If you are doing a SWOT analysis for a company and its competitions, you could possibly find the leader in the industry.  \n\nI'm not sure what your question is...  \n\nUsually, a person possesses leadership skills, and a company could be the benchmark or gold standard in the industry.  I see SWOT as a marketing analysis, and leadership as HR or organization behavior issue.\n\nI hope this is somewhat helpful.  Check out the link, I found great answers in businessballs.com for all of my MBA projects.

I've never heard of that before. There is such a thing as 360 degree feedback. It is a performance review that incorporates the opinions of everyone you work with, not just the opinions of your boss.

If you are relocating.... if this is to accept a job offer, many people at the place you'll be working probably have kids themselves. Ask them what they think of their children's schools.\n\nFor general online data:\n\nMost rating systems are by school rather than by district or state, because it is the administration of the individual school that makes all the difference.\n\nAlso, keep in mind that online rating sites have skewed results... only people who seek out these sites will be providing feedback. Most people wanting to give feedback have negative responses.\n\nData these sites use that are not immediate, self-initiated parent feedback are generally a year or two out of date.\n\nTry these sites:\n\nhttp://www.greatschools.net/\n\nhttp://www.schoolmatch.com/\n\nhttp://www.homefair.com/sr_home.html

There should be a difference in you and your employees. There should be some advances that are a factor in you being a leader from experience or from extra programs that helps you stand out and branch you higher from them. The competition should know of what needs to be known from only you. With dedication in our position and an elite sense of confidence that will keep you from thinking any uncertainty in rising to the top, you can become anything you want. If every man was equal in business there would not be a successful society.

basically take two groups of people - one group who has used another erp system and another that has never used an automated erp system and ask them to rate the system on how easy it is for them to use. whichever system BOTH groups find it easiest to use should rank the highest since each group has their own inherent view of how it should work and you are likely to have to satisfy both constituencies.

There are currently no reliable ones because they all currently rely on self-selecting samples (something that makes the responses statistically biased)- typically, the raters are in bed with the businesses (a good example is InsiderPages.com, many thousands of ratings, almost all biased).  There are a couple industry specific ones that are decent though, but you'll probably have to pay for the info... like Angie's List (home related like contractors) and Zagat's Guide (which rates the service of restaurants pretty well).

management that works by trying to assess competencies and measure performance based on competency levels.\n\n(you thought i was going to say competent management is a contradiction in terms, didn't you?)

It's supposed to help give you benchmarks, so that you know on paper where management perceives your strengths and weaknesses are and then ideally (if you have a good management team) steer you towards how to take your performance to the next level in your position. It also gives you an opportunity to rebut anything formally, so if you feel that you're being treated unfairly or your performance isn't being recognized for it's true value you can put that to writing and if there is a huge discrepency between your perception and your manager's then HR or the Owner or someone can hear both sides.  They shouldn't be anything but good for you, if you're doing your job correctly and if you have a good manager.  It's very good to go in prepared though with what you feel are your acoomplishments for theperiod being reviewed, because as idealistic as I just made it sound, there will be managers that take credit for your work, there will be stuff you did that get's "overlooked" because there just  isn't enough budget to give you the raise that the work warrents.  It really is done to help you though, if done correctly
