Talent+Ready (SM) is an industry-disruptive, scientifically predictive tool to identify an organization’s future mid-level and senior-level leaders and know when they are ready to take on more.
Lincoln, Nebraska - Makenzie Rath, the President of Talent Plus, has lauded the introduction of Talent+Ready℠ and the Readiness Rating Scale℠ as transformative elements. In the current context of "The Great Resignation/Reassignment," this interactive tool presents a transparent evaluation of the capabilities of mid-level and senior leaders within an organization. It allows promotions to be determined by both the requisite talent for the role and the individual's preparedness for the position. Furthermore, it addresses potential bias by leveling the field. Talent+Ready also mitigates the impact of "The Peter Principle," which proposes that individuals competent at one level will excel at the next, often leading to incompetence. This tool enables those who are genuinely equipped to assume higher leadership roles to do so. Tailored for existing employees, Talent+Ready serves as a tool for both promotion decisions and personal growth.
Talent+Ready℠ represents a groundbreaking tool that predicts an organization's potential mid-level and senior-level leaders, assessing their readiness for elevated responsibilities. Individuals being considered for such roles find value in participating in Talent+Ready, which gauges both their inherent talent and their readiness for advancement. The framework of Talent+Ready centers on two critical dimensions of leadership – Talent and Readiness. Talent is gauged using Talent Plus' highly accurate assessments: the Operational Manager Talent Online Assessment℠ for mid-level roles and the Executive Interview for senior-level positions. Meanwhile, Readiness is measured through the innovative Readiness Rating Scale℠, which evaluates an individual's preparedness for the next level according to those familiar with their work, i.e., their superiors. This system addresses the question: "Are they prepared?" The response can be categorized as Yes, Not Yet, or No. Outcomes are visualized via an interactive dashboard that supports customizable filters (e.g., by person, team, division, location, KPIs), offering leaders and organizations an immersive view of their talent landscape.
Talent+Ready is the optimal solution to drive organizational success in the following areas:
• Talent planning: Align individuals with suitable roles based on strategy, internal mobility, and future talent demands.
• Succession planning: Identify potential successors and ensure a smooth transition from frontline and mid-level leadership to higher echelons.
• Development planning: Identify areas of personal and team growth.
• Leadership enhancement: Equip leaders and managers with scientific insights to enhance their guidance and coaching skills.
• Talent optimization: Empower teams by leveraging their strongest skills for success.
Rath concludes, "While many organizations concentrate on leadership competencies, proximity, or immediate needs for their future planning, our novel solution invites a focus not only on talent but also on the intersection of readiness. Talent+Ready stands out in the market and holds exceptional relevance in the current landscape."
