Implications of the Achieving Manager Study
Using a database of thousands of leaders across many industries, the Achieving Manager Study, based in solid science, shows definitively the common behavioral characteristics that the top achieving leaders employ to set them apart from their lesser achieving colleagues.
 These leaders were most highly valued by their respective companies and were promoted faster and given the most responsibility for managing their organization's assets and people.
The Achieving Manager Study proves leadership is not just dumb-luck. There is a model for effective leadership that exists and it can be modeled by others through the Models for Management Program. |
Summary of the Achieving Manager Study
- The study began in the mid 70's by Jay Hall, Ph.D., the founder of Teleometrics.
- Starting with approximately 16,000 managers and 48,000 co-workers; today there are thousands more that have been added to the normative databases used in our learning instruments.
- Managers are divided into categories of "HIGH", "AVERAGE", and "LOW" achievers
based on a "Managerial Achievement
Quotient" (MAQ).
- Using our validated instruments, each
manager is evaluated in terms of their unique
behavioral characteristics including:
Management Values, Employee Involvement,
Communication Style, Motivation Style, Use of
Power and Empowerment Style, and overall
Leadership Style.
- Each manager is given a self-survey for each
behavioral characteristic and data is also
gathered from at least 3 of their immediate
direct reports as feedback.
- THE RESULTS ARE ASTONISHING! The top
achievers do indeed exhibit consistent
behavioral characteristics across all aspects
tested. More impressive is the fact that these
leaders use these characteristics to 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?
