Assessing Leadership Competence at Different Levels of the Pipeline

If we argue according to levels of work theory/ stratified systems theory that leadership looks different at the different levels in the organisation, surely this must be true for talent assessment as well.

Currently it is my view that most assessors / psychologists use a standard approach for all leadership levels in the organisations. Surely it should be worthwhile to consider using an assessment approach that considers:
•Assessment solutions to be different at different levels of complexity;
•Instruments must be more complex on the higher levels of complexity.

Ken Wilber in A Theory of Everything: An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science and Spirituality said that "Today's business and world leaders are faced with unprecedented complexities and rates of change in markets and social conditions. This places extreme pressure on leaders to develop all aspects of themselves to the highest degree possible.

Development of their cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and ethical capacities, as well as their fundamental sense of self, and more, are all required. In my opinion, only those who develop to this level, who integrate fully to this level, will be successfully equipped to manage a profitable, sustainable growth business or effective organization”

Comment by Jahnavi Pat on June 18, 2010 at 7:20am: The Leadership Pipeline's practical advice has proven to be applicable to companies of all sizes, to be particularly helpful to women and minorities, and to be effective in cross-cultural settings. It gives managers and human resource professionals the framework, tools, and language they need to help leaders at every level reach their full potential. It also gives individuals a framework for managing their own development and planning their own careers.
