Scale – In the above example, the rating scale used is a 5-point scale ranging from “Rarely

Demonstrates” to “Almost Always Demonstrates.”

4 Item Results – This graph shows the results by rater group for a specific item. This and other similar items create a category.

5 Rater Groups – These titles depict the different rater groups that provided feedback. In this

example, responses from the participant’s Direct Reports, Peers, Direct Manager, and the participant (labeled as Self) are shown.

6 Mean Bar – The bars graphically depict the average of the ratings for each rater group. In this

example, the average of the ratings from Direct Reports is 4.25 for the item. The vertical line indicates the Self rating. This line is included so that participants can easily see the differences between their Self rating and the ratings of others.

7 Distribution – The numbers above each mean bar show the number of ratings provided for each

point on the rating scale for that particular rater group. In this example, four Direct Reports responded to the item. Of those, one provided a rating of “Sometimes Demonstrates” and three a rating of “Almost Always Demonstrates.”

8 Normative Average – This column shows the normative average. This is provided to compare

the participant’s average ratings to others who have participated in this assessment process, utilizing this survey.

PART IV

Summary of Results

Summary of Results

This analysis is provided to help you analyze the information contained in the report. The following pages will help you do the following:

Review the summary sections Use the data and analyses provided in Part IV: Summary of Results to identify:

• Competencies and behaviors that represent relative strengths for you and that you may use to help support others

• Competencies and behaviors that represent relative development opportunities for you

• Areas in which you rated yourself very differently from others

Identify your strengths Your strengths are those areas in which you were rated the highest. Use the summary and item data to identify:

• Those competencies and items that received the highest rating and/or where you rated yourself significantly lower than others

• Ways in which your strengths may be used to bolster yourself in areas needing development or to compensate for those areas

Identify your developmental needs Development needs are opportunities for personal and/or professional growth. Use the summary and item data to identify:

• Those competencies and items that received the lowest rating and/or where you rated yourself significantly higher than others

• Areas or themes which are derived from several combined scores (low and high)

Get clarification • Look at the individual item scores to further refine the action you need to

take

• Test your assumptions of what you should develop by looking again at the Summary pages, the Item pages, and the Strengths and Opportunities for Development pages

PART V

Individual Development

Development Planning

Development planning will ensure that your current insights will actually help you to overcome your management challenges and achieve your goals. This final step will help you use what you have learned to plan to address your development needs and leverage your strengths.

Follow the directions below to complete the “Addressing Development Needs” and “Leveraging Strengths” sections on the last two pages of this report.

Directions: 1. Write your goals in the first column. These should be based on your high and low

scores, differences between rater groups, and differences between your self-evaluation and others’ evaluation of you.

• Start with no more than two goals for addressing development needs and three goals for leveraging strengths. Strive for only 1-2 development goals to focus on in the end. Creating more goals than these will inevitably hinder your ability to focus on any of them.

• Be as specific as possible in writing your goals. For example, “Improve my ability to negotiate roles and responsibilities in the merged IT organizations” is much more useful than “Improve my negotiation skills.”

2. In the second column, explain why each goal is important to you.

• You should only be setting goals that will build your capability to address critical management challenges and/or to pursue your career goals. Having a clear sense of why your goals are important should help you maintain your focus on achieving them.

3. In the third column, explain the actions you will take to achieve each goal.

• What you will do/change now: The specific things you can do or start immediately to begin achieving your development goals. They may involve, for example, further self-awareness exercises, or resolutions to immediately change specific behaviors.

• Other developmental activities: These are the longer-term activities and changes that you plan to make. They may involve books to read, courses to take, projects to attempt, a mentoring relationship you’d like to establish, and the like.

Development Planning

4. In the fourth column, explain what support you need from others, in terms of time and/or resources: What, specifically, will you ask them to provide?

Note: Having a coach you trust and respect may be the single most important factor in achieving your development goals. This person may support you with regular check-in meetings or periodic feedback on an as-needed basis. He or she may also be able to provide resources such as time off for training, access to experts, and so on. The coach may be your manager or someone else with whom you have a good relationship and who can help you reach your development goals.

5. Finally, think about the obstacles you will encounter in reaching your goals and what you can do to avoid or overcome them. Two of the most common are:

• Lack of time. If time is a problem, you might try to identify certain time-efficient “practices” you can use on an everyday basis. You might also try setting aside a regular block of daily, weekly, or monthly time that you will spend working toward the goals you have set.

• Lack of support. The best remedies in this case are to identify a coach, as discussed above, and/or colleagues who have similar goals and want to partner in achieving them.

Sample Plan for Addressing Development Needs

Development Goals

Why the Goals Are Important

Actions I Will Take to Achieve Them

Support Needed

Become better at balancing the need for speed with people’s need to participate, especially when I am working under pressure.

Most immediately, need to integrate people and systems from the new acquisition. I can’t do it without their help, so if I blow the relationships now I’ll be shooting myself in the foot.

What I’ll do/change now: At the start of each meeting, do a quick mental check of my and others’ focus, energy, and openness. Other activities and completion dates: Speak with Jack (VP HR) by the end of the week, re: Who can coach me?

Need regular coaching, perhaps from someone in HR.

Improve my ability to negotiate roles and responsibilities in IT.

Merging the two IT groups will be the toughest part of the acquisition, and they’re on the shortest timeline.

What I’ll do/change now: Other activities and completion dates: Read Getting to Yes (by the end of the month) and discuss with Ellen. Look into negotiation workshops at the University. (Decide by the end of the month.)

May need funding to attend workshop. Borrow Jack’s copy of Getting to Yes.

Obstacles to Reaching Goals Steps to Overcome Them Time!

Take 30 minutes per night at home for reading and research. Keep in mind: A little time spent now is worth a lot of time later.

Support Needed

Coach key managers in exercising trusted influence.

We made the acquisition because they’re the leader in some key markets—not, unfortunately, because of their culture. For the merger to work, some of their key people are going to have to rethink their “just do it” management style.

What I’ll do/change now: Identify key people who will probably need coaching. Other activities and completion dates: As soon as possible, begin building relationships with these key people. Make the cultural issues regarding commitment and empowerment a central part of the merger planning meetings over the next two months. If any of the key people I’ve identified show signs of not getting it, address the issues with them off line.

Discuss the issue with Ellen, Jim, and Kris to get their input on how to handle the issue.

Use communication skills to keep people clued in about what’s going on during the merger.

I’ve been through mergers before, and I know how hard they are and what they can do to productivity in the short term, even when people know what’s going on. If we don’t communicate what’s going on in a caring, up-front way, people will think the worst.

What I’ll do/change now: Other activities and completion dates: At the next planning meeting, offer to lead the communication team.

Talk with Anna over at AmCore, since they just went through a big acquisition. Find out how they handled the communication issue. Also, speak with Elliot in Marketing to get his help in thinking through how we can do some mass communications with the staff.

Obstacles to Reaching Goals Steps to Overcome Them With all the pressure from the merger, the cultural issues may be shunted aside.

Getting Ellen’s, Jim’s, and Kris’s support should help us keep our focus on the issue, as will making it a formal part of the planning conversations.
