Essential Tips for Auditing Manager Effectiveness February 24, 2011

Though most managers don't report to HR, it is HR's responsibility to ensure skilled managers exist throughout the organization -- thus driving company success. Simply assessing a manager through the results of her team poses a risk. You're only monitoring output, when in reality a team could be reaching its own goals yet failing to provide deliverables to other departments. So, how do you determine manager effectiveness?

HR personnel often suspect managers need help fostering team engagement and productivity, but don't have the tools to identify what the manager is lacking. Learn to systematically assess management skills and identify skill and performance gaps at the management level.

You'll leave with a practical checklist to assess the current state of management development in your company and take a leadership role in setting the bar for management excellence.
