"PT. Toyota Astra Motor sebagai perusahaan "joint venture" antara PT. Astra International Tbk. (Indonesia) dan Toyota Motor Company (Jepang) menyadari bahwa keunggulan dalam pengelolaan sumber daya manusia yang merupakan "intelectual capital" dari perusahaan merupakan sumberdaya utama dalam menghadapi kompetisi global di abad 21 mendatang. Kemampuan secara dini memetakan kelebihan dan kekurangan dan seorang karyawan khususnya untuk calon level manajerial merupakan hal yang mutlak guna mendapatkan suatu pengembangan pribadi (individual development plan) yang lebih fokus dan sejalan dengan strategi perusahaan. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan suatu model pengukuran potensi karyawan yang teruji kehandalannya secara intemasional dan dapat dilakukan secara in-house di PT. Toyota Astra Motor. Penulis beruntung mendapatkan kesempatan mengikuti pelatihan menjadi Assessor dan Administrator untuk Toyota Group Executive Assessment Center dari Development Dimension International (DDI) Pittsburgh, sebuah organisasi konsultan sumber daya manusia yang ternama di Amerika yang telah membantu lebih dari 200 perusahaan yang terdaftar namanya dalam FORTUNE 500, dan pendirinya yaitu DR. William C Byham termasuk angkatan pertama yang mempelopori penggunaan Assessment Center untuk dunia bisnis , sehingga penulis dapat menghayati secara mendalam pengukuran potensi karyawan ini melalui pengamatan langsung. Tujuan penelitian adalah pertama untuk menemukan dimensi apa yang dibutuhkan oleh level manajerial PT. Toyota Astra Motor di masa mendatang dan kedua adalah menemukan bagaimana cara pengukuran potensi itu sendiri melalui metode yang dikenal dengan nama Assesment Center. Untuk tujuan pertama, populasi yang dijadikan lokus penelitian adalah para manajer PT. Toyota Astra Motor , dimana teknik pengumpulan data berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, wawancara dan focus group yang dilakukan kepada manajer dan Board of Director. Hasil penelitian adalah 13 dimensi dan 1 kecocokan motivasi yang apabila dimiliki seorang manajer diyakini mampu membuat manajer tersebut efektif dan efisien dalam pekerjaannya. Untuk tujuan kedua, lokus penelitian adalah sistem penyelenggaraan Assessment Center di PT. Toyota Astra Motor, yang berlangsung pada bulan Juni dan awal Juli 1999. Dalam penelitian yang dilakukan secara kualitatif ini, penulis melakukan pengamatan langsung dengan menjadi Assesor dan Administrator Assessment Center. Hasil penelitian adalah suatu model yang memberikan gambaran tahap demi tahap pelaksanaan Assessment Center yang menjadi dasar pengukuran potensi kandidat manajer di PT. Toyota Astra Motor. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di atas, penulis menyarankan perlunya dibuat suatu Return On Investment (ROl) terhadap proses ini dan disamping itu perlu dilatih lebih banyak Interviewer dan Assessor agar proses Assessment Center ini tetap langgeng walaupun ada Interviewer dan Assessor yang "turn over" karena lanjut usia ataupun pindah ke perusahaan lain."

"Are leaders born, or made? And what's the single most important quality a real leader should possess? Philosophers and management theorists have endlessly debated-and just as endlessly written about-these subjects for centuries. Finally, here's a book that cuts to the chase. In 68 of the most succinct, no-punches-pulled pages you'll ever read, acclaimed author-speaker-coach John Baldoni maintains that "leadership presence" is a form of communication that can be learned, and then provides the hows and the whys of learning it. He starts by defining what genuine leadership presence is, and discusses right and wrong ways to demonstrate leadership taken from real-life examples. Baldoni explains how to communicate your objectives in ways that encourage people to buy into the process-even if it includes tough subjects like layoffs, closures, and terminations. Along the way he adds some provocative comments on the importance of ethical actions in tough times as well as good-including why merely thinking good thoughts and voicing good intentions are never enough."

"Today?s leaders face many challenges in achieving their goals. Rapid changes in technology, a more diverse workforce, changes in government regulations, worldwide competition, and the growing complexity of things in general have increased our awareness of the need for more effective leaders. Developing leaders requires having an understanding of the knowledge and skills required for effective leaders. Leadership Skills for Managers, 4th edition, focuses on five leadership skill sets necessary to ensure individual and organization performance: providing direction, leading by example, enabling others, sharing power, and seeking a better way. In addition to the leadership skill sets, the book examines the attitudes and mindsets of effective leaders. In the final analysis, the evidence of leadership is in the performance of the people and the organizations that follow the leader. When they perform well, the leader is a success. When they don?t perform well, leadership changes are almost always forthcoming. This book provides the background, real-world examples, practical applications, and numerous exercises to help prepare aspiring leaders. The lessons learned in this course can be applied to any leadership level in an organization and in any type of organization. Readers will learn how to: * Make the change from manager to leader. * Provide direction. * Enable others to achieve and succeed. * Develop a vision and create alignment. * Grow and develop new leaders. * Appraise leadership performance. * Use Continuous Improvement.
