Appraisals are a vital tool for assessing employee performance and potential within an organization. By effectively utilising appraisal calculations, you can identify future leaders based on their performance and feedback.


Define Leadership Criteria

  • Establish the key qualities and competencies required for leadership roles (communication skills, decision-making ability, initiative)


Design Questions to Assess Leadership Potential

  • Use a mix of multiple-choice, rating scale, and open-ended questions to evaluate various leadership attributes.

  • Rate the employee’s ability to take initiative (Scale: 1-5).

  • How effectively does the employee communicate with the team? (Scale: 1-5).

  • Provide an example of a situation where the employee demonstrated leadership.


Incorporate Calculations in Appraisals

  • Calculate overall scores by summing up the weighted scores for each question.

  • Use average scores for multi-select questions to gauge overall performance in each leadership area.

Analyze Appraisal Data

  • Identify employees with consistently high scores in leadership-related questions.

  • Look for patterns in feedback that highlight strong leadership potential.

Use Appraisal Results to Make Data-Driven Decisions

  • Focus on employees who score highly in key leadership competencies.

  • Consider additional factors such as peer feedback and manager recommendations.

  • Create development plans for potential leaders to further enhance their skills.
