Assessment Tools

CFCD uses a range of assessment tools and instruments to help identify development opportunities and deliver targeted solutions for our clients.

Leadership and Management Development

Strategic Leadership Development (SLD) is a process that identifies and develops the practices and behaviours each organisational member needs to exhibit in order to be successful. Each SLD component is based on the LEA leadership model. For more information, visit Management Resources Group.

Leadership Effectiveness Analysis™ (LEA) identifies leadership skills and behaviours in a 360 degree context. It measures 22 behavioural leadership practices grouped under 6 core functions:

  • Creating a vision
  • Developing followership
  • Implementing the vision
  • Following through
  • Achieving results
  • Team playing

CPI 260® (California Psychological Inventory)

The CPI 260® is a highly reliable multi-purpose questionnaire that objectively measures personality and behaviour, providing an accurate portrait of a person's professional and personal style.

The CPI 260® assesses a range of personality characteristics including:

  • Relationships with people
  • Thinking and problem-solving styles
  • Emotions, motivations, and drives
  • Team-working styles
  • Leadership styles
  • Selling and influencing styles

Feedback is available in two well organised, highly intuitive reports:
the Client Feedback Report and the Coaching Report for Leaders.

Team Development

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) instrument is a personality test widely used for understanding normal personality differences. Because it explains basic patterns in human functioning, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) instrument is used for a wide variety of purposes including the following:

  • Self-understanding and development
  • Career development
  • Organisation development
  • Team building
  • Management and leadership development

Emotional Intelligence

BarOn EQ-i®

The BarOn EQi®, a self-test created by Dr. Reuven Bar-On, is the first scientifically developed and validated measure of Emotional Intelligence.
It measures one's ability to deal with daily environmental pressures and demands.

EQ-i® scores the following areas of Social and Emotional Intelligence:

  • Intrapersonal: self-awareness and awareness of one's own emotions
  • Interpersonal: empathy toward others and understanding how people relate to one another
  • Adaptability: flexibility and openness to new ideas
  • Stress management: stress tolerance and impulse control
  • General mood: optimism and happiness

BarOn Emotional Quotient-360®

Based on the BarOn EQ-i®, EQ-360® assesses Emotional Intelligence (EQ) from a multi-rater perspective. A more complete 360 degree profile emerges in which external impressions of a person's EQ are combined with that person's self-rating.

EQ-360® identifies key employee strengths, impediments to high performance, and factors that could be improved or further developed.
The assessment process can also be used to follow-up where formal coaching is used as a developmental strategy in EQ 'skill enhancement' and where reassessment is used to measure progress.

EQ-360® works well in corporate environments where developing successful human interaction in leadership, teams, and the entire organisation is crucial.
