Relational Dynamics, Inc. Multidimensional Leadership Profile (MLP) Report

Description of Services:

BASIC MLP (no write-in comments): Our basic MLP presents others' ratings of you on sixteen scales and the sixty items that make up these scales. The report, which typically runs to over twelve pages, enables you to compare your perceptions of yourself with how others see you.

MLP WITH WRITE-IN COMMENTS: In addition to the ratings in the Basic MLP, this enhanced MLP report includes write-in comments from your raters. Such comments can prove enormously valuable, so we strongly recommend this cost-effective upgrade to the basic MLP.

MLP WITH WRITE-IN COMMENTS AND COACHING: In addition to an MLP report with both numerical ratings and write-in comments, this option affords you the opportunity to speak with a seasoned coach by telephone for up to one hour within three months of when your report is generated (see order form for details). This is what a manager at a Fortune 500 company recently wrote about this service:

My sincere thanks to Relational Dynamics for their MLP 360 process. This outstanding program has given me insight into how I am perceived by my peers, subordinates, and supervisors. It cuts swiftly and cleanly to authentic feedback that is specific to you; it provided me with the ingredients I needed to construct a strategy and concrete plan for closing the gaps between my perceptions and those of the individuals I work with. If you're looking for precision in building a deliberate and successful development plan for yourself and your career, RDI's program is right on the mark. Anyone serious about taking responsibility for their own leadership development, and who has the fortitude to face how others perceive them, will benefit enormously by completing it - from the assessments and analysis through to the personal coaching. If you are done with cookie-cutter career advice and want to be on the leading edge of your own development and career advancement, look no further. Nothing compares to what I learned in this program.

With little time or effort on your part, you can determine how others, on average, view you on sixteen powerful dimensions of behavior. It's of little value to know how they see you in areas that have nothing to do with effectiveness. The trick is to find out how they view you in those domains that make a difference, such as these:

* Fifty years of rigorous research has uncovered the "Big 5" - the most powerful determiners of performance: conceptual thinking; emotional resilience; motivation level; people orientation; and, assertive presence. The MLP addresses all five.

* Research has also pointed to the four cardinal types of leadership: general; informational; competitional; and, relational. The MLP tunes in to these also.

* And, of the hundreds of competencies that might be evaluated, the MLP zeros in on seven that frequently cause career advancement or derailment: delegation; decision making; project management; meeting facilitation; written communication; oral communication; and, listening skills.

No other "360 degree" or multi-level feedback comes close to this breadth of coverage. An MLP report contains hundreds of pieces of quantitative data. And, instead of sending people off to the library, there are detailed and actionable recommendations right in the report.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MLP

How Do I Launch My MLP? As soon as we receive your authorization, we will send you an e-mail message from Relational Dynamics containing a link and a unique access code. When you click on the link, you will arrive at a page on our server that describes, in detail, how to use the MLP. You will be invited to enter your name and access code, which will enable you to log in, and then to enter the names and e-mail addresses of persons you would like to rate you anonymously. Finally, you will have an opportunity to rate yourself on the same items that will be presented to your raters, which will allow you to compare your self-perceptions with the perceptions of others. The entire process takes less than fifteen minutes.

What Happens Next? When you enter the names and e-mail addresses of your raters, and rate yourself, our server sends out a request on your behalf to each of your raters, asking him or her to rate you and—if you elect this option—to provide write-in comments in response to the following questions: (1) What are you doing well?; (2) What could/should you do better?; and, (3) What two or three specific (behavioral) recommendations would the rater make to you in the interests of performance improvement?

Do My Raters Get Reminders? Yes. We've programmed the server to send out a gentle reminder to any rater who does not respond within three days. If, after a week, a rater still hasn't responded, it sends out a second reminder. A week later a third reminder goes out to any rater who has not logged on and rated you. If a rater does not respond after four requests, it usually means that, for whatever reason, he or she does not want to provide input.

Can I Monitor the Progress of My Raters? Yes. When you launch your MLP, the system will allow you to print out a list of those persons you've asked to rate you. You can also log back in at any time to see who has, and who has not, provided feedback.

Why Is the MLP Administered Online? When we moved a few years ago from paper-and-pencil methods to web-based data collection, a higher percentage of raters participated, their write-in comments were more detailed, and they tended to respond faster. All of which meant that we were able to generate better reports in less time—quality went up and cycle time went down.

How Is My MLP Report Delivered to Me? We send it to you, via first-class mail, at whatever address you indicate on this order form (see other side).

Will I Be Able to Discuss My Results with Someone at RDI? If you elect our "MLP with Comments and Coaching" option, we will provide you with up to one hour of coaching via telephone. This hour can be divided into two half-hour sessions if you wish, but it must be used within three months of when your MLP report is generated.

How Is My Coach Selected If I Choose the Coaching Option? We will do our best to pair you with a coach with whom you'll be eminently pleased. Our coaches are personable and seasoned professionals who know the world of business from the inside.

How Do I Get in Touch With My Coach? We will provide you with contact information when we send your MLP report.

What If I Don't Like My Coach? We're interested in developing a long-term relationship with you, one grounded in mutual trust. If, after conferring with your coach, you are not satisfied, we will do our best to assign you to another coach who will work with you during whatever coaching time you have remaining.

Can I Purchase Additional Coaching Time? Yes. We hope that you find the hour you spend on the phone with your coach to be highly rewarding, such that he or she becomes a trusted confidant—someone with whom you can discuss anything about work, from office politics to the formulation of a personal-professional development plan.

Does RDI Sell or Rent Its Customer Lists? Absolutely not! We treat all customer information as sacred and use it only for your benefit. The only "solicitations" you'll receive will be from us—and, then, only if you want them.

When Do I Remit Payment? We'll bill you and merely ask that you make remittance within ten days. As soon as we receive payment, we will mail your MLP report to the address you indicate. Some companies are willing to underwrite the costs of development efforts, so you might ask your supervisor if this is possible. We accept purchase orders from established companies.

How Many Raters Do I Need? To get numerical results at the Supervisor level, at least two "Supervisors" must rate you, so interpret the word supervisor liberally—enter the name of anyone, past or present, to whom you've been accountable, even if it's from another company or an outside organization. To get numerical results at the Peer or Subordinate levels, at least three persons must rate you, respectively, at each of these levels. Even if you have no subordinates, we recommend that you use all available slots—five for Supervisors, seven for Peers, and seven for Subordinates—since the more raters you have, the more information your MLP report will contain.

What About the Comments if Not Enough Raters Provide Feedback? If you use all 19 available slots for raters, it is highly likely that you will receive numerical feedback at all three levels—Supervisors, Peers, and Subordinates. Should fewer than two Supervisors, three Peers, or three Subordinates participate, and you elect either the "MLP with Comments" or "MLP with Comments and Coaching" option, you will still receive all comments entered by all raters.
