Thursday, April 7th, 2016
With the completion of RightPath’s two-day workshop, Columbus State University became the first university in the nation certified to deliver RightPath® tools to external businesses. Through facilitators at the Leadership Institute at Columbus State University, the university’s consulting group, they are now able to use RightPath’s comprehensive array of solutions and online assessment tools for both individuals and teams.
“We are excited to partner with the Leadership Institute at Columbus State University to expand our service delivery,” said Jerry Mabe, RightPath® president and chief executive officer. “We currently have many Fortune 500 clients, including Aflac, Southern Company, TSYS, Coca-Cola, several NFL teams and many different non-profit organizations, but Columbus State University is the first university we have certified to teach our tools and curricula. We were especially pleased with the quality of the facilitators the Institute offers. ”
RightPath Solutions are designed for use with individual, team and leader development at all levels and stages. Applications include team development, leadership development, leadership coaching, high-potential development, selection, career development, inclusion/diversity, sales and customer service and succession planning.
These assessments reveal natural, “go-to” behavioral preferences as the starting point for understanding talents, leadership style, emotional intelligence, skills, passions and values.
“Investing in leadership and talent development has a direct, positive impact on a company’s bottom line,” said Shana D. Young, Leadership Institute at CSU director. “The return on investment for developing leaders and talent within a company shows up in areas such as increased productivity, employee retention, sustained growth and customer service.”
Columbus based corporate users of the RightPath tools added these comments:
“Of all the assessment tools we have evaluated over the years, RightPath is our preference. The assessments provide valuable insights and the flexibility of the tool set allows for a variety of applications across our workforce.”
Ryland Harrelson, TSYS, Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resource Officer
“Talent Management has used the RightPath tools extensively in our leadership development programs with great success. Nearly all our leaders have taken both the 360 assessment and the RightPath 4/6, and there is strong agreement that the tools provide valuable feedback that aids in development planning.”
Monica Ojendyk, TSYS, Group Executive, Global Talent Management
“For the past 10 years, we have used RightPath tools and appreciate their thoroughness and simplicity. For our organization, it provides leaders a common language, a set of desired leadership behaviors and feedback tools that easily assess learned leadership behaviors. It equips our leaders to have discussions about behaviors and pinpoint actions that have to change for long term success. RightPath is an integral part of our organization and three dimensional leadership culture.”
