Personal Skills Leader (PS Leader)

PS Leader is a research-based leadership competency assessment that gives individuals an objective needs analyzis of their leadership effectiveness, and helps them target areas for improvement. The core of the assessment is a set of 24 clearly defined competencies that have been shown to be an essential part of effective leader performance.

The PS Leader Model is the result of years of extensive research involving over 12,000 supervisors, managers, and executives in both private and public sector organizations. This research was conducted to determine which specific skills top performing leaders possess that set them apart from average and ineffective leaders. The result was the definition of 24 "most critical" leadership competencies, which are outlined in the PS Leader Model. These competency areas involved several years of extensive research and validation in the public and private sector in the USA.

PS Leader is unique in its design in as much as it guides participants through 82 behavior based questions, but asking for responses in two independent but related scales. Firstly individuals and their raters when completing the 360-degree version of the assessment are asked to indicate the required proficiency of the behavior before then asking for perceived current proficiency. This helps to create an extremely useful comparative analyzis which shows the gap between what is current and required future performance across all 24 competency categories.
