Before They're the Boss Readiness Snapshot

Most new manager problems do not start after promotion. They start before promotion, when nobody checks whether the person is actually ready to lead people.

Before They’re the Boss is a free 12-question readiness snapshot designed for HR leaders, L&D professionals, senior leaders, and business owners who want to spot manager-readiness gaps before the pressure hits.

Use it to quickly assess four key areas:

- Role shift

- Feedback and coaching

- Former-peer dynamics

- First 30 days

This is a simple, practical first step before investing in the full New Manager Runway Field Kit.
