Looking for your future rail leaders?

When recruiting for a team manager, it can be a real dilemma whether or not a front-line employee has the capability to make the jump from being a team member to a motivational, skilled leader. Undertaking a front-line role can be very different to moving into a supervisory position, managing a team. Some employees may already demonstrate management skills that could help them excel in a leadership role. But how can we judge whether someone has the potential to become a good manager?

The Leadership Potential Indicator (LPI) could help you find out.

It’s a new, online, untimed, situational judgement test (SJT) that can help identify an employee’s leadership potential, by measuring the following five key managerial competencies:

• Leading others to deliver results;

• People skills that build positive relationships and successful teams;

• Thinking skills e.g. effective decision making, problem solving and planning;

• Strong customer focus with external and internal customers; and railprofessional @railpromag

• Driving improvements in themselves and others.

The LPI can also be used as a development tool with existing supervisors and front-line managers to identify strengths and areas for development.
