A company should use leadership assessments when it needs more clarity before making an important talent decision. Common triggers include considering a promotion, preparing for succession, developing high-potential leaders, evaluating management capability, onboarding a key leader, or determining whether current leaders are ready for the company’s next stage of growth.
Strategic Talent Partners recommends assessments when companies are considering promoting someone to a leadership role or navigating a key leadership transition, planning to invest in developing top talent, or trying to break through a performance plateau. Assessments help leaders move from gut feel to grounded insight before making decisions that affect people, performance, and growth.
