Leadership assessment has a long and successful history and is routinely used by many of the most successful organisations. But what are the reasons for this longevity? Given the options available why do businesses continue to use assessment methods, and what exactly is it that adds to their successes? Some of the answers are pretty well known – the old arguments about bringing a scientific process to a very unscientific, human situation, the benefits of objective data and the added bonus of independent professionals to interpret/advise on the outcomes.
All of these are no doubt true. However, there are also an additional range of benefits that resonate with our clients, many of whom use the tools at the most senior levels. For some clients, this is a recurring requirement, and they deploy Leadership Assessment for both internal and external selection, succession planning and development.
