Management Skills Assessment for Middle Managers - $100.00

There are many lists of essential skills for middle managers. Ours comes from 10 years of training for the Office of Training and Development of the Rhode Island Department of Administration in Rhode Island, an organization that provides training to both government agencies and the nonprofit community. We have taught groups of middle managers and supervisors 15-24 hour courses in a variety of topics, including supervision, change management, critical communication skills, strategic management, and program evaluation. Over time, we have interacted with well over 500 middle managers and supervisors. As part of each of our courses, we have encouraged our students to keep a journal of their attempts to use their new knowledge and, in reading these journals, have come to a rich understanding of the unique challenges that individuals face in these roles. This survey is designed to help middle managers plan their own skill development and to assist government and nonprofit organizations to engage in meaningful discussions of professional development with their middle management and supervisory staff. It focuses attention on two areas: Human Relations and Conceptual Skills. The survey can be used by one individual in order to devise a customized professional development plan, or, it can be administered to a large number of managers and supervisors. The collated results will then indicate patterns of needed professional development and can be used to guide decisions about training needs and curriculum content as well as coaching. This survey can also be administered online and interpreted by FIO Partners for an additional fee.
