SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Enterprising Potential (E.P.)
In leadership environments, his/her strength on the E.P. Scale would indicate very strong potential for demonstrating personal initiative and proactivity. He/She should have a natural inclination towards being an effective self-manager. Given coaching to enhance planning and time management skills, he/she should be able to make a routine of the daily effort required to meet competing priorities and drive organizational initiatives.

Achievement Potential (A.P.)
The A.P. Scale result is of great importance, second only to the results obtained by the candidate on the E.P. Scale. This is a very strong score and suggests that he/she needs and thrives on challenge and will push hard for results. He/She will be so eager to get into the work situation that he/she may not pay enough attention to learning how to do things the right way. He/She will probably respond best if his/her coaching is concise and of reasonably short duration.

Independence Potential (I.P.)
It appears that the I.P. Scale has its greatest usefulness in selection in distinguishing between the Above Average and the Superior potential individuals. With this extremely high level result on the I.P. Scale, this person will inevitably rebel against any tightly controlled work situation and should be comfortable in a leadership role. If you can give him/her lots of freedom of action once he/she demonstrates that he/she has earned it through performance, then he/she might stay with you. Control him/her too much or for too long and he/she will leave.

People Orientation (P.O.)
This is an acceptable result on the P.O. Scale. Generally a result like this has no bearing, either positive or negative, on selection recommendations.

Investigative Orientation (INV.)
This INV. Score is very low. If yours is a business which demands a lot of initial or ongoing technical learning, he/she will have difficulty finding satisfaction or perhaps even coping acceptably with this aspect of the job. Indeed, learning requirements and a requirement for attention to detail would potentially be a negative factor of the job.

Comfort with Conflict (CWC)
SAMPLE has the potential to be quite comfortable in situations where there is conflict such as an angry or upset coworker. His/Her comfort with conflict can be a strength in situations where conflict is a common occurrence or there is ongoing tension that may require his/her intervention. People with SAMPLE's level of comfort with conflict may even occasionally create conflict to further their own goals or to enhance performance.

Self-Directed (SD)
This result shows a better-than-average sense of self-confidence, and a belief that he/she is generally in control of much of his/her own life.

Lifestyle Management (LM)
With this high-average result, he/she indicates that whatever his/her current stress situation is, he/she is handling it well.

Uncertainty Coefficient (UC)
SAMPLE has an acceptable score on the UC scale indicating that he/she is not answering in a socially desirable manner. His/Her answers on the attitude scales tend to be reliable.

DEVELOPMENTAL SUGGESTIONS


Based on the Enterprising Potential (E.P.) Results

For a person showing such exceptionally strong self-management potential, the approach should be to build on those potential strengths by offering coaching to ensure the individual's existing self-managing behaviors are aligned with corporate strategy.


Based on the Achievement Potential (A.P.) Results

Maximize the strength of this individual by coaching on strategies to help him/her conduct business in an efficient manner. He/She would welcome a method to monitor his/her performance and to maximize the outcome of his/her commitment to striving for success. Emphasize the importance of managing relationships as a long-term business strategy.


Based on the Independence Potential (I.P.) Results

He/She will value coaching that seeks to obtain his/her commitment rather than compliance to the existing business systems. Associates must have the flexibility to feel comfortable with a strong-minded, independent leader. A well-focused and intensive learning experience that continues until he/she achieves a specific performance standard is recommended.


Based on the People Orientation (P.O.) Results

He/She will find satisfaction and productivity enhanced by working with a coach and colleagues who are similarly people oriented.


Based on the Investigative Orientation (INV.) Results

You will have to monitor him/her to ensure that he/she both learns and correctly employs any required technical knowledge.


Based on the Comfort with Conflict (CWC) Results

He/She can be effective in tense situations if he/she is coached to listen and address the concerns of others. SAMPLE may benefit from conflict resolution training.
