Podcasts about assessments

A series of market-related crises over the past two decades – financial, environmental, health, education, poverty – reinvigorated the debate about markets and social justice. Since then, counter-hegemonic movements all over the globe are attempting to redefine markets and the meaning of economic enterprise in people's daily lives. Assessments of market outcomes tend toward the polemical, with capitalists and socialists, globalization advocates and anti-globalization movements, those on the political right and those on the left, all facing off to argue the benefits or harms brought about by markets. Yet not enough attention has been paid to analyzing the conditions under which markets result in just outcomes.  Markets, Community and Just Infrastructures (Routledge, 2020) explores how culture, politics, and ideology help shape market incentives in an attempt to reclaim the language of economic rationality and the policymaking legitimacy that accompanies it. Through a variety of case studies – labor relations in the U.S. meatpacking industry, the globalization process in Juaìrez, Mexico, financial reform in Cuba, and an interfaith Ugandan coffee cooperative – this book provides a framework for understanding the conditions under which markets promote just or unjust outcomes (e.g., discrimination, income inequality, environmental degradation, or racial justice, human rights, and equitable growth).  This book touches on subject matter as varied as food, religion, banking, and race and gender equality, from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It offers an analysis of markets based on community rather than pure individualism that has the potential to change the way we think about economic rationality. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars in political science, economics, sociology, geography, gender studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, and all those interested in the critique of mainstream economics and neoliberal logic.

Kennst du das Gefühl, wenn du eigentlich genau weißt, was zu tun ist – und du tust es trotzdem nicht? In dieser Folge spreche ich über Selbstsabotage, die nicht durch Faulheit oder fehlende Motivation entsteht, sondern durch unbewusste Wertekonflikte. Du bekommst konkrete Beispiele aus dem Alltag, aus meiner Praxis – und aus meinem eigenen Leben. Ich zeige dir, wie scheinbar rationale Entscheidungen oft von inneren Werten blockiert werden – zum Beispiel von der Spannung zwischen Freiheit und Sicherheit oder zwischen Harmonie und Klarheit. Du erfährst, wie du diese Spannungen erkennen kannst – und wie du wieder zu stimmigen Entscheidungen findest. Es geht nicht um Disziplin, sondern um Einsicht in deine eigene innere Logik. Und um den Mut, dir wirklich in den Spiegel zu schauen.Linkedin Profil Dr. Ulrich Vogel: https://de.linkedin.com/in/ulrich-vogel-profilingvaluesprofilingvalues Website: https://www.profilingvalues.comAutorenseite Dr. Uli Vogel: https://uli-vogel.com/Linkedin Profil profilingvalues: https://de.linkedin.com/company/profiling-values?trk=public_profile_topcard-current-companyprofilingvalues Blog: https://profilingvalues.com/ueber-uns/pv-blog/Keywords: Selbstsabotage, Wertespannung, unbewusste Entscheidungen, Veränderung, persönliche Entwicklung, Klarheit, innere Konflikte, Wertearbeit, Selbstreflexion, Handlungsblockaden

From pinpointing greenhouse gas (GHG) hot spots to modeling decarbonization scenarios, life cycle assessments (LCAs) can be a powerful tool for sustainability. However, a lack of standardized methodologies across the automotive industry makes progress difficult.   That's where the SAE J3341 Task Force comes in. It's a cross-industry initiative uniting automakers, government, and academia to establish a more flexible yet transparent framework on carbon footprint reporting methodologies for passenger vehicles through smarter LCAs.   To learn more, we sat down with Laurel Nelson, Chair of the SAE J3341 Task Force and Staff Engineer of Sustainability Science at Rivian Automotive. She discusses how the task force is implementing a “disclosure addendum” approach that encourages OEMs to clearly communicate their assumptions and data for more accurate and meaningful carbon reporting.   If you are interested in taking part in the SAE J3341 Task Force, please reach out to Laurel directly at laurelnelson@rivian.com  or Dante Rahdar at dante.rahdar@sae.org.   We'd love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.

aWhat happens when your best employees become your worst managers? Across corporate America, we're facing what experts call the "Accidental Manager Crisis." A staggering 60-80% of new managers receive ZERO formal leadership training before being thrown into people management roles.The result? Burned-out managers, disengaged teams, and cultures quietly crumbling from the inside. Your top performer just got promoted—but technical excellence doesn't equal leadership ability. Without the right training, support, and mindset shift, you're setting them up to fail.This isn't just an HR problem. It's a business crisis that costs organizations millions in turnover, lost productivity, and damaged culture.

Send us a textWhat if the 360 feedback you're receiving is more a reflection of human cognitive shortcuts than your actual performance? In this illuminating conversation, Dr. Amanda Potter—recently named Association of Business Psychologists Practitioner of the Year 2024—takes us behind the scenes of 360 assessments to reveal the hidden biases that distort results and undermine effectiveness.Our brains evolved to make quick judgements for survival, but these same mechanisms now create significant distortions in how we perceive and rate others. From contrast effect (where we compare individuals against each other rather than objective standards) to recency bias (overemphasizing recent events) and the halo/horns effect (letting one trait color our entire perception), these mental shortcuts compromise the validity of feedback at every stage of the 360 process.Dr. Amanda Potter the Chief Psychology Officer breaks down exactly how bias infiltrates each phase, from design and administration to completion and feedback conversations, while offering practical, science-backed strategies to minimize its impact. Learn why rigid capability models fall short, how standardized communication prevents experience bias, why a seven-point rating scale creates more accurate results, and how to facilitate feedback conversations that explore context rather than make judgements about character.This episode delivers exceptional value for HR professionals implementing 360 programs, leaders receiving feedback, and anyone involved in developing talent. You'll discover why psychological safety forms the foundation of honest feedback, how to ensure anonymity without sacrificing insight, and the critical balance between quantitative ratings and qualitative perspectives that creates truly developmental experiences.Whether you're designing a new 360 program or participating in one, this conversation will transform how you understand, administer, and interpret multi-source feedback.

Erin Stern, BCBA, Founder and President of STEPS Behavioral Health, shares how her clinic takes an integrative approach by combining ABA, Speech, OT, and PT to support early learners. With a strong focus on flexibility and tailoring every goal to the individual, Erin highlights the importance of thoughtful intake and assessment, working closely with families, preparing children for school, and weaving in everyday experiences and milestones.Erin discusses the clinic's Early Steps Program, which supports newly diagnosed learners through Kindergarten and beyond. With no “hard lines,” the focus is always on finding the right placement, environment, and balance of clinic- and home-based services. Erin explains how determining intervention hours involves multiple factors—age, behaviors, skill needs, family dynamics, and insurance—while maintaining flexibility to meet each learner's individual needs.Our conversation also highlights the value of providers immersing themselves in a learner's AAC system, staying committed to professional growth, and never forgetting the power of play. As Erin reminds us, “Don't forget to play,” because natural learning and connection thrive in those moments.#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:STEPS Behavioral Health and the Early Steps Program.Tailoring early intervention to individual learner needs.Important factors to consider when determining intervention hours.Why play is one of the most important factors of a learner's success.Mentioned In This Episode:Stepsbh.comJoin the aba speech connection  ABA Speech: Home

DISC assessments are powerful tools for understanding human behavior—but only when they're used correctly. Too often, I see people misuse DISC by labeling others, stereotyping roles, or treating it as a final verdict instead of a helpful indicator. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I'll share: ✅ Why DISC is a model of behavior, not a definition of people ✅ How DISC shows natural tendencies—not skills or limitations ✅ The danger of labeling people by “just a few letters” ✅ How you can use DISC assessments responsibly and effectively I believe in the power of DISC—my team and I even offer our own DISC assessment tools. But like any tool, they can do more harm than good if they're misapplied.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Dr. Reece Akhtar, CEO and founder of Deeper Signals — a leading organizational psychologist and data scientist helping companies unlock human potential through AI-powered talent insights. Together, they explore how the future of leadership is being shaped by behavioral science, soft skills, and the rise of AI in the workplace.Dr. Akhtar breaks down what defines high-caliber leaders today, emphasizing the evergreen traits of cognitive aptitude, emotional intelligence, curiosity, and execution. He shares powerful stories about helping a scaling company move from 200 to 1,000 employees while improving performance by 15–20% year-over-year by using data-driven assessments.Listeners will gain a practical blueprint for building talent-centric organizations, minimizing bias in hiring, and turning assessments into tools for onboarding, coaching, and long-term leadership development. This episode is packed with actionable advice for executives and founders who want to future-proof their organizations, hire and grow the right leaders, and create high-performing, cohesive teams in an AI-driven world.TakeawaysHigh-performing leaders share four traits: cognitive aptitude, emotional intelligence, curiosity, and the ability to execute.AI will amplify the need for collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity—not replace them.Psychometrics offer a data-driven way to reveal leadership potential beyond intuition.Assessments shouldn't just filter candidates; they should inform onboarding and ongoing coaching.Structured interviews combined with assessments dramatically improve hiring accuracy.Data can act as a guardrail against unconscious bias in leadership selection.Building a talent-centric organization requires aligning culture, leadership development, and performance metrics.Cognitive diversity within teams often outperforms a single "A-player" approach.Over-indexing on charismatic leaders can be dangerous—look for competence, not charm.The five-factor model (OCEAN) is the most scientifically valid framework for personality assessments.Leaders should pause before reacting—self-awareness and emotional regulation are key."Just pause and listen" is Akhtar's billboard advice for young leaders.Chapters00:00 Introduction: Why leadership needs data in the AI era01:35 What defines high-potential leaders today03:50 Evergreen traits: intelligence, EQ, curiosity, execution06:25 How psychometrics and AI reveal hidden potential09:05 Case study: Scaling from 200 to 1,000 employees with data-driven hiring13:10 Turning assessment data into onboarding and coaching tools17:00 The five-factor model (OCEAN) and its predictive power19:00 Limitations of assessments and human adaptability22:30 Combining interviews, references, and data for better hiring decisions27:50 Why resumes and unstructured interviews fall short29:50 Lessons from Dune: Avoiding the charismatic leader trap32:40 Using data to identify and mitigate bias in hiring36:15 Building a talent-centric organization and embedding values44:30 The importance of team fit and cognitive diversity47:15 Personal lessons: pausing before reacting as a leader48:30 Recommended reading: Social Physics by Sandy Pentland49:55 Closing advice: "Pause and listen" for young leaders51:00 Episode wrap-up and where to connect with Dr. AkhtarDr. Reece Akhtar's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/reeceakhtar/Dr. Reece Akhtar's Website:https://www.deepersignals.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Assessments are more than forms to complete or boxes to tick. They are the foundation for building programs that truly matter to our learners. In this conversation, we unpack how to move beyond surface-level evaluations and use assessments as powerful tools for understanding strengths, identifying gaps, and setting meaningful goals.Too often, assessments get mistaken for curriculum, leading to cookie-cutter programs that don't reflect the individual needs of the learner. We discuss how to avoid this trap by reframing assessments as a starting point, not the destination. You'll hear strategies for finding the right balance between thoroughness and efficiency, so learners don't lose months of programming while assessments drag on.We also talk about the importance of clinical judgment: why assessments belong in the hands of BCBAs and how to use results to shape goals that connect directly to the learner's real-world needs. If you've ever felt bogged down by assessment requirements or questioned how to make them more meaningful, this episode will help you approach them with clarity and confidence.What's Inside:Why assessments should guide programming, not become the programHow to balance thoroughness with timely implementationTips for choosing meaningful, functional goals that go beyond checklistsMentioned In This Episode:Measuring What Matters: Meaningful Outcomes with the MOTAS Assessment CEU EventHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

How do associations continue to provide value in the face of thriving social networks, AI,and challenges to traditional membership programs?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Larry Paska, Executive Director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages or ACTFL. Larry discusses:ACTFL as the “original social network” for world language educators.A field-wide focus on quality and proficiency: standards, teacher-prep guidance (via accreditation partnerships), and research that maps what languages are taught and where.Language proficiency assessments developed by ACTFL and administered via an exclusive licensee that drives important revenue for the association. The Language Connects Foundation's scholarships for teachers and students, micro-grants for research, and initiatives that raise the profile of language learning.How AI in language learning isn't a replacement for teachers, but a tool to support personalization and deepen learning.Dual-language immersion as a compelling model because it builds true proficiency and deepens cultural understanding.How ACTFL has maintained DEI as a strategic pillar because you can't have multilingual and multicultural without DEI.How employers need staff who can communicate across languages.References:ACTFL website
