FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statistical analysis identifies key leadership behaviors

Norwalk, CT. --- (July 11, 2006) --- ARGOS Assessment Company (AAC), a division of ERC Dataplus, Inc., a leading Human Resources technology company, announced that its ARGOS^® Multirater Assessment System now has a new report available that statistically analyses the responses to your company's 360 survey to identify the key behaviors with successful leadership specific to the client's organization. The new report lists the key behaviors associated and the participant's score on each of them.

The benefit to participants and coaches is that leadership gaps are now easier to identify, and development efforts more focused and can be readily aligned with the company's strategies. Paul Rathblott, ERC President, said, "Adding this new capability not only will help participants get more value out of their 360 experience, but will help their managers provide more focused leadership development coaching. The client company also gains valuable information by being able to identify tomorrow's leaders and what developmental needs they might have in order to assume greater leadership roles."

The statistical analysis is performed by Cynthia Alt, Senior Executive Coach, Executive Coaching Network, Inc., an AAC Partner. Dr. Alt has more than 14 years experience in consulting to organizations both internally and externally. Executive Coaching Network CEO Alyssa Freas, in commenting on the use of the new report at Liberty Life and Standard Bank, global organizations with Corporate Headquarters in Africa said, "The leadership quotient is an excellent tool that provides a valuable, customized dimension to the feedback report. It allows the participant to measure his/her own ratings on the specific behaviors that are statistically proven to be best aligned with the most effective leadership in that particular organization. It really helps the individual to focus on making changes that have the greatest leverage in terms of leadership effectiveness."
