Executive Assessment and Senior Manager Assessment

Executive Assessment

Robust and Comprehensive Leadership Assessment

Having the right people to lead the long-term success of the business is invaluable. Leader-Define is a leadership assessment service from Quest. Our consultants conduct a reliable assessment of your senior people or high potentials to the depth you need to make confident decisions.

Leader-Define has been designed to reflect the unique responsibilities and challenges faced by senior people. We measure leadership capability using a range of exercises and psychometrics. The output is a report which provides all the detailed information you need to identify leadership potential and style. Key strengths and development areas are identified along with professional recommendations of leadership capability.

We can focus on the following core areas:

In-depth analysis of psychological style
Business Acumen, entrepreneurialism
Leadership potential and managerial style
Management 'Tacit' Knowledge - 'street-wise' intelligence
Key implicit Drivers & Motivators

Our senior assessments are typically conducted over a day of exercises on a 1-2-1 basis, although we can accomodate more participants if required.

Case Study - Senior Manager & Director Assessments

During a period of significant re-organisation British Energy wanted to generate a new culture and way of doing business. There was a need to appoint new senior-level talent over an extended period. In particular, British Energy were interested in developing commercial awareness and leadership. The organisational competencies were re-defined so that they could be used effectively for their senior management and executive level appointments.

Due to the high number of managers to be assessed a bespoke strategic-level written exercise and interactive follow-up was designed to specifically assess key strategic and commercial thinking skills. This incorporated analogous issues and challenges facing the real business. Psychometric assessments were chosen that provided objective measures of capability.

Careful consideration was given to the candidate experience as these were talented external candidates who could carefully select the company they wish to join. Quest provided verbal feedback and a report. All candidates received feedback and successful candidates had a developmental feedback session.
