You have just inherited a team. You know their names and their job titles. You have seen some of the work. But sense is not the same as understanding, and understanding is what leadership decisions require.
This audit gives you a structured way to build that picture in your first thirty days — before you commit to development plans, hiring cases, or any organisational changes. You will leave it with a clear view of what your team can do, where the gaps are, and a presentation your manager can act on.
What's inside:
The Discipline Compass — map each person's primary and secondary design discipline, and identify mismatches between affinity and actual capability
The Seniority Calibration Model — calibrate each team member across Craft, Autonomy, Influence, and Ambiguity Tolerance, independent of their job title
The 1:1 Conversation Guide — three structured sections, 45–60 minutes per person, built to surface what they would not say in a performance review
Individual Profile Sheets — fillable templates that build progressively from Week 1 through to the structured 1:1
The Team Radar and Manager Presentation Guide — synthesise your findings into a single view, and present it in language the business responds to
The audit does not tell you what to think about your team. It gives you the structure to think clearly, and the language to act on what you find.
Format: Digital download, A4, 30 pages
