CPP Introduces CPI 260™ Coaching Report For Leaders Advanced Guide For Interpretation

Guide Provides Insight for Effective Leadership Development

 
 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 12, 2006 – CPP, Inc., publisher of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment, announces the release of the CPI 260™ Coaching Report for Leaders Advanced Guide for Interpretation which provides in-depth insight into the Coaching Report for Leaders and its powerful features.  An essential reference source for all new and seasoned users of the CPI 260 instrument, the Advanced Guide for Interpretation includes information on the origins and architecture of the Coaching Report for Leaders and advanced interpretation strategies for the CPI 260 instrument.  

Featured on Good Morning America in May 2006, the CPI 260 instrument is an excellent tool for leadership development and as part of the hiring process. The assessment measures an individual’s strengths and opportunities for development. Using data drawn from the CPI 260™ Coaching Report for Leaders, CPP recently identified a leadership skills gap that exists between new managers and senior executives. Skills such as Use of Power and Authority, Managing Change, and Self-Control were shown to be development opportunities in new managers.

CPP’s Coaching Report for Leaders is a powerful, business-focused coaching and leadership development tool for today’s organizations.  Based on the time-tested and research-validated CPI™ (California Psychological Inventory™) instrument, the unique tool compares individuals to a database of more than 5,600 managers and executives from the Center for Creative Leadership® (CCL®).  By pinpointing leadership strengths and blind-spots, the report helps managers and executives increase self-awareness and improve their effectiveness as leaders.

The Advanced Guide for Interpretation was written by Sam Manoogian, author of the Coaching Report for Leaders and a noted executive coach affiliated with the Center for Creative Leadership® (CCL®).  “Several practical reasons drove the writing of this Guide,” said Manoogian.  “First, it is intended to address frequently asked questions, clarify areas of confusion, and dispel common misunderstandings.  Second, the grander purpose of the Guide is to describe the underlying architecture of the report and to explain and describe its unique though not always obvious features.”  

The CPI 260™ Advanced Guide for Interpretation is available from CPP, Inc., for $43.50. To order, or for more information, please visit www.cpp.com/cpi260
