    About this ebook

    The Center for Creative Leadership has found that successful managers acquire many core skills from their work assignments. Although, job assignments are a rich source of learning, some assignments provide more of a learning opportunity than others. Leaders will use their feedback from the JCP to assist them in learning from handling unfamiliar tasks, driving workplace transformation, seeking additional responsibilities, dealing with external pressure, managing group diversity-and much more! The Facilitator's Guide details the essential workshop procedures (including assessment setup, administration, and follow-up). You don't need to be a training professional to use this tool in your organization: this guide gives you all the basics. Your participants will be able to quickly score and interpret the assessment using the practical Participant Workbook. With the aid of this guide, they will determine what and how much they are learning, what parts of their jobs hold key challenges, and what strategies they might adopt to derive maximal learning from these experiences. Enable your employees to thrive on challenge! With the assistance of a world-renowned leadership authority, you will foster job satisfaction organization-wide.

      Introduction

      OUR RESEARCH AT THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE LEADERSHIP has shown that successful managers learn many of the skills and perspectives that contribute to their success from their job assignments. Yet job assignments are often underutilized as a developmental tool. When a manager sets a developmental goal (a skill he or she wants to expand or a weakness that needs to be overcome), job assignments are often overlooked as a strategy for reaching that goal. Even after receiving a new assignment, managers often do not focus on the learning potential of the assignment.

      The Job Challenge Profile (JCP) is a self-report questionnaire designed to help managers better understand and use their job assignments as opportunities for learning and growth. This facilitator’s guide is for human resource development specialists who choose to use the JCP in their efforts to use job assignments as a management developmental tool. The guide provides:

      •  An overview of the origins of the Job Challenge Profile;

      •  An understanding of the job component model on which the JCP is based;

      •  A review of how the questionnaire was developed and its psychometric properties;

      •  Guidelines for using the JCP in management development activities; and

      •  A bibliography and debrief presentation slides.

      Origins of the Job Challenge Profile

      THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE JOB CHALLENGE PROFILE grew out of a series of research projects on managerial learning, growth, and change that began in the early 1980s at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). Several of CCL’s client organizations had a similar concern: How to ensure that they had the managerial bench strength needed to fill key leadership positions in the future. A major research project was launched to better understand how the current top-level leaders in these client organizations had developed the skills and abilities that had led to their success. The assumption was that knowledge about the developmental paths of current effective leaders could be used to develop a new generation of effective leaders.

      The initial project included structured, in-depth interviews with seventy-nine successful executives in three Fortune 100 corporations. These executives reflected on the critical experiences in their careers and what they learned from the experiences. Specifically, each executive responded to the following probe: "When you think about your career as a manager, certain events or episodes probably
