Tools and assessments are the norm these days. On one hand, you feel you are done with them. On the other hand, you know you need them. Here are some reasons why tools and assessments are beneficial to you:
For managers who want to receive feedback from their existing environment to become a stronger, better leader. It is hard to give feedback to your co-workers. It is even harder to get feedback from them. Constructive feedback is essential to your performance.
For managers who want unadulterated, honest feedback from their environment. Colleague Review is an effective feedback tool that gathers razor sharp insights from your immediate environment. This includes your staff, your boss, and your peers. Feedback is done through one-on-one interviews by trained interviewers.
It is a question on every manager’s mind - are your staff checked in or out? How engaged are they to their work? How motivated are they by your company’s mission? Are they inspired by their managers?

For managers who want to gain an insight in the quality of their leadership. A person’s leadership style is revealed through their meetings. It is the topics they choose to discuss, decisions they make, their ability to motivate and draw out contributions from the participants.
For managers who want an impartial evaluation on their political acumen, organisational awareness, decision making, delegating and prioritising ability. How quick are you in sensing organisational subtlety? Do you have the political acumen to deal with delicate situations and avoid public relations catastrophes?
