It has proven valuable to leaders in comparing members of their team in supporting growth, i.e. not in carrying out an objective evaluation of an individual in isolation (for which other tools are better suited.) You have to set your own standards under each heading. The next page describes how to do it. We suggest first scoring — to your own standards — one team member you know well and who you are confident can support the growth you need. Then move to scoring other members of your team. Don’t forget: Please complete pages 3 and 4, print them out and bring them to the workshop. Thanks. Source : “ The PAP Variables”, AT&T, and HR at Honeywell Inc. (After Bittel, L.R., Leadership: The Key To Management Success) Purpose: To provide each workshop attendee with the means to evaluate a their key team members in their ability to support 2005 growth.

One for subjective leadership qualities, the other for objective (measurable). Each page has a table like the one on the right and a list of attributes down the left. Click and type the initials of your 4 to 6 key team members you are assessing in the box at the top of each column. You’re on the right! Set your own scale, say 1 to 10 - try not to bunch people all at the upper end of the scale. Work down each column by clicking on the period at the top and scrolling down. Another option is to print out the assessment and hand write your responses.
