New graduates pick one real piece of work in their own team that matters to the business and commit to exceeding a target on it.
Sessions install the first moves of leading: choice, creating the conditions, the top three development priorities, and how to talk to their leader about impact.
They report the number to their leader. Most have never been asked for one before.
- First-year hires who lead instead of waiting to be told
- Leaders see who has it, with a result attached
- Retention of the graduates you fought to hire
- A first impact number on the record
- Execution
- Talent insight
