Growth Connector Lite

Creating growth opportunities by challenging and developing others to take ownership

Responsibility:

Date:

Yellow: you fill inGrey: fills in automaticallyGold: best growth match

Priority order: Growth (8) > Capacity (4) > Skill (2) > Interest (1). Only Y scores; ? means unsure, so it shows in Gaps as something to find out.

Action Plan

Turn the best growth match into a plan: who owns it, who trains them, and how to make room.

Who could train them, ranked

People with the skill and room in their week come first. Skill-only helpers need time freed up before they can train.

How to use Growth Connector

A growth-first way to decide who should take ownership of something new.

Why this order

We always prioritize creating growth opportunities. If someone lacks the skill, we train them. If they lack capacity, we help them reprioritize, and the work they hand off can become a growth opportunity for someone else.

1 · Growth Connector

Name the responsibility and list your team with their current priority.
For each person choose Y, N or ? (unsure) for: Best Growth Opportunity, Has Capacity, Has Skill, Has Interest.
The score follows a strict order: Growth (8) > Capacity (4) > Skill (2) > Interest (1). Each weight beats all lower ones combined. Only Y scores.
Hover over or tap any column heading for a quick tip.
Use Career Conversation Notes for what you've learned about each person: goals, strengths, what they want to learn next.
The best growth match is highlighted in gold with a Best match badge.

2 · Action Plan

The plan suggests the best growth match. Choose someone else in "Who will own" if you decide differently.
Review their gaps and career conversation notes.
"Who could train" ranks helpers: skill + capacity first.
Write the training, capacity, tools and check-in plans. Each box shows a hint until you start typing.
Use Notes for anything else to remember.
