New certification program trains Human Resource professionals

New certification program trains Human Resource professionals to use validated 360 feedback for leadership development

Old Saybrook, CT, Employers seek effective ways of developing competent leaders. In response to this critical need, Performance Programs, Inc. will offer three professional certification seminars for Human Resource professionals on the validated, competency-based 360 feedback instruments provided in the Clark Wilson Group’s Task Cycle Series.

The Task Cycle is a logical sequence of steps essential to directing the performance of tasks. It is a scientifically validated model of successful management and leadership practices, with well-researched mathematical foundations. The Clark Wilson Group broke new ground 30 years ago when it introduced the Survey of Management Practices. Today, the Task Cycle 360 Feedback Series is the longest established, best researched 360 feedback collection available.

The certification seminars are scheduled on April 14, July 14, and October 6, 2005, in Old Saybrook, CT. Participants learn to administer, interpret, and provide coaching to individuals based on results from the 15 titles in the series. Special emphasis is placed on the Survey of Leadership Practices and the Survey of Management Practices.

Participants will learn about the optimal uses of the instruments in leadership training and development. Each participant receives hands-on experience interpreting his or her own report. Dr. Paul M. Connolly will present the material. Connolly is a co-author, together with Dr. Clark Wilson, of several Task Cycle Surveys and has used these surveys with hundreds of organizations.

Investment in the one-day seminar is $800, including testing for the participant and a technical manual.
