Hiving Model: Assessing Management Skill Awareness

Resumen

Although assessment efforts for identifying and predicting management skill levels have been in vogue for over a decade, and the use of the results has been readily adapted to skill development use, there exists an unrecognized methodological schism between identification-prediction and development. The author has not found the generally assumed transition from skill identification methodology and the skill development methodology to be congruent. The author’s research has found the development of management skills over time (over one year), with use of an assessment program, requires some significant adaptations. It requires a different model which provides cognizance and rigor to the improvement effort. The assessment model described in their paper, the Hive, provides situational adaptation, a skill improvement tracking system and more effective results.
