Books & Booklets
Creativity Toolkit
Larry L. Barker, Ph.D.
Kittie W. Watson, Ph.D.
 Performing effectively in new organizational environments
requires innovative ways of approaching work tasks. Problem solving strategies and tactics that have worked in the past may not be as effective as they once were, and many of today's
challenges and opportunities require new ways of exploring options. This toolkit offers several options for thinking in new ways and for generating new ideas.
Designed to provide teams with options to enhance creativity when generating new ideas and tackling problem-solving tasks, tools are grouped into three sections:
idea clarification, idea generation, and idea screening.
Because particular tools are designed for specific tasks, the tools in this kit work best when adapted to individual situations and participants, and some may work better for
your team than others. Use individually or structure for use within work teams. Use a combination to help your team achieve its goals.

Coaching Practices Inventory (CPI)
Debra L. Jacobs
|
|
One of the most desirable leadership competencies is that of coach.
Through the use of the CPI, supervisors, managers, or team leaders can be assessed as coaches. Direct report employees and
the individual being assessed respond to statements about coaching behavior. The CPI produces detailed individual feedback reports that identify coaching strengths, developmental opportunities, and a
complete analysis of both quantitative and qualitative input.
A Coaching Practices journal is also available to guide recipients in the development of their coaching skills.
