Campus Announcement

Campus Announcements for the week of 03/03/2003

1. Non-Contractual Courier Charges

Attention Campus Community: The Procurement Department has started receiving invoices signed off with okays to pay by departmental designees from FEDEX and UPS that have fuel surcharges, residential delivery fees and courier pick up charges. These fees are not admissable under the NYS Discount Program which we are a part of. If your invoices have these charges on them, more than likely your account was not set up correctly with the vendor. To take remedial action please contact Mary Woodward at 2-9849. Please have your account or shipper number retrievable when calling.

Manuel London, Can Working with an Executive Coach Improve Multisource Feedback Ratings Over Time? A Quasi-Experimental Field Study
Abstract: This study examined the effects of executive coaching on multisource feedback over time. Participants were 1,361 senior managers who received multisource feedback; 404 of these senior managers worked with an executive coach (EC) to review their feedback and set goals. One year later, 1202 senior managers (88% of the original sample) received multisource feedback from another survey. Managers who worked with an EC were more likely than were other managers to set specific (rather than vague) goals (d=0.16) and to solicit ideas for improvement from their supervisors (d=0.36). Managers who worked with an EC improved more than other managers in terms of direct report and supervisor ratings, however, the effect size (d=0.17) was small.
