Why is it important?
For the organizations at an operational level, such findings offers precise insights into the training needs. The idea of organizations systematically customizing individual development interventions to the current needs of competency requirements would probably yield far greater results than any vaguely designed plans on past experiences.
Perspectives
Results indicate incongruence in perceptions of managers for current expertise and importance across four managerial competencies, i.e., analytic skills, self-management, relationship management and goal and action management. Further, gap analysis and relative competence metric reveals negative gaps among managers for competency dimensions pertaining to quantitative ability, adaptability, influence co-workers, change management skills and planning and task execution. Furthermore, self-management competencies are found to wield maximum influence on the self-perceptions of job performance followed closely by relationship management and analytic skills.
