THE MANAGER SKILLS ASSESSMENT BY MIND TOOLS

The first step to Building Better Managers

Organizations ask a lot of their managers. They task them with delivering on business objectives. They also expect them to lead, motivate and develop their teams.

Often, managers simply don’t know where to start.

Our Building Better Managers research reveals that managers in 2024 have 3 priorities:

  1. To discover their strengths and weaknesses and identify areas of improvement

  2. To know what their employer thinks they should focus on

  3. To acquire and enhance essential management skills.

Our Manager Skills Assessment is the first step on your managers’ journey to becoming better managers.

What is the Manager Skills Assessment?

Our Manager Skills Assessment is a robust, scientific assessment. It measures the 12 foundational management skills identified in our Building Better Managers report.    

Emotional Intelligence

• Empathy • Self-awareness and self-regulation • Social sensitivity

Motivating people

How you – and your managers – can benefit

Your managers receive a detailed, personalized report into their strengths and areas for improvement, empowering them with the insights they need to develop their management skills.

Additionally, you can request an aggregated report of the management capabilities across your organization. This gives you:

  • A detailed understanding of management capability levels and skill gaps across your organization

  • The evidence to target learning and development resources to the most appropriate and impactful areas

  • A baseline for measuring the effectiveness of your management development programs.
