business-critical roles that are harder to fill
and where lower performance will have
the largest consequence.

performance, potential, and readiness, so it’s
important to note the distinction between
them.

Readiness is someone’s
fit with a specific role or job.

Confusing these will lead to bad
decisions about talent.

For example, someone performing
successfully in their current job, may not be
ready for a role at the next level.

Identifying someone with potential is only part
of the equation—they may still not be ready
for the role and will benefit from development
to fill those readiness gaps.
