The Klein Group Instrument® for Effective Leadership and Participation in Teams is unique in its ability to assess a range of behaviors that are essential for effective leadership and teamwork. Results are delivered through customized reports describing strengths, areas of challenge, and strategies for taking you and your team to new levels of excellence.
The KGI™ assessment is based on more than three decades of practice, research, and analysis. The research process utilized quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate individuals and teams grounded in real world success.
The KGI is the only assessment currently available that measures four essential dimensions of team and leadership skills with a single instrument.
What the KGI Focuses On
The KGI explores people's patterns of group behavior along four critical dimensions – Leadership, Negotiation Orientation, Task Focus, and Interpersonal Focus. A diamond-shaped model helps to illustrate the instrument's design.
Leadership measures the ability of a team member to guide the group towards meaningful collaboration and successful task completion.
Negotiation Orientation measures the ability of members to listen closely to one another and to construct mutually acceptable agreements.
Task Focus measures the ability of members to devise a sound strategy for the task and to carry out the plan fruitfully.
Interpersonal Focus measures the ability of members to develop a team spirit and to attend to the feeling issues in the group.
The four major scales are broken down into nine subscales that provide you and your team with action steps to boost your performance. Currently, this is the only assessment available that allows you to address these four fundamental areas with a single instrument.
You can take the KGI in two different ways:
As an individual you take the KGI Individual Administration independently when you want to learn about and improve your skills for working in small groups and teams. The assessment can be taken from either a specific or general perspective (read How to Take). Results from the individual administration are delivered in the form of a downloadable KGI™ Individual Profile.
As a member of a group or team you and other team members take the KGI Group Administration from either a specific or general perspective (read How to Take). In addition to receiving the confidential KGI™ Individual Profile, members receive a downloadable KGI™ Group Profile. It includes an overview of the team’s performance on all scales, recommendations for improvement, suggestions for developing and implementing an action plan, and more.
A KGI™ Group Administration is intended for use with teams having 3 to 10 members. Research on small group performance has shown that groups with five members tend to have the highest productivity.
Both individual and group administrations include a downloadable KGI™ User's Guide. The group facilitator has access to a downloadable KGI™ Manual, intended for use by all interested team members.
