RateYourBoss is a service that will allow an employee to measure the effectiveness of their immediate manager or a manager to ... assess themselves in running a team. This uses scientific principles to compare best practice to current practice and help to identify areas for improvement. The aim is to lift the standard of management practice in any organisation. We are a volunteer-run not-for-profit organisation. Our members are driven to contribute their time and energies through having seen the best and the worst of organisations over our careers. Some managers are simply inspiring to work for. They take the contributions of their teams to the next level. Everything just “works” and their teams are the shining light of their organisations. Conversely, we have seen many managers, through their own ignorance but also through the lack of proper managerial development systems, destroy the spirit of those in their teams. This is a tragedy and comes at an immense cost: for the employee, for their families, for the organisation in which they work, and for the economy as a whole. The RateYourBoss low-cost assessment tool focuses sharply on key scientifically-proven attributes good managers should exhibit in their behaviour. Where there are shortfalls, the manager needs to understand the area of behaviour required and work to imbed these behaviours in their work methods. Clear accountability is ensured through a management chain-of-command that is cascaded throughout the organisation. At last employees understand what is expected of them through crisp task assignment, backed by a documented job description. read more
