A new chapter begins. - Canonical page: https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/11/kadrovy-rezerv/ - Page language: English - Published: 2024-11-08 - Tags: DigitalTransformation, Career - Russian version: https://shorin.me/blog/2024/11/kadrovy-rezerv/index.md I have joined Rostec’s management talent pool. As some of you may remember, this summer I was [included](https://shorin.me/en/blog/2024/06/cdto-certificate/index.md) in a pool of highly qualified managers and specialists in the digital transformation of public administration. More recently, I successfully completed the selection process for the management talent pool at Rostec State Corporation. It was quite a long journey, modelled on the Leaders of Russia competition: first, my qualifications and experience were checked; then came online tests; and finally, there was a multi-day in-person session during which we took part in various business simulations. A few weeks ago, I received an email confirming that, based on my performance throughout the selection process, I had been admitted to Rostec’s management talent pool. It also included detailed feedback. It turned out that we had been assessed on four competencies: effective team communication, resilience under pressure, decision-making and analytical thinking. My score for the first fell just short of the top level; I received the highest score in all the others. The following strengths were highlighted in my feedback: - Expressing my thoughts clearly and concisely when communicating; - Regularly keeping the team informed about progress, results, and new goals and tasks; - Using feedback effectively – both giving appropriate feedback and receiving it from others; - Presenting persuasive arguments for my decisions; - Using different management and persuasion techniques depending on the situation and the people involved; - Maintaining a high level of performance; - Persevering when faced with obstacles; - Responding constructively to objections, unwillingness to cooperate and conflict; - Delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines; - Supporting others in stressful situations; - Being driven to achieve ambitious results; - Adjusting decisions promptly when circumstances change or new information emerges, without compromising effectiveness; - Setting clear priorities when making decisions; - Planning and organising work in conditions of uncertainty; - Developing and implementing unconventional solutions that improve performance; - Initiating changes and reviewing processes and structures to improve internal business efficiency; - Identifying and structuring key information, and cross-checking it against several sources; - Analysing risks: assessing potential difficulties, developing risk-aware solutions and creating risk maps; - Taking action to reduce the risk of overspending or resource shortages, and optimising resources without compromising results; - Identifying relationships between different processes and drawing conclusions aimed at improving them.
