10 Step Coaching Guide Whitepaper
1. Assess the person’s demonstrated talent or leadership ability
Success Profiles categorizes demonstrated leadership ability as A, B, C, or D.
An A player is a leader who is successful at what they are doing, have been successful in the past, and very likely to be successful even if suddenly placed in a more demanding job. They are skilled, dependable, consistent, energetic, and expansive. By expansive, we mean they teach and inspire others to also be successful. By transferring their talents, they become a true force multiplier for your organization.
The B Leader is also successful but not as over-the-top as the A player. They may take some grooming before being ready for the next step. They may not be quite as consistent as the A leader, or as imaginative. They may need a little more supervision, but there is nothing wrong with their ability or their dedication and they are likely to be successful in all but the most demanding situations.
The C Leader has significant issues in some areas of performance, but can, and often overcomes them, especially in easier situations. With more direct supervision, they can be completely successful in smaller jobs, or have good moments even in difficult situations, although preferably that would not be a long term solution for the organization.
The D Leader is a leader who only shows glimpses of leadership ability, even with constant supervision. They are usually only a successful leader when their leader is essentially doing his job for him by constantly feeding him ideas, alternatives, and guiding his performance on a short leash. This leader can be successful in an easy job. They are highly likely to fail in a difficult job and at all times are a significant source of concern for the senior leader.
