Manager's Career Conversation Guide & Readiness Scripts

Manager's Career Conversation Guide & Readiness Scripts gives a line manager word-for-word prompts for the career-development conversation: how to open it around the level and its criteria, how to name a competency gap using evidence rather than opinion, how to discuss readiness against the framework, and how to close on a committed action and a review date. It is a document pack — a sectioned guide, readiness scripts, a gap-to-action agreement outline, a do/don't reference and a preparation checklist. It is deliberately a career-development conversation with no pay talk; the manager's pay conversation lives elsewhere. Every readiness judgement, gap and action in it is yours — you fill it against your own ladder and your own evidence; the pack asserts none.
