Evaluation Process for
Assistant/Associate Directors
Background
The Libraries’ Pattern of Administration (POA) mandates a regular, rotating schedule of evaluations for each Assistant or Associate Director, at least once every four years, in addition to their regular annual supervisory evaluations. All Libraries faculty and staff should have an opportunity to participate in this process.
• Evaluate all of the ADs at one time, as a cohort, rather than on a rotating basis.
• Utilize a 360-degree feedback approach, with each administrator receiving an individualized report of results.
Process
360-degree feedback
• 360-degree feedback comes from an employee's immediate work circle: subordinates, peers, and supervisor, as well as a self-evaluation.
• It can also include feedback from external sources, such as interested stakeholders.

Formative
The overarching purpose of 360 feedback is formative: • To help plan a path for
improvement.
• To enhance leadership development.
Conger, J.A. and Benjamin, B. (1999). Building leaders: how successful companies develop the next generation. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
Cohort Model
Leadership development is “no longer focused on the individual learner but increasingly on shaping the worldviews and behaviors of cohorts of managers and even transforming entire organizations.”
Benefits
Learning is by nature social, and is most likely to occur when learners share ideas, enquire and problem solve together. A cohort approach to 360 performance evaluation and subsequent leadership development activities supports: • Enhanced connections between cohort
members. • Improved understanding and interpreting of
assessment results in context. • Increased motivation for improvement.
Process
This approach suggests a two-faceted process: • All faculty and staff will have an opportunity
for input by submitting a comments form.
• Smaller group of direct reports and co-workers will use a 360 survey tool, the Leadership Performance Inventory (LPI), which has been validated through extensive use.
Leadership Practices Inventory
The online Inventory has 30 items (behavioral statements) and can be completed in 10-15 minutes. The conceptual framework consists of The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®:
• Model the Way • Inspire a Shared Vision • Challenge the Process • Enable Others to Act • Encourage the Heart
Behavioral Statements: Examples • Is clear about his/her
philosophy of leadership • Supports the decisions that
people make on their own. • Finds ways to celebrate
accomplishments. • Experiments and takes risks,
even when there is a chance of failure.
Next Steps
Consultation/Deployment: • Executive Committee in April • Faculty Advisory Council in May • Libraries Faculty meetings in June • Staff Advisory Council in June • Libraries General meetings in June Expected launch: Late summer/early fall 2013
