Manager Ready^®

A breakthrough online system to select and develop frontline leaders.

“HR leaders rate their first-line managers as their ‘least ready’ workgroup, even less capable than their entry-level employees.” 
— Bersin & Associates

Why do so many organizations across the world struggle to build capable frontline leaders? Limited training on leadership skills and insufficient coaching and support are common issues. But the biggest causes are making bad hiring and promotion decisions and inaccurately diagnosing the development needs of the frontline leaders selected.

Manager Ready^® is a breakthrough frontline leader assessment that delivers the same quality of diagnosis and benefits as a full-blown assessment center at a fraction of the cost. Unlike multiple choice tests where participants choose what they would do or say, participants take action and solve problems interacting with team members as they would in an assessment center. These real-world situations measure a participant’s readiness across nine critical managerial competencies.
