How can you examine evidence for management responsibilities?

The situation

Fictional scenario

My own delivery is strong. Why do I need separate evidence of leading a team?

How will others deliver as well, and what capability will remain for the future?

I’ll review evidence of near-term delivery, longer-term direction, team coordination and organizational continuity.

What is getting in the way

Use the four areas to prepare a development conversation. Record actual examples, your responsibility and evidence gaps. A radar score cannot determine promotion readiness.

Method and tool

Management readiness beyond individual delivery

Locate the material in the relevant area. More than one area may apply; the grid does not score people or work.
