REDESIGN OF A TOOL TO MEASURE LEADERSHIP IN AN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Abstract

Leadership is one of the most critical factors that drive employees to achieve the goals in an organization, for this reason, it is important to measure it accurately and be able to develop and drive it for the benefit of employees and the organization. The automotive industry, in which the redesign will take place, currently has an annual evaluation of the leadership style of managers and coordinators. However, two main areas of opportunity have been detected. On one hand, the dimensions evaluated in the current tool are not related to the leadership model of the consortium. On the other hand, it is necessary to implement a process of monitoring the results obtained, which allows the leader to be held accountable and committed when the results are below expectations, in order to continuously improve the work climate. Therefore, through the methodology of Focus Groups is intended to compile the central perceptions of the areas of opportunity of the current tool, to make a proposal for the redesign of the instrument of Leadership Practices and be able to implement it at the automotive industry from 2019.
