Managerial Development Assessments: Building the Leaders of Tomorrow
Managers sit at the heart of every organization. They translate strategy into action, balance the demands of teams and stakeholders, and drive day-to-day performance. Yet the transition from delivering results individually to leading through others is one of the toughest career shifts.
Fitt’s Managerial Development Assessments are designed to help organizations strengthen this vital layer of leadership. By measuring all 28 Fitt competencies and mapping results directly to internal frameworks, organizations gain actionable insights to guide growth, succession, and long-term leadership pipelines.
Why Managerial Development Matters
Managers are the bridge between executives and professionals. They:
- Ensure strategies are executed consistently.
- Manage performance and resources.
- Motivate, coach, and develop teams.
- Adapt to change while keeping results on track.
Without strong managers, even the best strategies fail to reach the front line. Development assessments provide the clarity needed to invest in the right growth pathways.
What the Assessment Measures
Like all Fitt assessments, Managerial Development covers all 28 competencies, including:
- Core Competencies such as collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
- Enabling Competencies like managing performance, decision-making, and conflict resolution.
- Leadership Competencies such as developing people, empowering others, and commercial acumen.
- Forward-Looking Competencies including leading change, managing ambiguity, and learning agility.
For development purposes, the assessment also integrates:
- Well-being – resilience and energy management.
- Employee Experience Drivers – how managers shape engagement and culture.
- Team Roles & Career Preferences – aligning personal strengths with organizational needs.
