In any tool that you use, you need to be made available, information about your POTENTIALS. This tool must take a common standard platform for all. How can it be standard and equal for all? Every person has different education level, different experiences and different job specification. So how do you obtain information of your potentials without the differences, is that possible?
Lets take an example. Look at he picture of the peach fruit above. Suppose the seed is you, your potential (purely you) without the INTERVENTIONS. Here interventions means education level, life experiences and job experiences. So if we compared seed to seed then it is fair to say whether YOU have better potential than another person or group of people. If we analyse all the employees of an organisation with this kind of tool (a tool that does not take into account the interventions). then we can see all the employee's potentials on a equal standard platform; be it positive or negative potentials. Once we know this then we can develop a proper planned interventions for the individuals, the teams and the organisation. The negative and weak potentials can be developed or ignored if the negative and weak potentials has no relevance to the person's, or team's job. Then the question arise...what about your education and experiences? We talk about that in my next session.
