While assessment centers have been used for numerous human-resource management functions, all assessment centers are not alike. This book shows how assessment for managerial selection/promotion, diagnosis of managerial training needs, and team building among managerial groups are done differently. The author also shows how the assessed dimensions, observations, and participant feedback all must be tailor-made to the specific application of the assessment-center method.
