Abstract
This article discusses an attempt to assess the interpersonal skills of prospective school leaders undertaking the Scottish Qualification for Headship (SQH) during its pilot phase. A Standard for Headship provides a clear statement of the abilities and competences expected of Scottish headteachers. A simulated management case study was used as a context for the assessment of a small number of specific competences associated with interpersonal abilities. Tutors were provided with training for this experiment, conducted during the pilot phase of the development of the SQH, and the process and its outcomes were evaluated. The views of participants are highlighted and the recommendations made as a result of the experiment are reviewed.
