The KUDU Performance Initiative Program
Uniquely designed to assess and measurably impact the decision-making skills of participating managers.
Assessments
1. The Leadership Competence Indicator (LCI)
The comprehensive LCI report shows the individual’s unique blend of:
-
Personality preferences
-
Emotional reactions to situations that managers typically deal with
-
The prevailing mood of the individual and the team they lead
-
Transformational leadership behavior
-
Decision making competence
-
Customer care
The report also includes tools for:
-
Using personality traits to moderate emotional reactions
-
Understanding situational work contexts
-
Developing emotional awareness and decision making competence
2. The Affective Decision Making Profile (ADMP)
For those who wish to use their own personality and/or 360 measurements, the ADMP component of the LCI may be purchased separately. The ADMP uses proprietary video clips to measure:
-
Emotional reactions to situations that managers typically face
-
The prevailing mood of the individual and the team they lead
3. The Transformational Leadership 360
Our proprietary 360 assessment is included in the comprehensive LCI. It may be purchased as a standalone and is recommended for use as a follow-up to measure progress against goals set by the individual.
4. The Work Confidence Indicator (WCI)
The 7-question WCI is a quick survey that helps determine which employees would most likely benefit from LCI assessment and training.
