Last
month, WJM Associates surveyed organizational development
professionals around the world, as well as WJM's
Faculty of 100+ leading thought leaders, including executive coaches,
psychologists and organizational development consultants. We
asked them to identify which single Assessment Instrument they find
the most useful for the purpose of Executive Development.
We
received 323 responses (thank you!!). The
top choices were the following:
One
hundred and twenty eight respondents included comments with their
choice. While space doesn't allow us to report all the
comments, here are several concerning the top choices:
Hogan- "Hogan
Assessment Systems have greater scientific validation, more customer
support, and a more extensive suite of training possibilities than
any assessment I have ever used. They routinely partner with
consultants and customers to validate their instruments, and
continually update knowledge about the implications of test
scores."
16PF - "I have
worked with 16 PF for over 25 years and still find it the best
selection tool on the market."
LVI - "For clear and
focused feedback for the executive, the LVI delivers. Plus, 'The
Versatile Leader' book provides a great toolkit to make the insight
based changes that are generally relevant when working with a senior
level leader."
MBTI - "MBTI
proves to be useful for communication styles and team effectiveness
within our company."
Leadership Architect (Lominger) - "Lominger
competencies are detailed and voluminous; however, they allow one to
pinpoint the area of deficiency, and they contain reasonable
'remedies' for the development of that competency."
DISC - "Have
used DiSC for years and find it very
useful, accurate not only for individual assessments but when used
properly it applies to department/group dynamics as well."
Strengthsfinders - "It looks to identify abilities and
talents and how to leverage those strengths, rather than to identify
'deficits' or 'weaknesses'. It seems that naturally people want to
emphasize and take advantage of their strengths, rather than to
compensate for their weaknesses."
Thank
you to all the participants for your time. Keep
your eye out for the next WJM Snap Survey coming your way
soon!
Best,
