Performance vs Potential Matrix

This matrix helps evaluate team members based on their performance and potential. Use it to:

• Identify strengths – Spot top performers and recognize rising talent.

• Support growth – Understand who needs coaching, new challenges, or clearer goals.

• Plan development – Tailor training and opportunities based on where someone falls in the grid.

• Guide decisions – Use as input for promotions, role changes, or performance reviews.

To use it, place each team member in the box that best matches their current performance and potential.

Review regularly to track progress or changes.
