Frequently Asked Questions

Recruiting, Retaining, and Transforming Talent for Exponential Business Growth

How can leadership assessments help decide if someone is ready for promotion?

Leadership assessments help decide if someone is ready for promotion by evaluating whether the person has the leadership style, judgment, motivation, capability, and development readiness required for the next level of responsibility. Promotion decisions should consider more than current performance. A strong individual contributor or manager may not automatically be ready for a larger leadership role without support or development.

Strategic Talent Partners uses Leadership Assessments to help companies decide with confidence who is ready for more. The assessment process can reveal whether a leader is prepared for a key transition, what gaps need to be addressed, and what development plan should be in place to help the leader succeed.
