How should I answer People Readiness Q?

Quickly, honestly and about your work as it is right now.

In 30 seconds

Answer as your work feels right now, not how it should be or how it used to be. Your first answer is usually the best one. If no option fits exactly, choose the closest. There are no right or wrong answers, and honest answers are the only ones that help your team.

Why "right now" matters

People Readiness changes with the situation. The point of People Readiness Q is to capture how things are today, so your company can respond to what is happening, not to what happened last year. If this month is hard, say so. That is exactly the information that helps.

A few tips

  • Go with your first impression. Thinking too long tends to make answers more cautious, not more accurate.

  • Think of the last two to three weeks, not of one particularly good or bad day.

  • Answer for yourself, not for your team or for what you think is expected.

  • Use the open questions if something matters to you. Describe situations, not people. Please don't name anyone.

  • You can't make a mistake. It is not a test.
