Who is ready now for a more complex role?
In this section
Why it’s hard
Readiness is about now: it takes behaviours observed in the target role’s context, not impressions from the current one.
Common mistakes
Deciding on tenure or visibility, without ever observing the person handling the target role’s complexity.
The construct to measure
Readiness
How many of the competencies required by a more complex role a person already has, right now. A measure of the present, not the trajectory.
