You were recently asked to identify one employee you manage as a top performer to align with a new company program offering top performers intensive management skills training. The employee you identified for this role is unaware of the program. This morning, she confided in you that she just applied for graduate school and will find out if she has been accepted five months from now, with the intent to start the program one month after that. Would you change the identification of who was the top performer in your team based on this information?
