Leader Manager Profile™

Improve managerial effectiveness with the Leader Manager Profile™

“Used exclusively by the Australian Graduate School of Management on their Executive Programs for Middle Managers”

The performance of one group, the management team – is particularly critical to the success of any organisation. To improve performance managers need to know:

• What’s my current level of performance (as seen by others)?
• What do I need to keep doing?
• What (if anything) do I need to change?
• How do I ensure consistency of performance over time?

The Leader Manager Profile™ is a 360° feedback profile that has been developed with organisations over a 10 year period to provide an effective benchmarking and development tool for managerial development.
