Assess Whether Your Direct Report Is Ready to Be a Manager
You
have an ambitious team member who is working toward a promotion.
They’re great at their job, but are they cut out to lead others? Measure
their potential by gauging their interest in managing. Ask them what
they believe management entails and what their approach would be.
Inquire about any experience they’ve had outside of work that could
provide useful preparation. Have they been in charge of an athletic team
or a squad of volunteers? And give them opportunities to practice their
management skills. Ask them to lead an upcoming project or spearhead a
new initiative so you can observe them in action, paying close attention
to their style and how they comport themselves. Lastly, be sure to seek
out others’ opinions — not just your peers’ but the candidate’s
coworkers as well. They’ll have a unique perspective on whether the
person is up to the task.
