An Italian manager was sent on a two-day evaluation at a UK assessment centre. He was very worried, however, not only about his language competence but also by the feedback from a recent 360 degree appraisal meeting. He was considered “slightly cold, not very responsive, not interactive in meetings and not a relationship builder”.
During our two-day session we used material from previous assessment centre weekends. This included preparing and presenting a strategy under time pressure, handling difficult interviews, and interpersonal performance in group meetings.
Client: “My assessment centre feedback was ‘…very effective at managing the meeting, capturing attention and using active listening…presented with great enthusiasm and body language’. I believe this to be a great result. Thank you!”
