Simulations and associated assessment procedures were developed to assess three levels of military personnel on 11 leadership dimensions. Materials and procedures were also developed for training staff personnel to conduct the simulations and employ the assessment instruments. The report describes the developmental process and the materials that resulted. Organizational simulations appear to contribute an aspect to assessment center programs that is not obtainable through other techniques. (Author).

X-Teams

Pages : 273
Book Description
Why do good teams fail? Very often, argue Deborah Ancona and Henrik Bresman, it is because they are looking inward instead of outward. Based on years of research examining teams across many industries, Ancona and Bresman show that traditional team models are falling short, and that what’s needed--and what works--is a new brand of team that emphasizes external outreach to stakeholders, extensive ties, expandable tiers, and flexible membership. The authors highlight that X-teams not only are able to adapt in ways that traditional teams aren’t, but that they actually improve an organization’s ability to produce creative ideas and execute them—increasing the entrepreneurial and innovative capacity within the firm. What’s more, the new environment demands what the authors call “distributed leadership,” and the book highlights how X-teams powerfully embody this idea.

Pages : 257
Book Description
Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published the groundbreaking Flow more than a decade ago, world leaders such as Tony Blair and former President Clinton, and influential sports figures like Super Bowl champion coach Jimmy Johnson have all been inspired by the book. In today's corporate upheaval, a new business paradigm is evolving. While many CEOs are being exposed for their greed, truly visionary leaders believe in a goal that benefits themselves as well as others. They realize that it is their vision and "soul" that attract loyal employees willing to go above and beyond the call of corporate duty. And their employees are realizing the same thing: while 80 percent of adults claim they'd work even if they didn't have to, the majority of them can hardly wait to leave their jobs and get home. Good Business starts with the premise that this is an age in which business and work have replaced religion and politics as central forces in contemporary life. The book reveals how business leaders, managers, and even employees can find their "flow" and contribute not only to their own happiness, but also to a just and evolving society. It identifies the factors crucial to the operation of a good business: trust, the commitment to fostering the personal growth of employees, and the dedication to creating a product that helps mankind. Good Business is sure to become a must-read text for anyone who values the positive contributions of individuals in the changing world of business.
Simulations for Assessment, Training and Development

Book Description
There are four simulations in this collection, designed to provide a wide choice of settings for your training or assessment activities:The Dubchinzaneth Building ProjectYour participants are briefed to imagine they work as part of the management group of a charity, tasked with providing help following a major international disaster. Which of the reconstruction projects will they choose? How will they plan the construction? What unexpected problems will they face as the project goes live and how will the team tackle them?The Nasmullin Product Development ProjectNasmullin Enterprises is an established multinational manufacturer of food, toys and clothing. As members of the management team, your participants are tasked with championing a new product development project. Which project will the team pick and how will they plan and manage the development of the product overseas in the face of threats to financial stability, sabotage and legal action?The Valleys Local Authorities MergerYour participants are asked to imagine that they are managers in a Local Authority. They need to select a project team to make the merger with their neighbouring authority run successfully. How will they convince their colleagues of their choices for the team and how then will they plan and run the merger, collectively, in the face of human, not to mention external problems that they could never have foreseen in their planning?The Brabent Hospital Trusts MergerParticipants are faced with a Government decision to merge their Hospital Trust with a neighbouring Trust. Their job is to choose a merger project team and convince their colleagues of their choices. Then, working together, they need to plan the merger and as the plan unfolds, tackle the problems as they arise, some human, some technical and some so unexpected that there's no way they can have anticipated them.Part One of the manual includes a complete set of guidance materials for running the simulations for an assessment or a development centre. There's everything you need to administer the simulations, brief the assessors and the candidates. And you can choose whether to run a linked sequence of activities or to mix and match across the four settings.Part Two includes guidance materials for using the simulations to train and develop the members of a team, or alternatively, team leaders and managers. Use them before, during or after the training, to identify needs, check learning, or let them practice applying the lessons.Part Three contains copies of all materials for running the simulations, for participants, centre managers and trainers. Copies of all these materials are also available on the accompanying CD ROM in two versions: one carrying the coding system for ease of administration when you run a centre; the other version without codes so you can use them as training handouts in whatever way you choose.Choose a simulation with a storyline that is familiar to the participants, if you want to keep your training or assessing close to home. On the other hand, choose a simulation with a context outside the participants' experience if you want them to demonstrate potential rather than simply following custom or mimicking (possibly bad) practice.Whichever option you choose, the complexity of these simulations makes them a perfect way to assess and/or develop a wide range of core skills, including planning, communication, decision-making, teamworking, leadership and, importantly, all of the nuances associated with them. And you can decide your own list of factors to assess against or use those provided in the pack, for managers or for professionals.

Book Description
This book provides a concise source of information on effective and practical methods for constructing simulation exercises for the assessment of psychological characteristics relevant to effectiveness in work organizations. Simulation exercises present the examinee with descriptions of complex situations that stimulate aspects of real-world settings and problems. Examinees are required to demonstrate overt behavior in handling the problems presented. The process and/or products of this behavior are observed by trained assessors who observe behavior, classify behaviors into relevant dimensions, and evaluate effectiveness. Simulations can provide assessments of abilities, skills, and competencies not readily measured by other testing techniques. Developing Organizational Simulations provides practical guidance for defining the attributes to be assessed, constructing the stimulus material, and designing methods for administration and scoring. Several different situational exercises are presented, including business games, leaderless group discussions, in-baskets, one-on-one interaction simulations, and case studies/presentations. Steps to ensure the reliability, validity, and legal defensibility of assessments from simulations are described. In addition, the book presents the use of simulation exercises for the purposes of personnel selection, training, development, and certification. Professional standards and guidelines relevant to the construction of simulation exercises are also covered.
