360° Leadership Analytics Assessment for Chairs Report

Daly, Monroe

Chair, English at IDEA University
2014

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to address two important leadership questions:

  1. How effective am I perceived to be?
  2. What might I do to improve?

Overall Ratings

Your overall ratings of effectiveness regarding your leadership abilities are reflected in faculty responses to the following two summary judgment statements:

  • "I have confidence in the chair's ability to provide future leadership to the department"
  • "Overall, this chair has provided excellent leadership"

There are two critical pieces of information on this page.

  1. The response rate as determined by the number of respondents divided by the number of individuals who were asked to complete the survey.

    While the report yields important information even if there is a low number of respondents, as in a small department, there is greater confidence in the representativeness and reliability of the data when the response rate is high (exceeds 65% of those asked to respond) and at least 10 individuals respond to the survey.

  2. The percent of respondents who rated you positively (agreed or strongly agreed) on each of the two summary judgement statements.

    To delve deeper into these ratings and to obtain further insight on strengths to be retained as well as suggestions for further personal and professional development, proceed to the Responsibilities, Administrative Characteristics and Insights on Improvement sections.


Overall Ratings of Effectiveness

Your overall ratings of effectiveness regarding your leadership are reflected in faculty responses to the following two statements:

Response Rate is 80% (15 individuals asked, 12 responded)

  Agreed or Strongly Agreed Disagreed or Strongly Disagreed
I have confidence in the chair's ability to provide future leadership to the department 83% 0%
Overall, this chair has provided excellent leadership 50% 16%

Responsibilities

The table below describes responsibilities associated with the role of the department chair and you rated these low, moderate, or high priority.

Scale for targeted development based on percent of faculty who gave you a positive rating (“Good” or “Outstanding”)

Through our research 21 responsibilities have been identified that are relevant to the role of the Chair. You were given the opportunity to prioritize these responsibilities as they relate to your specific role and duties as Chair. Here you will find each of the responsibilities, the percent of faculty who gave you a positive rating (4 or 5), and the priority level that you assigned to each responsibility. If you did not assign a priority level to a responsibility, the report defaults to low priority.

Insights on Improvement

One approach to improvement is to focus your efforts on specific responsibilities that you identified as a high priority and in which you were rated less positively than you desired. To assist you, this section of the report is divided into three tables based on the priority ranking you assigned to each responsibility (high, moderate, and low). Beneath each responsibility, you will find personal characteristics and administrative methods our research shows are associated with high performance of that responsibility.

In the right-hand columns are 1) the percent (%) of faculty who gave you a rating of either "More Strength than a Weakness" or a "Definite Strength," and 2) the gap score, which is a comparison of your self-ratings with ratings by your faculty. To review the actual scores, simply hover your cursor over the gap score in the HTML report. An explanation of how to use the gap score to improve your performance is provided below.

We recommend using the following two-step process as you review the information in this section.

Step One: For each responsibility identified in table 4.1 (High Priority), review the overall rating for each responsibility as well as ratings of the supporting personal characteristics and administrative methods listed that are associated with high performance of that responsibility. Do your ratings for any of them fall below 70%? Are some of those administrative methods and personal characteristics listed with more than one responsibility?

Step Two: Identify all responsibilities, administrative methods, and personal characteristics where you rated yourself (self-rating) "higher" than the respondents. If faculty did not rate you as positively as you rated yourself, you may wish to discover why differences in perception exist. Similarly, if you did not rate yourself as high as your faculty rate you, you may wish to reflect on the reason for the gap.

Insights on Improvement

The responsibilities you identified as a high priority in your role as department chair are located in table 4.1 (4.2- moderate priority, 4.3- low priority).

Professional Development Recommendations

The faculty ratings for responsibilities identified as a priority (high or moderate) are used to determine which areas are targeted for improvement. We have factored each of the 21 responsibilities into four overarching categories. Click on the (?) above to view the detailed category breakout of responsibilities. The following guidelines will assist you in planning your development activities:

  • Red shading indicates areas for improvement; green indicates positive ratings.
  • Referencing the charts below, click on the category most in need of improvement to be directed to appropriate educational material and resources.
  • If no one area comes to the forefront, that is there are significant areas for improvement in multiple categories, explore resources in each of the categories and focus your attention on development materials that address specific areas that you identified as a priority (refer to Areas of Improvement section above).
  • If you scored positively in each of the four categories, congratulations on your success! As the role of the chair continues to evolve, you might consider exploring topics of interest or focus on your five lowest scoring responsibilities to continue your growth and development that are listed above.

Statistical Detail

The Statistical Detail section provides raw data that was used in the analysis of this report. It includes the number of responses for each response option as well the mean, standard deviation, and self-rating.

You will find additional details in this section that were not evident in the previous sections. One detail to note is the number of individuals who did not respond to an item (the number in the omit column). Although it is rare that more than a few survey respondents choose not to respond to an item, the percentages provided in earlier sections of this report are based on those who responded to each item. If a large number did not respond to an item, care needs to be taken in interpreting its results. Also, your first-hand experience with your department may provide insights from this detailed information that others may not see.

Finally, some of the most valuable information for you to review can be found in the separate Comments and Additional Questions Reports.
