Leadership Readiness Assessment
|
Peter Koestenbaum has identified the “new economy pathology” as having impossible demands that generate an unprecedented form of stress... and the leaders is supposed to enjoy it! In this New Era, the strengths and weaknesses of the leader’s private life flow into his/her corporate life. The blurring of lines between work and leisure increases the visibility of a leader’s character. The Leadership Readiness Assessment is designed to assess the readiness of leaders to lead in times of change and to provide a framework that poses a solution to the challenges of leading in the 21st Century. This begins with a realistic assessment of the basic questions about work and life.
This assessment tool enables leaders to examine the integration of character (who we are) and competence (what we do), and provides an organization with a realistic picture of how well equipped its leaders are to meet future challenges. The Leadership Readiness Assessment looks at three areas:
· Head: Cognitive framework; mental frameworks or intellectual assets (know-how).
· Hands: Skills; core competencies; skill set; abilities, experience.
· Heart: Passion; motivation; fire in the belly.
