Business Unit Leader Assessment

Business Unit Leaders face unique challenges and require specific competencies to be successful. With titles like Regional Vice President, General Manager, and Country Manager, these individuals play a key role in managing a P&L for a unit and working across multiple functions to grow a business.

This assessment model focuses solely on their role and the transitions they must make in moving from being a functional leader to a first-time business unit leader by:

  • Assessing the exact competencies that differentiate the critical success factors of a Business Unit Leader from a Functional Leader or other previous positions of leadership.
  • Using the information gathered to identify the subsequent development actions needed to maximize the person’s success and enable a smooth ramp-up to high performance.
