The People Analyser

Your biggest cost walks on 2 legs.

James

Ten taps per person. More Y, they're the ones. More N, cull or cultivate.

Who it's for

• You've got a team and a feeling about each of them, but nothing written down.
• You're about to promote someone and want to know if they clear the bar.
• You keep losing good people and can't see where the gaps are.

The 10 things I mark everyone on

Team player, above the line

Ownership, accountability and responsibility, rather than blame, excuses and denial.

Challenge acceptors

Takes the hard thing on when it's offered instead of talking it down or handing it back.

Grow or die

Wants the business and their own role to get bigger. Does not coast.

Culture of can do, not mood hoovers

Lifts the room. Does not drain the energy of the people around them.

Innovators

Looks for a better way rather than defending the way it has always been done.

Personal development

Sharpens the saw. Reads, learns and works on themselves without being told to.

Bring people with you

People follow them. They carry the team, not just the task.

Get it

Understands the job, the business and what the role actually needs.

Want it

Genuinely wants this role, not just any role.

Capacity to do it

Has the skill, the time and the headroom to actually deliver it.
