The question · Potential Evaluation
Who has the potential to grow into greater complexity?
In this section
Why it's hard
Potential is invisible: it's the likelihood of developing future competencies, and today's performance alone doesn't predict it.
Common mistakes
Promoting top performers assuming they'll excel at higher complexity too - confusing Performance with Potential.
The construct to measure
Potential
The likelihood that a person will develop, over time, the competencies required by more complex roles. Based on foundations (cognitive ability, personality traits) and enablers (learning agility, growth motivation).
