How would you describe your current role ...

How would you describe your current role ...
A
B

[ Explanation - We’re looking for insights from two perspectives: those who or seek to drive change, performance, or new capabilities, and those who manage them. If you relate to both, choose the role that feels most natural. Select A to answer based on your own experience—and please consider sharing the link with your manager. Select B to reflect on those you manage.]

Where might additional support benefit you (or those that report to you)?

The following questions aim to identify what kinds of additional support* could make the biggest difference to you (/your team member) and your (/their) impact. For each area, please rate:
1. How important having this support would be for your role or career.
2. How satisfied you are with the support you currently have in this area.
If you are answering as a "manager" please provide the score you think applicable to your team member.
How to interpret your scores:
- If you answer “5” for importance and “5” for satisfaction, it indicates this kind of support is very important—but you (/your team member) already have all the help you need.
- If you answer “5” for importance and “1” for satisfaction, it shows a major opportunity exists if the right support were provided.
* Support refers to the guidance, insight, information, or resources that might be offered by others who have faced similar challenges, developed or adopted relevant technologies or methodologies, or made pivotal decisions at career points aligned with your current circumstances or future goals.
