Tools for Assessing and Tracking Leadership Attributes and Competencies

Abstract

The Armys People Strategy (U.S. Department of the Army, 2019a) enhances Army readiness by maximizing the talents of every person. Assessment is a key piece of ensuring the talent management strategy, as accurate assessment is the first step to providing Soldiers with the feedback and experiences they need to continue to develop themselves and to do their jobs effectively. To aid the Army in this initiative, a mobile application and accompanying dashboard were developed to allow leaders to better assess and track their Soldiers over time. The foundation of the application is facilitating accurate assessment of Soldiers on the attributes and competencies contained within the Armys Leadership Requirements Model (U.S. Department of the Army, 2012; 2015; 2019b). This report describes the development of the tools, as well as evaluations conducted to determine the usability/utility of the tool and inter-rater agreement and reliability.
