Example
Below is an example of how a manager can use the ready, willing and able criteria to place employees on the Performance-Potential Matrix.
Able
A manager assesses the Performance and Potential of 13 employees and places them on the Performance-Potential Matrix using:
DPR and Competencies to assess performance
The Growth Factors to assess potential
Willing
The manager reviews the placements on the matrix through the willingness lenses:
Is the individual willing to take a new role?
Is the individual willing to take on additional responsibilities?
Is the individual willing to change functions?
Is the individual willing to move geographically?
The manager then adjusts the placement of certain employees.
