ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Your organization says it identifies future leaders. But when the criteria are vague, nominations are secret, and opportunity keeps flowing to the same familiar people, the high-potential list may be measuring sponsorship more than potential.
Christopher Goostrey explains how access turns into evidence, why performance, potential, readiness, and sponsorship are not interchangeable, and how subjective ideas such as passion or executive presence can hide bias. He also gives leaders the FAIR test for making talent decisions more defensible, developmental, and transparent.
Potential is a prediction. Treat it like one.
