The majority of American managers and supervisors work for firms with fewer than 100 employees - firms that lack the resources to offer management-development programs. This collection of self-assessment exercises was created to fill that gap and provide every manager and supervisor with professional-development materials designed for high performance.

Over 100,000 participants have successfully used these materials in Training House programs, but the secret to the long-term effectiveness of these materials is they are based on the belief that before you can build on your strengths, you must first identify what they are and how they relate to job effectiveness. Each self-assessment is accompanied by information explaining how the scores should be interpreted, thus giving you the information you need to set realistic goals for yourself and to then achieve them.

Training House believes that management begins and ends with measurement - measurement of needs, of goals and resources, and of timetables. And that you can't manage what you have not first assessed.
