SIG VIRTUAL - DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERS: HOW TO SELECT AND CONDUCT MEANINGFUL LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENTS
Leadership Assessments are about understanding and developing a person’s leadership capability across a number of competency areas. Lack of clarity about what leadership is, how it is related to personality, and how to measure leadership potential can prevent organizations from hiring and developing the best leaders. With so many choices of different leadership and personality assessments in the talent development industry it is easy be overwhelmed with what would work best for our organizations and clients.
In this webinar session, we will discuss three common leadership assessments: The Birkman Method, DiSC, and Hogan Assessment. Each assessment is used by talent development professionals to assess leadership behavior traits, communication skills, and enable leaders to improve team building skills. We will also uncover best practices in selecting and conducting these assessments in your workplace, and how you can even become certified in leadership assessments. Meet our panelist speakers, Michael Goodfriend, Laurie Hall, and Amy Hart, who are talent development consultants specializing in the application of popular leadership assessments used across several work industries. Join us for this phenomenal discussion on developing your leaders using leadership assessment data.
