2 — Sometimes
1 — Rarely / Not Yet
1
Business Acumen & Commercial Orientation
The ability to understand how the business creates value, where it faces pressure, and how people decisions connect to commercial outcomes.
1When preparing for a business review, I proactively study P&L, cost structures, or revenue trends relevant to my business unit.
2I can clearly articulate how my business unit makes money and where it faces margin or growth pressure.
3When proposing a people initiative, I frame it in terms of business ROI, not HR value.
2
Influence & Decision Shaping
The ability to engage early, bring perspectives that shift direction, and back views with data and clear recommendations.
4I am involved in business discussions before key decisions are made, not after.
5I bring perspectives that visibly alter the direction of leadership conversations.
6When I share a point of view with business leaders, I back it with data and a clear recommendation — not just an observation.
3
Courage to Challenge
The ability to voice honest perspectives, raise uncomfortable truths, and prioritise genuine counsel over relationship comfort.
7When I disagree with a business leader's people decision, I voice my concern clearly and directly.
8I am comfortable raising uncomfortable truths even when they may disrupt harmony.
9I prioritise giving honest counsel over protecting the relationship in the short term.
4
Consulting Mindset
The ability to diagnose before prescribing, reframe problems, and proactively engage rather than reactively respond.
10When a business leader brings me a problem, I spend time reframing and diagnosing before responding.
11I resist the impulse to jump to HR solutions before fully understanding the business context.
12I proactively seek out business leaders to understand their priorities, rather than waiting to be approached with problems.
5
Systems Thinking
The ability to see connections across talent, structure, culture, and business performance — and respond to the system, not just the symptom.
13When addressing a talent issue, I naturally explore its connections to structure, culture, and business performance.
14I can map how a decision in one part of the business will create ripple effects on people and capability elsewhere.
15I think in terms of patterns and interdependencies, not isolated HR issues.
6
Communication & Executive Presence
The ability to communicate with clarity and confidence in senior forums, and translate people insights into business narratives that drive action.
16In senior leadership forums, I communicate with clarity, confidence, and structure.
17I translate complex people data into crisp business narratives that drive decisions.
18When I present people insights to senior leaders, I frame them in terms of business impact — and my audience acts on them.
