NEW! Management Effectiveness Profile

It stands to reason that a good manager - an effective manager, that is - must be skilled in a number of broad areas or competencies considered critical if the manager is to help the organization achieve its goals. The Management Effectiveness Profile helps managers to identify personal strengths and weaknesses within 12 specific competency areas so that they can begin to strengthen and master them.

In this profile, a manager's effectiveness as coach and leader is tied to the following competencies:

MANAGING YOUR JOB

      Managing and Prioritizing Time
      Setting Goals and Standards
      Planning and Scheduling Work

RELATING TO OTHERS

      Listening and Organizing
      Giving Clear Information
      Getting Unbiased Information

BUILDING THE TEAM

      Training, Coaching and Delegating
      Appraising People and Performance
      Disciplining and Counseling

THINKING CLEARLY

      Identifying and Solving Problems
      Making Decisions and Weighing Risk
      Thinking Clearly and Analytically

This questionnaire has been designed as a self-scoring management effectiveness instrument to help individuals understand more about their relative abilities. The twelve key managerial competency areas listed above under four clusters (representing a complete model of managerial effectiveness) are treated separately and then combined to create the individual's overall profile.

The Management Effectiveness Profile is available on paper or online and in a self, 180-degree and 360-degree format.

Leadership Effectiveness Profile also available.


Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS)

NEW!  Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS)

The Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS) is a 70-item, multiple-choice, untimed test that taps the knowledge required for successful supervision.

Based on careful, repeated factor analyses of supervisory behavior, TOSS provides norms that allows a comparison of scores with a large (1,000+) number of supervisory and non-supervisory profile. TOSS is a paper-and-pencil administered profile.

The new version of this well-established screening instrument has separate test booklets and self-scoring answer sheets and a revised, enhanced technical and administrative manual.

TOSS is a valid instrument for evaluating both applicants for supervisory positions and those being considered for promotion to such positions.

Effective first-line supervision is one of the keys to creating and maintaining an effective organization.  Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a first-line supervisor is an essential initial step to development of the skills and behaviors that characterize effective supervision.  The Test of Supervisory Skills (TOSS) is a reliable and valid measure of the understanding that people have of these roles and responsibilities.

The basic rationale underlying the development of TOSS is that an individual who understands what constitutes good supervisory practices can discriminate between effective and ineffective practices and will be more likely to be an effective supervisor.  On the other hand, persons lacking such understanding will be less likely to be an effective supervisor.

In the course of developing the TOSS seven factors--the essential components of supervisory behavior--emerged. 

These factors, described in detail in the manual, are; management of performance quality, staffing and personnel actions, communications, interpersonal relations, problem analysis and resolution, project planning, and direct supervision.  This test is suitable for both applicants for entry-level supervisory positions to determine their readiness and for more experienced individuals.  For the latter group this test may be particularly useful for diagnostic and training purposes, to identify areas among the seven factors of strength and others needing additional development.
