Schein’s Qualitative Model of Organizational Culture

Considerations for Cross-State and Cross-National Consultation using the
Internet
Stewart
E. Cooper, PhD
John
P. Fennig, PhD
Rodney
L. Lowman, PhD
The new
APA ethics code has greatly expanded coverage of psychologically-based
consulting to and through organizations.
However, the new code is almost completely silent about consulting
across State or National boundaries, especially when using technology such as
the Internet to do so. Many
psychologists who consult are interested in developing uses of emerging
technology to do such work and want to do so ethically. The purpose of this symposium is to address
the above need by sharing relevant APA and ACA ethical information, providing Internet
consulting practice examples and facilitating a discussion.

women leaders.
August 20, Saturday, 8am Coaching the Perfectionistic
Leader- Workshop
Ronald
J. Burke, PhD
Gordon
L. Flett, PhD
We discuss
how to recognize, assess, and coach perfectionistic leaders. First, the results
of a recent study investigating the nature and outcomes of perfectionism among
leaders are described. The study demonstrates significant deleterious effects
not only for the individual's psychological health (e.g. stress, job
satisfaction), but also on outcome measures related to performance, job tenure,
and career success. Assessment tools
and coaching methods are identified, with case studies used as examples of
presenting problems associated with perfectionism and successful intervention
outcomes.

development of EQ skills among organizational leaders, (5) describe results of
this program for clients, and (6) discuss the potential impact of this program
on organizational culture and the consultant's book of business.

Leadership
Competency Modeling in Asia
Samuel M Lam, MA
Randall P White, PhD
Wei Chen, PhD
In the
past three years, the authors have been involved in development of several
large competency models in Asia for global organizations and Asian
clients. Two large competency models
have been developed out of research with 60 CEOs in Asia. The results of the competency model were
used for leadership development interventions and executive selection.
Particular of interest is one model is used to drive a national agenda to bring
the country to a developed nation status. The key features of this model will
be used as a key driver for both national and regional business agenda.
August 20, Saturday, 1pm Leadership Trends in
Gillette- Symposium
Nancy M. Picard, PhD
Thomas Webber, MBA
Exploring trends across three diverse populations of
Gillette Company executives from 2001-2004 as the company undertook a major
strategic, financial and leadership turnaround. This comparison is based on 360-survey analysis and other
criterion measures as well as qualitative input. As a result, of this process, The Gillette Company, in conjunction with RHR
International, developed and evolved their customized leadership assessment and
development process that robustly differentiates among different types of
leaders, allowing Gillette to best target and therefore invest their
development resources, and thus yield benefits for top leadership, those they
manage, and substantial positive outcomes for the Human Resources function as well.
August 20, Saturday, 3pm Invited APA Fellow Address:
Values, Ethics, and Politics. Dilemmas
for the Consulting Psychologist
Paul J.
Lloyd, PhD (Chair)
Ann M. O'Roark, PhD (Chair)
Kenneth
H. Bradt, PhD (Speaker)
Codes of
ethics are most helpful when they are specific and unambiguous. Our APA code is
very clear about some of the thou-shalt-nots, as in sex with clients/patients,
and it is also quite straight forward about conflict of interest issues, e.g.,
the dual relationship pitfalls. But codes are less helpful addressing questions
of how one should react when personal values clash with perceived values of the
individual or organizational client.
The speaker will address these issues based on his 50+ years experience
as a clinician, professor, research psychologist for the US Army, Director of
leadership training for business and industry and the Chief psychologist for
the CIA.
August 20, Saturday, 5pm Member Meeting and Social Hour
August 21, Sunday, 9am Five
Propositions to Explain Group and Intergroup Dynamics
Clayton P.
Alderfer, PhD
The presentation will explain five
propositions designed to define, understand, explain, and predict group and
intergroup relations wherever these phenomena are encountered. The propositions
represent the latest version of embedded intergroup relations theory, a project
whose development and periodic revision has extended across the career of the
author. Drawing on anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science and
management (all disciplines that address intergroup relations), the theory has
a strong empirical basis.

August
19, Friday, 5pm Reversal
Theory as a Tool for Consulting Psychologists
The
purpose of this symposium is to introduce and discuss a psychological theory
that has received increased attention among practioners: Reversal Theory. Reversal theory provides a framework for
attempting to understand the ever-changing and complex world of clients and
their problems, and allow meaningful decisions to be made about the form that
interventions should take when help is needed. This structure is based on the
idea that motivations come in opposites, so that it is only possible to pursue
one of these, from each pair, fully at a given moment.

ways of preventing and /or ameliorating such problems and ways of developing a
relationship between the providers and the acquirers that will lead to a
cooperative as opposed to an adversarial relationship. From their discussion
the panel will develop a new model or paradigm for developing a positive and
productive relationship between provider and acquirer.

Leadership Competencies: A Multi-Rater Validation Study. RHR Dissertation Award

Today’s
police leaders must possess an extraordinary range of skills and competencies
in today’s complex environment. This paper (a) examined the psychometric

investigated the criterion validity of the 360° tool. The 360° instrument was
highly reliable and reasonably valid.
