Measuring People Potential: Who to hire, who to promote and how to decide

Who are the top performers in your organization, and which of your colleagues has the potential to become CHRO?

Will the next graduate you hire or the next manager you promote have what it takes to lead a team, a department, or even the entire organization in a few years?

The evaluation of people’s future potential is at the heart of talent management.

Leaders must decide who has what it takes to step up and perform at the next level. In doing so, they must know how to measure potential so they don’t make the mistake of substituting potential with experience.
