ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the two most common criteria used in assessing the capability of an organization’s talent: growth potential and performance effectiveness. Growth potential is not about whether a higher-level job is available or if an individual is ready to move to the next level. The learning dimensions are the gatekeepers to learning those end-state skills. Without them little development or growth will occur, for any career path”. Consensus and calibrated numeric ratings on performance effectiveness and growth potential should also be recorded. Once behavior-based evidence is gathered on each leader, assessors are asked to provide ratings on the two factors that are essential in determining effective development strategies—performance effectiveness over time and growth potential. A growing body of network analysis research suggests that the quality and type of connections between individuals on a team or in an organization is directly related to performance.
