FYI: For Your Improvement - Competencies Development Guide, 6th Edition

After following people for some time, researches identified areas of competency that successful people developed - and career blockers that eventually limited people. Best part - they give you ideas on how to develop these competencies. Wonderful tool if you are in charge of your career. Also helpful if you manage others. You can help people with their development plans via this book. Pricey - but worth it in my experience. I purchased one for every leader in our company - so they can grow personally and help others to do the same.

Each chapter is meticulously organized, providing valuable descriptions of varying levels of competency usage. Additionally, the book offers insightful recommendations for developing these competencies through learning and engaging in practical assignments.

This is a great tool to help write goals and develop your team.

What a great book to dive deep into yours or others opportunities of personal growth. Use it or pass it along and share. Every leader should own a copy and use it for annual performance reviews and coaching sessions.

Just bought the 6th edition after having used the 4th and 5th editions. Quite a big revamp from prior edition. Not sure what I think yet. I've compared very closely and it appears that Korn Ferry decided to simplify the model thereby reducing the number of competencies and categories. They also collapsed them into broader categories that are probably more explainable than in the 5th edition. In looking at those they kept and those they didn't. I suggest that 5th Edition is a better tool for professional individual contributors and leaders from supervisor up through executive level. The 6th edition uses competencies (some similar) that are broader and would be better targeted at the executive level. The type size of the font larger in the 6th yet, the quality of the priinting makes it harder to read than the more crisp type on the previous edition. I'm torn. I actually like the descriptors better in the older 5th edition. It also seems like they don't provide any of the reading suggestions in the back of each competency section. I also prefer that in the former 5th edition there are more specific competencies that aren't addressed in the 6th edition that are very useful. I suppose an organization could use the 6th overall but as a leader, coach, and, mentor I really like the number of competencies available in the 5th edition. Maybe they can strike just the write balance in the 7th edition.

This book is full of extremely valuable training for managers and executives. Provides plenty of information on how to Improve competencies in every area to help you succeed and thrive.

Short on words while preparing performance reviews or pinpointing zreas of excellence or development? This is the best publication I've found. Developmental experiences are listed for consideration. Overuse of a particular strengths are also discussed as well.

While this book no longer seems to be published, and it is a bit expensive, it is totally worth it. I use this when helping my managers complete performance reviews and development plans. It is an amazing resource. It would be helpful if there was a one-stop resource like this online but the book is full of useful information.

This book is great! It really helps leaders understand and discuss competencies. When the book arrived, the text was a little blurry but I contacted the seller who rectified the situation ASAP. Great customer service!

This is a subpar quality for the same cost. Buy from korn ferry. Waste of money

The book looks brand new and no signs of use. Very happy with the purchase.

Se recibió en perfectas condiciones y su contenido es muy bueno. Todo bien en tiempo y forma

La calidad de la impresión es mala, pero lo importante es la información
