Developing effective leaders takes time… only an ongoing process of development will produce sustainable results.
The Management Development Process™ was developed to address the key reasons why many management and leadership programs don’t achieve any long-term results.

Southwest Training Institute’s Management Development Competency Assessment™ is a 50 item, “360 degree” measurement of the competencies that The Management Development Process™ addresses, thereby providing the opportunity to assess the development needs of each manager both pre and post training.
As the term suggests, “360 degree” profiling is designed to give an all-round view of the manager’s performance. Where possible, views are sought from the manager being assessed, their manager, four to six peers, four to six direct reports and if required, four to six "internal customers".
The Management Development Competency Assessment™ provides managers with specific objectives to focus on as they go through The Management Development Process™ as well as feedback on how they are performing as they apply what they are learning.
It gives the manager control over his or her own development.

| Internet Based Assessment |
The Management Development Competency Assessment™ is completely Internet-based. The benefit of using the Internet is the speed of processing and immediate availability of the results once the minimum number of responses has been received. It also eliminates the need for up-front investment in software. There is also the option of adding up to 10 additional questions that are specifically client related for a small additional fee.
The steps in the process for using the Internet service are: |
- Information on the organization, the managers being rated, the employees who will be rating them, and their email addresses, are entered into the database. In the case of a large organization these details can be imported from an export file created by the organization.
- The system will automatically generate an email to all selected raters requesting that they log on to the appropriate web site, enter their password (as supplied in the email to them), follow the on-line instructions and answer the questionnaires that have been assigned to them.
- If people take longer than the required time (7 to 14 days) to respond to the questionnaire, they will be sent an email reminder automatically.
- Once the minimum number of responses have been collected, the results can be viewed on-line or printed out by pre-approved persons. On-line instructions are provided.
