A model of best practice: Leadership development programs in the nuclear industry.

Thatcher, Gregory W. 08 1900 (has links)
This study looked at leadership development at top performing nuclear plants in the United States. The examination of leadership development as actually practiced in the nuclear energy industry lead to the development of a best practice model. The nuclear industry is self-regulated through the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). INPO has been evaluating nuclear plants over the past 15 years. Recently they have identified supervisor performance as a key factor in poor plant performance. INPO created a model for leadership development called Growing Industry Leaders. The nuclear industry has identified its aging workforce and subsequent loss of leadership as an emerging issue facing the nuclear industry in the next five to ten years. This initiative was aimed at both the supervisor shortfalls identified through plant evaluations and the state of the workforce within the nuclear industry. This research evaluated the elements of this model and compared them to a model of best practice. This research answered the following questions: What elements of leadership development should be included in leadership development programs? What would a model of best practice in leadership development look like? Data was collected from nine out of 103 top performing plants. Development activities were categorized by a seven member panel of experts. These categories were then validated using three rounds of a Delphi process to reach consensus. This became the basis for the best practice model for leadership development.

The effects of training in feedback on managers' attributional bias and perceived effectiveness of their work groups

Lawrence, Harriet Vee 03 October 2007 (has links)
Problematic situations involving managers and employees can be dysfunctional in the work setting. Resolution of these problems often requires giving feedback that is specific, empathic, and in a spirit of inquiry. This research tested the effects of a learning intervention designed to intercept attributional bias and untested inference through training in feedback. An experimental field study was conducted in a large municipal government to address manager-subordinate feedback. Pre and post test measures were used to answer three research questions: What are the effects of training in feedback on managers' (1) perceived effectiveness of their work groups, (2) attributional bias of their Least Effective Subordinate, and (3) use of feedback skills with employees. / Ed.

The discourses associated with the frontline management initiative and their relationship to managing practice

Barratt-Pugh, Landis G. B. January 2004 (has links)
[Truncated abstract] This thesis is an analysis of a technology that is radically changing the location, process and position of manager learning, leveraging organisational learning agendas, and creating networks re-ordering institutional frameworks. The thesis examines the discourses, performances and productions associated with the Frontline Management Initiative (FMI) and provides a model of workplace-based management development. Academically, it provides new knowledge about the discourses constituting, enacting and producing manager development. Practically, it provides an understanding of the relations between workplace learning and outcomes that can inform practice. The FMI is a critical technology in terms of leveraging enterprise growth, due to its extensive national profile within the politically dominant societal structures of organisations, the critical interpreting role of frontline managers, and the innovative workplace-based, learner-centred framework. As the solitary Karpin (1995) report beacon, the FMI is positioned in highly contested terrain. Managing practice confronts the complexity of ordering knowledge work, where meaning and knowledge are more fluid and transient. Management development practice is more workplace located where knowing is more situated, distributed and relationally negotiated, but framed by politically endorsed competency-based frameworks. This study takes the unique opportunity to examine a learning technology that is being shaped by powerful mediating discourses. It examines how these multiple discourses construct FMI practice, what meanings of managing they develop and what effect these relational experiences have on subsequent managing practice.
