What if some of the people don't meet all the points?
That is very normal, people are usually stronger in some areas and weaker in others. The framework should not be used as a checklist to promote people but instead as guidance to have meaningful career conversations.
When is a person ready to move to the next level?
Companies usually expect a person to be performing at the next level consistently for several months before formalizing a promotion.
How do I collect evidence to support the discussion with my direct reports?
Different teams collect evidence in different ways. A recommended approach is to use a combination of:
- 1:1 conversations
- Feedback from peers and other teams
- Self-evaluation
