Personal skills assessment tools aim to provide an indication of the quality of involvement and of the quantity of energy a given individual (whether in a management position or not) or group will be able to dedicate to their professional project. Both individual and collective assessment processes should result in the design of an action plan that will allow for the training and development of the selected project leader(s).
In order to develop one’s self-management capacity, one should be able to assess both one’s strengths and weaknesses in relation to a given professional mission. Similarly, it is important to know the strenghts and limits of one’s team members, in order to be able to coach them in an effective manner.
SELF-COACHING
This self-assessment sheet (exercises) invites you to assess both your personal foundations and those of your people with the aim of developing them in a targeted manner. Of course, this is only one of the questionnaires that may be used to this end, and you may also want to refer to specialized books, websites or cabinets. In any case, you would gain from integrating statistically validated assessment tools into this approach.
These exercises are taken from chapters 13 and 14 of the book “Management by Coaching: Coping with Complexity in a Changing World”.
