1. Course Description In the current work environment, personal, interpersonal and organizational orientation is one significant factor for individual and organizational effectiveness. Such competencies are required at all levels in the organizations. Instruments are being increasingly used for development of these competences. A wide range of instruments for assessment and development of personal, interpersonal and organizational orientation, are available with special emphasis on role effectiveness, team effectiveness, leadership competences, and organizational diagnosis. However, to use instruments effectively, we view it essential to know a variety of instruments as well as to gain competence in selection, systematic administration, objective evaluation and accurate interpretation of the data generated by the instrument.
