Leadership Excellence Survey™ Results
How Developing Leadership Saved a Plant
In a depressed economy a process manufacturing company couldn’t increase sales and losses were about to close one plant whose inability to reduce costs appeared to be linked to the plant manager’s leadership style. Using Nova’s Leadership Excellence Survey™, the plant manager modified his approach, encouraging his employees’ innovation and ability to implement change. Losses decreased by a factor of five-to-one, and the plant survived.
How Leadership Differences Re-Invented a Business
A global financial services company’s IT department was constraining development. Nova’s Information Technology Management Surveys were given to senior IT managers. The head of IT scored very high on innovation and strategic thinking but weak on team leadership. A new senior-level position was created to maximize his strengths for innovative vision and evaluation of new technologies while another senior leader became head of the IT department. IT is now a high-functioning department, and the former head loves his new job steering the direction of the company’s strategic use of IT. Business leaped forward with the rapid implementation of inventive IT solutions.
