Look for people one level below perfect qualification.
The best development happens when work is challenging but achievable. Too easy and they don’t grow. Too hard and they struggle without learning. Find the sweet spot—work that requires them to develop new capabilities but doesn’t set them up for failure. Your job is matching task difficulty to development readiness, then providing support for success.
Take Action: For each team member, identify their current capability level and one task that would be an appropriate stretch. Keep this list for delegation decisions.
