Case 2: Leader Assessment & Development

After 12 years of successfully leading a struggling college campus, the President realized that he needed to review his skills in light of some looming challenges.  He requested that the Hallmarks of Excellence^® be administered to him.

Aware that the abilities and competencies that had helped him previously were not likely to be the same ones needed to take the college to the next level of effectiveness, he wanted to be evaluated from multiple perspectives to gain a comprehensive picture of his strengths and limitations.  

The findings indicated that his strategic, communication and critical thinking competencies were strengths, but the effective use of time, managing multiple projects, and team building were weaknesses and creating gaps in his overall performance.  

A customized executive development plan was initiated by combining the findings with his current and anticipated challenges to increase his leadership capacity, focus and performance.
