Toward Quality Administration: Presidential Assessment at Northern Virginia Community College as a Means of Professional Development for the President.
Williams, Ruthann E.
An internal evaluative feedback system used at a large multi-campus community college for presidential assessment is described. The purpose of the system is to provide for administrative development of the president; it does not involve presidential retention or dismissal. All those reporting directly to the president, including campus provosts, anonymously rate the performance of the president in the areas of leadership, planning and internal management, decision making, institutional representation, personnel, and personal qualities through the use of a rating scale. The president prepares a self-assessment, including summaries of his expectations and goals at the time of appointment, assessment of progress in meeting them, an analysis of his administrative style, a profile of major issues facing the institution, and statements of current goals and strategies for meeting them in the next evaluation cycle. The president reviews the ratings and develops summaries of the data results; he responds, pinpointing areas where improvement or clarification of purpose is needed, commenting on his self-assessment and outlining a set of clear, personal objectives. The completed documentation is used as the basis for dialogue between the president and his management team. A flow chart of the process and an extensive bibliography is included in the paper. (BB)
