IF YOU ARE AN ADMINISTRATOR:

ORGANIZATIONS

Organizations are created to reflect the multiple companies, clients, or business units you may be serving. GELI Online provides you with the option of working with multiple organizations.

Add Organization

Click the Add Organization button or Add Organization link under the Organizations navigation tab to add a new organization. You will be required to enter an organization name and email address. All other fields are optional.

Edit Organization

Click the Pencil Icon under Edit, or the Edit Organization link under the Organizations navigation tab to edit an organization.

Email Organization

Click the Envelope Icon under Email, or the Email Organization link under the Organizations navigation tab to email an organization. Using Email Organization sends email to the organization's main contact only. To email leaders within an organization, see Email Groups and/or Email Leader below.

GROUPS

You can create groups to help you organize or categorize your leaders into sensible sets, such as by department or office. They provide a second level in which to hierarchically categorize your organizations. The functionality can be used in other ways, but the structure remains the same: Groups are a subset of Organizations. Which means group members must always be from the same organization

Add Group

Click the Add Group button or Add Group link under the Groups navigation tab to add a new group.

Edit Group

Click the Pencil Icon under Edit, or the Edit Group link under the Groups navigation tab to edit a group.

Enter Leader Survey Responses

Click the Enter Survey Responses link to fill out the survey for a leader. This link will change to Completed once the survey has been finished.

The Leader Survey has 100 questions. Please pay special attention to the scales used on each page of the survey, as they change at question 90. Instructions for filling out the Survey are included on the first page of the Inventory. Once a Survey has been completed it is no longer editable.

NOTE: Since it is possible that both a leader and an administrator would have access to the same survey data entry, once one person starts entering data, the other will be locked out.

OBSERVERS

Observers are selected by the Leader to provide feedback on the Leader's leadership behaviors. It's important that the observers actually have experience working with the Leader or observing them in a leadership role. We encourage leaders to recruit all people they directly manage to be observers. Beyond that, the more diverse the population of observers, the more informative is their feedback. Recruit coworkers, managers, business associates, or even family members and friends.

Add Observer

On the Leader Profile page click the Add Observer button to add observers for the Leader. While GELI Online allows for numerous observers, the authors recommend the tool is most effective when using a minimum of 7 observers, to a maximum of 10.
