HR Competencies

• Leadership and Navigation
• Ethical Practice

Objective

Supervisors and Managers often have no way of getting the feedback they need to improve as leaders of people and process. This 360 instrument gives participants valuable feedback from their boss, peers, direct reports and others regarding a comprehensive set of management competencies. In addition, participants receive an online support guide and action planning resources to apply the feedback they receive.

SKILLSCOPE was designed by the Center for Creative Leadership and is based on decades of research analyzing management success. This in-depth instrument measures 15 key management competencies and 98 behavioral items. The clear, graphic SKILLSCOPE report is easy to interpret and provides anonymous feedback from all raters except the boss. SKILLSCOPE is specifically designed as a developmental tool, and therefore results are given only to the class participant.

Benefits of SKILLSCOPE are:

• Valuable, Relevant Feedback—SKILLSCOPE provides managers with insightful and valuable feedback on their strengths and developmental areas from their bosses, peers, and direct reports.
• Easy to Use—SKILLSCOPE is written in simple, straightforward language and takes only 20 minutes to complete. The feedback report clearly identifies strengths and developmental needs. The Development Planning Guide helps participants summarize and interpret their data and create an action plan toward improvement.
• Research-Based—SKILLSCOPE shows high test-retest reliability and a high internal reliability for the questionnaire.
• Multiple Uses—SKILLSCOPE may be used as a stand-alone development instrument or as a supplement to in-house training programs. It can be used to develop individual managers or to assess developmental needs across your entire organization.
