This book is full of helpful topics to get you focused before you take that next promotional exam, including assessment centers or related performance based scenarios.

It also has a chapter just on Interview Panels, with many sample scenarios for practice!

Each component of the Assessment Center process is covered in detail, along with a list of behavioral dimensions that the candidate who is ready for the job, should be able to demonstrate.

While the book is geared to help you get ready for any type of assessment process, the core of the text is to help you get ready for the job itself. If you have done all you can by strengthening your skills to become a strong supervisor, you still have to consider the political and even personal issues that undoubtedly will surface. Keep in mind building relationships is a critical component of any good supervisor or manager.
