Management Skills and Styles Assessment - Sample Report
The task of identifying who is or would be a good manager is admittedly complex, yet the consequences of
hiring or retaining a mediocre manager are too grave to take such determinations lightly. It is essential for an
organization's success to have managers who are well-matched to their job descriptions. Armed with the
information from this test, you can become familiar with the areas that would require attention and careful
consideration if you were to apply for a management position.
Your delegation style as a manager is: The Developing Delegator
This type of delegator is not very willing to delegate, but for good reasons. Developing Delegators would
prefer to entrust tasks to someone only when they feel that an employee is ready to handle more
challenging responsibilities. For Developing Delegators, employees may need to prove themselves first.
Your managerial style is: The By-the-Book Manager
Your management style most closely resembles the By-the-Book Manager.
Pros of this style:
o Will explain decisions and goals to employees.

o Dedicated to doing things that are in the best interest of employees. Will make employee needs a
priority.
Cons of this style:
o They are the ultimate decision makers. They feel they know what is best for their workers.
o They still drawn the line between boss and employee, and will adopt an autocratic management
style.
o While employees are encouraged to offer feedback, it is not likely to change the manager's mind
once it's made up. Their flexibility is limited.
o Every decision and action must go through the manager. This makes it difficult to develop
autonomous workers - they are completely dependent on the manager.
o Delegation is out of the question.

There is certainly more than one type of manager, and different times, situations, and kinds of organizations
need different types of managers. Tough times may call for an authoritarian manager who can take charge
and make firm decisions. During labor shortages, a people-oriented leader who can keep good employees
may be needed. There are, however, certain key skills and traits that make a manager capable of governing
employees. An effective manager has a solid sense of self, is capable of withstanding the stress of running a
department or organization, and possesses solid self-confidence. Moreover, managers must be good with
people - we've all had a boss who lacked people skills, and such a limitation weighs heavily on the entire
department. Being able to identify problems with employees is extremely important, as are communication
and listening skills, and the ability to empathize.
Managers must wear many hats, and must be capable of dealing with the day-to-day and long-term realities
of managing a group of people and an organization. This is definitely not a position for everyone. Remember
that a manager can make or break a company, and can wield a great deal of influence over the productivity
and sense of satisfaction of those they manage.

be reached. Managers must be well-informed and on top of everything that
goes on in their organization and in the business world. This allows for
effective and thoughtful planning, and the ability to adjust plans when necessary.

possess most of the skills and traits that encompass conceptual skills. Refer
to the results to below for information on the traits and skills that are important facets of conceptual ability.
o You generally have little difficulty stepping back from a situation and viewing it from a more
global perspective. When you are able to see the big picture, you are more likely to view problems
in light of long-term consequences or potential, and analyze whether there is room for growth,
change, or improvement. You are also better able to set goals with a wider scope.
o Your technical skills are limited. You will likely require a fair amount of on-the-job training in
order to be successful. It is important for managers to possess at least some technical skill in
order to use a company's equipment, technology, and/or software, and train others to use it as
well.
o Your analytical reasoning skills are satisfactory, but there is still some room for improvement. In
general, when you apply the analytical reasoning process effectively, you are better-equipped to
solve problems you encounter at work. The analytical reasoning process entails identifying the
important information, taking a systematic approach to problem solving, and utilizing various
skills in order to come up with a reasonable solution.
o You seem to be fairly creative. In general, you seem to be rather good at generating inventive
thoughts, which is an ability that can most certainly come in handy. Creativity plays a significant
role in nearly every aspect of management, from coming up with new ideas in a dynamic business
world and planning for a company's future, to solving problems and motivating employees. Being
open to creativity may also inspire creativity in your employees.
o You are very knowledgeable about the brainstorming process. This not only enhances the
creativity of the ideas you produce, but the depth and quantity as well.
o Your approach to problem solving is usually conducive to effective resolution. You seem to be
reasonably experienced with many of the issues encountered in management.
o Your degree of openness to innovation is likely context-dependent. You are open to some
changes and ideas, but likely prefer to stick with the tried and true in other situations. You won't
jump on every novelty. Keep in mind that in order to keep your organization competitive, you
need to remain up-to-date on the latest changes in the business world, or your company,
technology, and methods of operation risk becoming obsolete.

that make up this key skill. If you are lacking in any of the areas described
below, it can be a challenge for you to anticipate possible issues that you will
encounter in the future.
o You are comfortable with a certain degree of ambiguity. You would likely be able to handle some
of the uncertainty inherent in planning for the future, and in any risk-taking situation, but are not
entirely at ease dealing with unknown factors. This fear of "what ifs" can worry you. You need to
accept that even the best laid-out plans may not work as intended, and will require adjustments
along the way.
o You usually take a proactive approach to your work. You are more likely to act rather than react.
Instead of waiting for things to happen or fall into place, you make them happen yourself. You
seem to understand that the best plan of action against problems is taking the initiative to
prepare for them before they happen.

reasonably skilled and prepared, which helps the project stay on track during
the execution of a plan, when keeping to deadlines is crucial. Review the results below for more details on
any areas that need improvement.
o Gathering and analyzing information is an area where you are reasonably skilled. You seem to be
fairly familiar with the process of obtaining and evaluating reliable information needed to execute
plans, although you could improve a little more. This is an essential skill, as it will be the basis of
every decision you make as a manager.
o You tend to be a goal-setter. You have a fair amount of knowledge as to how to set appropriate
goals, and this will keep your employees motivated, as it helps them have something to aim for.
In order to execute the plans you create for your organization and assess their success, you must
set goals for your team to achieve.
o You have excellent prioritization skills. When it comes to knowing what to do and when to do it,
you have no problem making smart decisions. Goals, tasks, and plans have their logical sequence,
and employees are kept on track.
o Although you are probably fine making decisions most of the time, your responses imply that you
are not entirely comfortable with this duty. You either lack confidence in some areas or become
indecisive when you feel overwhelmed. You need to increase your decision-making confidence
because it is up to you as manager to decide how to achieve goals, complete tasks, and execute
plans.

ensuring that resources are organized effectively and efficiently as the plan is
carried out. Decisions are made by the manager as to who does what and by
when. The Organizing aspect of management ensures that goals are achieved. Refer to the results below for
information on the skills and traits that encompass this function.
o You are able to stay organized most of the time, although you may occasionally struggle when
work is busy or stressful. Overall, you apply organization strategies fairly consistently. This skill
will help you juggle the many duties of a manager, including ensuring that projects are done on
time and goals are met.
o You seem to know what it takes to manage your time effectively and likely use some strategies to
do so. You are usually able to divvy up available time in an efficient manner, but some
improvement is still possible. When you do apply time management strategies, deadlines are met
and timely execution of projects and plans are smoother.
o You are very familiar with project management and why it is important. This knowledge and
expertise helps you keep track of the progress of projects, resources being used, deadlines, and
which tasks each employee is in charge of completing.
HR Functions (score 75)

recruitment, and training can break a company. Managers must possess a
great deal of knowledge in this area in order to ensure that they have the right people for the right position.
o You have some knowledge of succession planning, but could still further expand your expertise in
this area. Succession planning is the process of developing personnel internally to fit a key
position at some point in the future, or at least ensuring that the company is ready with a new
candidate when a position becomes available. It is essential to be well-informed about succession
planning and to implement it as soon as possible, so that you will be sufficiently prepared for
future available positions or for sudden changes in your staff.
o You seem to be quite knowledgeable about hiring staff in a fair and legal manner. Being well-
informed about recruitment and hiring procedures can prevent errors with legal consequences,
and help you make better hiring decisions.
o Onboarding refers to the process of preparing and assimilating new employees into the company.
Your results indicate that you are fairly knowledgeable about onboarding and what it involves,
although there is still room to expand your expertise. Effective onboarding prepares new hires to
adapt to their position more quickly, which is especially true for those who don't have a great deal
of experience to fall back on.
o You have an excellent training approach. Your comprehensive and active training process for new
hires will help them adapt to their position and learn the ropes
o You have some knowledge about how to develop and respect diversity in your staff, but need to
further educate yourself. This will prevent unfair decisions and discrimination, even if
unintentional.
o You have the knowledge and expertise needed to build a well-rounded, cohesive and motivated
team. You know how to bring out the best in your group.

o Although you would be relatively comfortable in a position of authority, it's a role that would take
some time for you to get used to. It's essential that you become more comfortable in a managerial
role, or you may struggle to gain respect and compliance from some employees.
o You will have a lot of difficulty handling the less pleasant managerial tasks that may not make you
popular with employees, like providing negative feedback or carrying out disciplinary measures.
You will need to find the courage to do so if you wish to become a manager.
o You take responsibility when things go wrong in your organization or department - you feel that
you should be accountable for everything and everyone that you manage. The role of manager in
itself implies the need to be accountable, and your willingness to do so will reflect well on you in
the minds of employees and clients.
o Your fairly low level of confidence is a concern. To be an authoritative manager, you need to give
those you manage the impression that you capable of taking on this challenging role. You are not
quite at this level of self-assurance yet. Others may lose their confidence in you if they observe
your lack of confidence.

o You are generally a reliable person, although you may occasionally falter. Overall, you seem to
want to give employees the impression to that you can be depended upon to come through when
needed.
o Your behavior will give others the impression that you are generally quite committed to the
success of the company and your employees. In order to keep productivity and morale at a peak
level, strive to regularly make it clear to employees that you are committed to the company and
its goals.
o You are not expected to be your employees' best friend, but you do need to conduct yourself as
though you are a contributing member of the team, one who wants to work together to achieve
the organization's goals. Your actions will often reflect this. You seem to be a fairly supportive
and loyal member of your team.
o Beyond their potential for profit, it is essential to emphasize the importance of focusing on your
customers - of respecting them and making them happy - and you generally seem to understand
the value of this. You will try to set a good example for employees on how customers should be
treated.

those you manage, it is not only important to set standards for them, but
also to assess whether they are living up to those standards as well. By
making it clear to employees where they stand performance-wise, productivity and motivation can improve.
o You often set standards for employees to live up to in order to bring out the best in them. You
likely don't expect perfection, but strive to set the bar reasonably high. While you should ensure
that you do this on regular basis, you are definitely on the right track to helping employees
achieve success. These standards push employees but do not end up making them feel hopeless
and unsuccessful.
o You often emphasize accountability in your employees - sending the message to them that they
are active rather than passive participants in the success of the organization. While you should
ensure that this is done on a regular basis, you generally try to make employees feel
responsibility for and involved in their work.
o Making employees fully aware of performance feedback from customers is something you
consider very important. You will be providing them with vital information that could help them
connect with customers and provide them with better service.
o You praise employees frequently, or at least consider it important to do so. By regularly praising
employee achievements, they will know what they are doing well, and most importantly, will be
more likely to want to keep up the good work.
o You will often provide rewards to employees; most especially when you feel it is well-deserved.
Keep in mind that a clear way to motivate employees and let them know working hard is
worthwhile and greatly appreciated is to offer consistent rewards

o You are somewhat charismatic, but could use more of that energy and dynamism. Boosting your
charisma will help you inspire employees more and make them want to join in and help you
realize the organization's plans and ideas.
o Your behavior at work, at least on most occasions, is guided by a set of principles. You seem to
possess some work values, and usually strive to live up to your ethical standards, which will
inspire employees to do the same.
o Your attitude is usually more positive than negative, which will make it easier to inspire
employees. Obstacles, stressful days, and difficult projects will be less of a challenge for
employees to get through if you encourage them to display a more upbeat attitude and positive
outlook.
o You feel that for the most part, you have some control over your potential for success. It's what
you do, not external circumstances that are the determining factor. This attitude will promote the
idea to employees that their hard work and effort can make a difference. An even more proactive
attitude couldn't hurt, however.
o You are moderately passionate about your work. With a strong level of enthusiasm for your
occupation, inspiring others will be much easier for you.
o You understand the importance of practicing corporate citizenship, and are generally interested in
implementing it, with few reservations. Corporate citizenship involves adopting practices that are
socially, environmentally, and culturally beneficial to the community that the company is a
member of. Many of the most desirable want to work for an organization whose practices are
constructive.

manner that fosters development and empowerment requires strong
leadership ability. Fortunately you have many of the traits of a good leader.
o You likely recognize the importance of keeping employees motivated, and you seem to have a
fairly good idea of how to go about doing this effectively. Your ability to motivate others will help
boost morale during difficult times.
o You often provide guidance and coaching in order to help nurture and develop employee
potential. You have the potential to be an excellent mentor if you spend more time developing
this ability and to guiding, training, and advising others.
o You see the need to communicate your vision for the company to employees, but won't do this all
the time. Perhaps you feel it isn't necessary to keep employees in the loop about everything. Keep
in mind however, that in order to effectively lead others to achieve company goals, those you lead
need to know the direction they are heading in, and why.
o While you are likely not a total stranger to presentations, this is still an area you are not entirely
comfortable with. As you improve your presentation skills however, your comfort level will likely
increase as a result. Ideas, tasks, and motivational speeches will likely go over better if you are
able to present them in a more effective manner.
o You consciously make it a point to be fair and just to all employees, regardless of their position or
background. You treat everyone with equal respect.

o You will actively stay informed about employee progress on tasks and projects. This will allow you
to stay on top of how everything is unfolding and potentially prevent problems and errors before
they happen.
o Once a task has been completed, a good manager will go over it to see whether it is in line with
expectations. You usually take the time to measure employee output against expectations for the
projects they have been working on. This can prevent sloppy or unprofessional work from going
unnoticed and result in an overall better performance from your team. Make sure to be consistent
in this area and do not let important projects go by without checking them over.

o Although you don't possess a natural business sense or ability to find business prospects easily,
you possess at least some skill in this area. This can develop further with experience, but you
need to make sure to keep yourself constantly informed about changes in the business world and
be more open to potential business opportunities.
o You seem to know the direction you want your organization to head in and what you want to
achieve, although this vision may still need to be solidified. With a solid vision in mind, you can
more easily make your mark in the business world.
o With a little time, you can adapt to new or unfamiliar stimuli, but you likely find yourself caught
off-guard initially. Staying in line with a dynamic business world is going to be a bit of challenge
at first for you.
o While the degree to which you will be involved in negotiations may vary depending on your field,
all managers must be involved with negotiating to some degree. This is due to the fact that even
resolving issues with employees and settling deadlines with clients requires the ability to
negotiate. This is an area where you are doing fairly well - negotiating can become one of your
top strengths if you continue to improve.

o Most of the time, you give others the impression that you are fairly approachable and open. Your
words and actions are likely to make employees feel welcomed.
o You have reasonably good communication skills. While there is still room for improvement, you
can communicate clearly and effectively with relative ease.
o Although there is still some room for improvement, you seem to understand what active listening
involves, and strive to practice it in your interactions with others. You are less likely to miss out
on important information communicated by others.
o You comport yourself very well in social situations - you have stellar skills. Others likely feel that
you are well-mannered and easy to interact with.
o You are a very insightful individual, and are capable of taking context into consideration when
making judgments about other people's emotions or behavior. You try to give people the benefit
of the doubt, and when they behave poorly, seek to understand where their behavior might be
coming from. This will allow you to obtain a clear understanding of those you work with, and
adjust your managerial approach accordingly.
o You are a relatively empathetic person, and will try as much as possible to place yourself in other
people's shoes, although you may occasionally have trouble doing so. Overall however, you can
generally understand employees and build a meaningful rapport with them.
o You may have every intention of resolving conflict in the most ideal way, but it can sometimes be
a challenge for you. Overall, your approach to resolving conflict is reasonably good, but could use
further improvement. Otherwise, conflicts at work may escalate if you do not resolve them

o You will usually take a moment to consider the social consequences of your behavior, but there
may be a few occasions when you either have a little trouble self-monitoring, or you don't fully
contemplate the consequences of your actions. Overall, however, you are reasonably capable of
regulating how you act in different situations, which improves your conduct at work.
o Overall, you can maintain your patience most of the time, which makes it less likely that you'll
take actions that you will regret. You still have room to improve your patience even more,
however. There may still be particularly trying situations or people that you find more difficult to
tolerate.
o You are not very assertive, and will struggle to be firm in situations when it is necessary. You
need to be able to take charge of situations and people when working in a managerial position,
and this not something that will come at all easily to you.

time. Determination is essential, as it provides the push needed to overcome
setbacks.
o You are able to focus on a goal when you put your mind to it. While sticking to long-term goals
can occasionally be a challenge, you have it in you to do so. This will help you stay on track in the
process of achieving goals you set for yourself and the company.
o You have a fairly strong level of drive. You seem to have a suitable amount of determination to
push yourself to go beyond your current capabilities. With a little more drive, you can boost your
performance and potential for success even higher, as you seem to generally want to give it your
all.
o You are fairly resilient, although you may occasionally find it a challenge to stay strong after
particularly trying situations. While it could take you a bit of time to pick yourself up after
experiencing a setback, you will do so eventually, and will keep plodding forward.

will need to change too. You are generally willing to upgrade your abilities
for the most part.
o You usually don't expect perfection from yourself, but you also won't settle for lower standards
than you are capable of achieving. You generally possess a healthy level of perfectionism, but
need to ensure that you consistently set standards for yourself that are challenging but
achievable.
o You have some interest in expanding your knowledge much further and seek to improve in areas
where you may not have achieved your full potential. You may not see the need for self-
improvement in all areas, but see the benefits of lifelong learning. This increases your ability to
grow as a manager, and as a person.

SUMMARY
IN
The task of identifying who is or would be a good manager is admittedly complex, yet the consequences of
hiring or retaining a mediocre manager are too grave to take such determinations lightly. It is essential for an
organization's success to have managers who are well-matched to their job descriptions. Armed with the
information from this test, you can become familiar with the areas that would require attention and careful
consideration if you were to apply for a management position.
Your delegation style as a manager is: The Developing Delegator
This type of delegator is not very willing to delegate, but for good reasons. Developing Delegators would
prefer to entrust tasks to someone only when they feel that an employee is ready to handle more
challenging responsibilities. For Developing Delegators, employees may need to prove themselves first.
Your managerial style is: The By-the-Book Manager
Your management style most closely resembles the By-the-Book Manager.
Pros of this style:
o Will explain decisions and goals to employees.

o Dedicated to doing things that are in the best interest of employees. Will make employee needs a
priority.
Cons of this style:
o They are the ultimate decision makers. They feel they know what is best for their workers.
o They still drawn the line between boss and employee, and will adopt an autocratic management
style.
o While employees are encouraged to offer feedback, it is not likely to change the manager's mind
once it's made up. Their flexibility is limited.
o Every decision and action must go through the manager. This makes it difficult to develop
autonomous workers - they are completely dependent on the manager.
o Delegation is out of the question.

There is certainly more than one type of manager, and different times, situations, and kinds of organizations
need different types of managers. Tough times may call for an authoritarian manager who can take charge
and make firm decisions. During labor shortages, a people-oriented leader who can keep good employees
may be needed. There are, however, certain key skills and traits that make a manager capable of governing
employees. An effective manager has a solid sense of self, is capable of withstanding the stress of running a
department or organization, and possesses solid self-confidence. Moreover, managers must be good with
people - we've all had a boss who lacked people skills, and such a limitation weighs heavily on the entire
department. Being able to identify problems with employees is extremely important, as are communication
and listening skills, and the ability to empathize.
Managers must wear many hats, and must be capable of dealing with the day-to-day and long-term realities
of managing a group of people and an organization. This is definitely not a position for everyone. Remember
that a manager can make or break a company, and can wield a great deal of influence over the productivity
and sense of satisfaction of those they manage.
