Many promotional processes focus on asking employees to jump through several hoops to demonstrate their suitability for the position and capacity to lead all on one day, rather than assessing the employee's behavior and history of interactions over time. Additionally, few processes assess the most important aspect of a leader, which is character. This class will focus on exploring the benefits of running a historically-based promotional process, describe specific components of the process, explain how to directly assess for past behavior, explore defensibility and test fairness, describe how to assess for character in all aspect of the process, and provide examples of exercises and questions that will assist your organization in identifying your next generation of true leaders.
