Our analyses found that BUILD is a reliable and valid instrument to capture individual leadership competencies. Each BUILD competency and its subcomponents showed good internal consistency and strong measurement structure.

Consistent with research findings on self-other agreement, we found that leaders tend to give themselves lower leadership ratings than the ratings they receive from their raters. Furthermore, leaders’ self-awareness on each BUILD competency was found to be strong predictors of the criteria variables, such that leaders who are more self-aware consistently have higher effectiveness, satisfaction, and performance ratings than other who over-estimate themselves to a certain degree (results for severe under-estimators are inconclusive).

We didn’t find significant differences on BUILD competency scores among different industry groups. We will continue to collect data and monitor the overall leadership rating changes within different industries.

Introduct ion to BUILD The BUILD leadership assessment, developed and administered by the Fisher Leadership Initiative at The Ohio State University Max M. Fisher College of Business, is a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment that measures performance across 36 observable leadership skills.

BUILD is designed with a 360° framework. This means self-ratings are combined with feedback from raters invited by the individual to produce a dynamic personalized leadership report.

The BUILD report is designed to help individuals understand their leadership competence – both from their perspective and that of others. The data provided in individual reports is specific to each person.

The current report is created based on a sample of 226 leaders from 7 industries, with an average of 4 to 5 years of leadership experience.

Internal Consistency of BUILD

Internal consistency is the degree to which all items included in the measurement consistently measuring the same concept. Internal consistency is often measured with coefficient alpha, which ranges from .00, indicating no consistency among the items, to 1.00, which means that all items are measuring the exactly same concept (which also means some items may not be necessary because they are all the same). An alpha of .70 or higher is considered as good reliability.

Table 1 presented alphas for all BUILD competencies and the criteria variables used in the current study (leadership effectiveness, satisfaction with leader, and job performance). Most BUILD competencies showed great internal consistency among both the self-rated and rater-rated samples. The three pillars stewardship (αself = .94, αother = .98), relational skills (αself = .94, αother = .97), and self-leadership (αself = .94, αother = .97)1 all showed strong internal consistency. Similarly, all BUILD competencies within each pillar also showed high reliability (ranging from .72 to .88).

Structure of BUILD

Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied on the “other” data. A total of 907 raters’ ratings were used in the analyses. CFAs were ran separately for each BUILD competency (each with 2 sub-components) to ensure acceptable respondents to free parameter ratio (about 30 to 1); these large sample sizes can assure the stability of parameter estimates. Four fitness indexes were used to represent fit: root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), standardized root-mean-square-residual (SRMR), and goodness of fit index (GFI). RMSEA

1 Reliability coefficient is sensitive to the total number of items: the more items included in a measurement, the more likely the instrument will yield a higher reliability coefficient. The high reliability alpha for the three pillars can be the result of the large number of items reside in each pillar (60 items each).

and SRMR values that are less than .08 represent good fitting models. CFI and GFI values greater than .90 are considered good fitting models.

Overall, the results of the CFA analyses (Table 2) suggest that structure for each BUILD competency fits the data. These results coupled with the reliability estimates suggest that the measurement properties of BUILD are reasonably strong.

Cri terion-Related Val idi ty

Criteria-related validity assesses whether or not the BUILD constructs relate to work-related criteria. Three criteria variables were used: leadership effectiveness, satisfaction with leader, and leader performance. All criteria were collected from the leaders’ supervisor, subordinates, and peers.

All criteria variables have good reliability (leadership effectiveness: α = .89; Satisfaction: α = .88; Performance: α = .83; N = 905). Consistent with previous research, self-rated leadership behaviors were not related to all criteria variables (e.g., Bass & Yammarino, 1991)2, while the raters’ ratings of BUILD competencies were found to be strongly positively related to effectiveness, satisfaction and performance (Table 3).

We believe that some leadership activities are not easily observed by others. Therefore, it is also important for us to have a balanced view of a leaders’ key behaviors – specifically between how leaders view themselves and how they are assessed by others. We combined the self and raters’ ratings and examined the strength of the relationship between the combined competency scores and the criteria variables. As a result, all BUILD competencies are strongly related to leadership effectiveness, satisfaction with leader, and job performance. Criteria validity for different 2 Bass, B.M., & Yammarino, F.J. (1991). Congruence of self and others’ leadership ratings of naval officers for understanding successful performance. Applied Psychology: An International Review, 40, 437-454.

BUILD competencies from different sources (self, other, self-other combined) can all be found in Table 3.

Self-Other Rating Dif ferences

Table 4 showed the average self and other ratings for all BUILD competencies. The differences between self and other ratings are also compared using Cohen’s d. A Cohen’s d that is between .40 and .80 indicates a moderate amount of difference, where d less than .40 indicates very small difference. A Cohen’s d that is above .80 indicates large difference between the self-other ratings, which is the case for most BUILD competencies.

Overall, leaders tend to rate themselves lower on most competencies when compared to the average ratings they receive from their raters. Research shows that managers tend to rate themselves more modestly and accurately when in research-based settings (because they expect a validation of their ratings).3

Meanwhile, we examined how self-other agreement on BUILD competencies can affect a leader’s ratings on effectiveness, satisfaction, and performance. Research studies have provided strong support on the effect of a leader’s self-awareness, such that comparing to leaders who tend to overate themselves, self-aware leaders tend to receive higher leadership effectiveness ratings from others (results for leaders who underestimate themselves are inconclusive).4

We ran T-tests on effectiveness, satisfaction, and performance differences between self-aware and over estimator groups for each BUILD competency. Results showed that self-other agreement on most of the

BUILD competencies serve as strong predictors of leaders’ ratings on leadership effectiveness, satisfaction with the leader, and job performance, such that leaders’ who are more self-aware5 have higher ratings on the criteria variables when compared to those who overrated themselves on BUILD competencies (Table 5).

Norm Data

More data were added later on in order to provide an updated BUILD norm based on industries. A total of 524 leaders data were used to construct the norm table.

Table 6 showed descriptive statistics for different BUILD competencies for different industries. Seven industry groups were included in the analyses. These groups are: agriculture; manufacture; transportation and communication; trade and retail; finance and insurance and real estate; services (including education); and public administration. No significant competency score difference was found among different industries.

Conclusions

Results of psychometric analyses revealed that BUILD is an instrument with good internal consistency, good factor structure, and can predict a leader’s leadership effectiveness, raters’ satisfaction with the leader, and overall job performance. Further, as a 360 degree leadership measurement, self-other agreement on BUILD was also found to predict a leader’s leadership effectiveness, raters’ satisfaction with the leader, and their overall job performance.

The psychometric properties of BUILD is relatively strong, which suggests that BUILD is appropriate for serving as a 360 feedback giving tool during

the process of leadership development. However, the BUILD assessment was only designed for feedback seeking and individual development. Moreover, the nature of a 5 point Likert scale can be prone to cheating and faking if used for selection, where assessment takers will simply rate themselves higher on the items. Therefore, the Fisher Leadership Initiative team does not suggest using BUILD for selection, promotion, termination, or other high stakes decisions.
