Learning
Is there enough effective leadership behavior
at work? The "mCheck" will tell you this
and much more.
There is a way
to measure leadership skills. We mean
here the really relevant leadership
skills.
More than
100,000 senior managers and executives world-wide
have
experienced already this half test and half training process called
"mCheck".
By participating, they contributed to a rich
database behind the tool which allows
for extensive comparisons in leadership
and decision making.

Background
Leadership Learning
with the "mCheck"
The
"Management Check" provides you with quantitative
and qualitative feedback about the above mentioned
leadership skills as well as your reactions when
dealing with eight different situational factors.
These factors have been researched as the most
fundamental contributors to successful
managerial activities.
At the
same time, you will be able to estimate how
high your contribution to a positive
organizational outcome might be. A positive
organizational outcome manifests itself
through successful integration of all
employees and through their high motivational status.
A manager's behavior influences this and
thereby nourishes the organizational
foundation.
In a "Management
Check" analysis you will receive important feedback and improvement
suggestions to make your daily managerial
behavior more effective. It is almost
like training in itself when you take the "mCheck". In addition, you can
profit even more if you discuss your results
with a trained management coach.
The
"Management Check" has been used for
over two decades and has been applied
successfully in training situations by Dr.
Victor H. Vroom in over 50 Fortune 500
companies, like AT&T, Bayer, British
Airways, IBM, General Electric, Pfizer just
to mention a few. Because of its test
quality and the collected benchmark data,
the "Management Check" has given over
100,000 top managers worldwide essential
feedback to help improve their leadership
skills and the quality of their decision
making.
