Detecting Excess Too

Kaplan, R.E., & Kaiser, R.B. (2003, September). Detecting Excess Too: A Quantum Leap in Leadership Assessment. Presented at the 9th annual Leadership Development Conference hosted by Linkage Inc, San Diego, CA.

This presentation is a workshop-oriented introduction to an innovation in leadership models and assessment tools. It describes how modern approaches to assessment don’t capture overdoing—our linear rating scales assume that “more is better” even though many performance problems stem from “too much.” Further, modern assessments don’t reflect versatility as balance—because they don’t pick up when leaders do too much of one thing and too little of another. We present solutions for redressing these oversights along with data supporting their usefulness.
