Evaluate and develop leadership potential in your team members
What you'll be able to do
•Define what readiness for a leadership role actually requires beyond strong individual performance
•Spot the difference between someone who is a great performer and someone ready to lead others
•Use a structured approach to assess a person's leadership potential rather than relying on impressions
•Identify the specific gaps a potential leader needs to close before a promotion
•Have an honest conversation with someone who is not yet ready without discouraging them
Who it's for
Managers responsible for identifying and promoting future leaders, and HR partners supporting succession and talent decisions. Useful for anyone deciding who is ready for a first management role.
What changes on the job
•Promotion decisions rest on a clear read of readiness rather than tenure or likability
•High performers who are not yet ready get a concrete development path instead of a premature promotion
•Succession conversations become more honest and less awkward
