Imagine that you are a team leader at Anders Consulting and manage a group of junior consultants. Your manager asks you to consider whether Kyle, one of your direct reports, is ready for promotion to team leader. You have the data collected from 15 of Kyle’s peers (Figure 21). Write an email to your manager with your assessment. Be sure to provide a clear picture of Kyle’s strengths and areas for development. Support your opinion with specific examples of Kyle’s behavior, which you may invent.
