The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency

Overview:  The Managerial Assessment of Proficiency (MAP) is the premier assessment of managerial competence in the marketplace. MAP is a video driven, competency based assessment that provides participants an objective rating of proficiency in 12 fundamental managerial competencies and important information on 10 styles and values.  In 11 video episodes, Bill Taylor and his team of four supervisors exhibit a range of managerial competencies as they simulate what happens during a typical workweek.  Participants can see parallels from their own experience base as they evaluate the actions of Taylor and his coworkers.  MAP2 is a proven tool for pinpointing and charting managerial strengths and weaknesses as compared to norms developed from the 100,000 managers and supervisors who have taken MAP2.  With MAP2 you can objectively identify the area of greatest developmental need.  Targeted training workshops are available for each MAP2 competency with our Managing to Excel program.
