This week Mike talks with Dr. Megan Leasher, Chief Solution Strategist with Talent Plus. They discuss the ins and outs of assessments, 360’s, and personal development.

A big question people have on both sides of the desk is, “Should assessments be part of the hiring process?” Mike and Megan share the key points every leader should consider, like:

How do you use them? (5:41)

What you need to do before even starting the process. (18:26)
What is the goal of any assessment, especially a 360? Mike and Megan unpack this delicate subject and offer important keys to optimizing success. They agree that 360’s and coaching should not be remedial. Listen now to get the full scoop! (25:05)
