Achieving Leader Study
The study proves effective leadership is not accidental. There is a model for effective leadership that exists and it can be modeled by others.
Details of The Achieving Leader Study
Originally conducted with over 60,000 participants (approximately 16,000 managers and 48,000 co-workers with thousands more added over time to the normative databases used in our learning instruments.)
Managers are rated as HIGH, AVERAGE and LOW achievers based on a standard called the Managerial Achievement Quotient (MAQ). This allows managers to be compared across companies--including for profit, non-profit, government.
Using our validated instruments (the same ones used by MFM participants), each manager's behavior is measured in key competency areas:
Management Values
Employee Involvement
Communication Style
Motivation Style
Use of Power
Empowerment Style
Overall Leadership Style
Each manager is given a survey and feedback is also gathered from at least three of their direct reports for each of these behavioral characteristics.
The study was conducted by Jay Hall, Ph.D., the founder of Teleometrics.
THE RESULTS ARE ASTONISHING! The top achievers do indeed exhibit consistent managerial and leadership behaviors and characteristics across all aspects tested. These leaders create an environment of involvement, commitment, and creativity that propel their teams to new heights of achievement.
How do they do it and what do they all have in common?
Using the Achieving Manager as a Leadership Benchmark, Models for Management employs a proven effective development process that allows participants the opportunity to observe, experience, learn, model and practice the effective behaviors of High Achieving Leaders while assessing their own behaviors against the benchmark. The model of the High Achieving Leader becomes the benchmark for personal and organizational development.
