Preparing For Promotion: A Guide for Public Safety Assessment Centers


Just $39.95
includes normal shipping/handling


KSA Ltd. is pleased to also have the book offered through:

 

 

KSA Ltd. recommends you READ ANY article, book or information on Assessment Centers, whether it's ours or another book.

The more you know about the process and what to expect, the more likely you are to be more prepared for the job!

If you don't have the skill sets to do the job, the temperament, leadership skills, organizational skills, supervisory skills, and so on, you're simply not ready to take on that new role yet!

Better to wait and build up your strengths first! Are you attending supervisory or management courses? Working on your degree?

Practicing your supervisory, organizational or administrative skills? 

You cannot read any book and simply expect to "dazzle" assessors.

They will see your "real" readiness levels, so don't assume you can merely "wing it!" and succeed!


by Rick Michelson & Pat Maher

This book is full of helpful topics to get you focused before you take that next promotional exam, including assessment centers or related performance based scenarios. It also has a chapter just on Interview Panels, with many sample scenarios for practice!

Each component of the Assessment Center process is covered in detail, along with a list of behavioral dimensions that the candidate who is ready for the job, should be able to demonstrate. Note that while the book and our materials are geared to help you get ready for any type of assessment process, the core of our program and the text, is to help you get ready for the job itself. If you have done all you can by strengthening your skills to become a strong supervisor, you still have to consider the political and even personal issues that undoubtedly will surface. Keep in mind building relationships is a critical component of any good supervisor or manager.

The text and workshops, include content, strategies and methodology used in many of the core exercises used in Assessment Centers including:

  • Assessment Centers; History, development and validity

  • Subordinate Counseling Role Play
  • Personnel scenarios

  • In-Basket
  • Oral Presentation
  • Leaderless Groups

  • Meeting Management

  • Ethical dilemmas
  • Situational Judgment Tests
  • Written projects
  • Community presentation

The book (and courses) also cover non-assessment center methods, such as:

  • Oral Panel Interviews

  •  Personnel Scenarios

  • Tactical / Operational Scenarios

  • Accomplishment Survey

2007 Book of the Year

Using poker as analogy for leadership, Captain Andrew Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write a definitive book for leaders. Working together, Harvey and Foster have written Leadership: Texas Hold em Style. Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, You are dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success.
