The 9 Box Grid v Give Everyone a Ten
The 9 Box Grid
High Potential / High Performance – 1 Box
Needs to Improve in Some Way – 8 Boxes
Give Everyone a Ten
An alternative approach from Ben Zander – instead of evaluating people based on preconceptions, limitations, or past performance, assume their greatness from the start—as if they have already achieved a perfect score (a 10). By doing so:
We remove fear of failure. People will almost always live up, or down, to the standard you have set for them.
It shifts focus from judgment to possibility. Rather than a culture of critique, it fosters inspiration, learning, and high performance.
And, over the course of 27 years in Naked Leader, none of our coaches have ever met someone who isn’t a ten at something.
With my love and best wishes to you all
David
