What is Management SJT?
This SJT presents realistic management dilemmas — delegation, difficult feedback, managing former peers, resource conflicts — and measures how well a candidate's judgement aligns with effective management practice, a specific complement to the First-Time Manager Transition Assessment.

Why does it matter?
First-time manager failure is one of the costliest, most preventable talent losses an organisation faces — a promoted high performer who struggles as a manager often quits or gets quietly demoted, taking their technical expertise with them. Gentry, Mondore & Cox's (2010) Center for Creative Leadership research found practical judgement testing catches readiness gaps before the promotion, not after.

Frequently asked questions
Is this only for external candidates?
No — it's equally useful for internal promotion decisions, particularly for first-time manager transitions where practical judgement hasn't yet been tested in the role.
How does this relate to the FTM Transition Assessment?
The FTM assessment measures self-reported readiness and identity-shift progress; this SJT measures practical judgement in specific scenarios — together they give a fuller promotion-readiness picture.
