Menu of Indicators on Management and Leadership Capacity Development
Purpose:
The purpose of the Menu of Indicators is to serve as a reference tool to guide the selection of indicators in the areas of management and leadership capacity development.
Description:
The Menu of Indicators is organized into four sections:
- Indicators of Organizational Management Capacity–The indicators in this section focus on several management systems as defined by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) as essential systems for effective organizational performance. These management systems include planning, human resource management, management information system, quality assurance, financial and resource management, logistics, and monitoring and evaluation. The indicators in this section cover both the immediate outcome of a given intervention and its use.
- Indicators of Work Group and Organizational Leadership Capacity–The indicators in this section cover both immediate and intermediate results of leadership capacity development at the work group and organizational level. At the work group level, the indicators are designed as a simple self-assessment tool that a team can apply periodically to monitor its use of the leading practices which include scan, focus, align and mobilize, and inspire. At the organizational level, the indicators measure the extent to which an organization routinely address and supports ongoing leadership capacity building.
- Indicators of Organizational Sustainability–The indicators in this section measure beyond organizational and work group capacity at the operational level to organizational performance in the face of change.
- Program Specific Indicators–This section provides indicators for specific programs offered by the Leadership, Management and Sustainability (LMS) Program or MSH such as the various virtual projects and networks.
