This assessment focuses on the manager as “change driver”.  The questionnaire identifies 7 key competencies in behavioral terms that are linked to leader success in implementing and managing change. Rather than another complicated flowchart of the change management process, this tool gives managers a simple diagnosis of the actions/practices they need to do more of-- in order to influence their work groups to be more readily adaptive.
