The topic of assessing leadership and managerial qualities and competencies is relevant at all times. The purpose of such an assessment is to identify people who have a high potential to demonstrate leadership and managerial competencies. Various methods are used to conduct the assessment, with the key issue being the question of their validity, i.e. the ability of a methodology to evaluate exactly what it is intended to evaluate. Not all methods used have the required level of validity, which is important to consider when selecting them. The result of a properly selected set of methods is such a combination of them that would effectively measure the following factors: the abilities and qualities of a person that form the potential for the manifestation of competencies and the actual manifestation of competencies both in simulated situations used in business exercises and in real work.
