FMG Leading Analytics Manager successfully defends doctoral dissertation, earning the title "Ph.D.".

San Diego, CA – October 16, 2015 – FMG Leading is proud to announce that Joshua Kuehler, Consultant and Analytics Manager, has successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, “A PRE-TEST – POST-TEST EXAMINATION OF COACHING ON 360° FEEDBACK RATINGS AND ON LEADER-MEMBER EXCHANGE RATINGS” at Capella University, earning him the title, Joshua Kuehler, Ph.D.

Dr. Kuehler’s dissertation examines the effectiveness of coaching, both on leadership performance and its impact on inter-personal relationships. The study analyzes coaching as a form of leadership development, how coaching affects relationships with direct reports, and how changes in leadership work styles are related to changes in those relationships.

In addition to his expertise in the design of engagement surveys, training programs, and 360° assessments, quantitative psychological evaluations known as ‘psychometrics’, are a strong suit for Dr. Kuehler. He has developed diagnostic tests with clients that help determine proficiency levels across competencies, resulting in targeted solutions. He has also psychometrically reviewed training evaluations to determine question-category placement, category and survey reliability, and content validity.

In addition to his doctoral degree from Capella, Dr. Kuehler earned his Master of Science degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
