Leadership Development: Assessments

Assessments as Developmental Tools
for Faculty and Administrators

We have a number of resources to help faculty and administrators seeking development.  We have a variety of ways to assess skills and identify the kinds of development opportunities that might serve their goals. Using these assessments is also an effective way to learn about key leadership concepts with quick application to one’s day-to-day environment.

For more information about any of these assessments, please contact us.

Assessments Overview

Leadership and Management Skills

The CPI 260® Assessment

We use the CPI 260® assessment because it is exceptionally good at showing a helpful and accurate picture of one’s current leadership characteristics. It’s a very revealing look through an unusual perspective: the assessment is designed to show you how you appear to objective and knowledgeable others. The CPI 260® assessment always provides insights, stimulates useful reflection, and illuminates paths toward stronger leadership.

We typically use the CPI 260® assessment inside a series of coaching sessions designed to highlight important insights and integrate them into the individual’s life context. The written reports and coaching sessions also address the degree to which strategies fit the current context, how strengths can be further developed, and the warning indicators that a strength may also have become a weakness.

The MBTI® Instrument

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument provides a revealing look into how we prefer to do things. In addition to insight into one’s own behavior, this can open doors to seeing and understanding others more clearly. The MBTI® instrument is excellent for exploring awareness of self, energy management strategies, expanding awareness of others’ preferences, and related skill development to improve leadership capacity.

Conflict Modes

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode inventory

The TKI® assessment is a useful tool for understanding one’s responses to conflict. It identifies the kinds of conflict resolution strategies that are currently most and least appealing to you as an individual. Moreover, it gives suggestions and guides for making better strategic use of different ways to address conflict.
