Managerial Competencies

The importance of hiring the right managers cannot be under played. Managers are pivotal to success. Hiring the right mid-level and senior-level managers not only ensure success through people and higher customer satisfaction but also help the organization in taking critical decisions and delivering business results. Moreover, the risk of mis-hiring has a high cost – it can lead to attrition of good talent, poor performance of teams/business-units and overall dent to morale of peers.

AM Direct and AM Lead are competency based assessments tools designed to evaluate various competencies expected in different managerial roles. The assessments are based on a combination of cognitive, personality and situation judgement assessments. As per the skills and competencies required for a particular role, AM managerial evaluations assess the candidate's potential to excel in the role.

The test presents typically hypothetical and challenging situations that might be encountered while taking business decisions or while interacting with co-workers, customers, partners, etc. Candidates' choices of his/her most-likely and least-likely response to the situation help evaluate a combination of skills and personality required for various competencies.
