Once you do that you can redesign your training efforts in order to produce the results that you actually want.

1. The Uses of Leadership Tests and
Management Training
The biggest complaint about most management training efforts is
that they are not measurable or quantifiable. There is often no way to
know if an organization is creating effective leaders or not. Indeed all
that often happens after many such efforts is that the people in the
classes fade back into the company and disappear.
This can be avoided by applying effective leadership tests.
Leadership testing involves identify potential leaders and surveying
those who have taken the leadership training to see if it is effective.
One of the best tests is to see the graduates of past management
training efforts have actually taken on management roles.
Another is to survey them and see if they are actually putting the
techniques, strategies and skills they learned in the training sessions
to work. At the same time you can ask if those methods actually work
or not and what results they have achieved in the real world.
If no discernable effect is detected you can assume that the training
efforts have failed. If the results are negative you can also assume
that you have failed. Yet you may also determine that some
techniques work and some don’t.
This way you can decide which techniques are appropriate and which
are not. In some cases, you may learn that only part of your training
has actually worked. In others you may see that it has come close and
failed. You might also learn which training is appropriate to your
organization and its people or not.
A final leadership test that you can apply is to do an employ survey
asking what leadership or management skills are lacking in your
organization you might be surprised. You might learn that managers
are not communicating with workers or that managers are unsure of
what to do.
Once you do that you can redesign your training efforts in order to
produce the results that you actually want.
