You have to set your own standards under each heading. The next page describes how to do it.

Each page has a table like the one on the right and a list of attributes down the left. Click and type the initials of your 4 to 6 key team members you are assessing in the box at the top of each column. You’re on the right! Set your own scale, say 1 to 10 - try not to bunch people all at the upper end of the scale. Work down each column by clicking on the period at the top and scrolling down. Another option is to print out the assessment and hand write your responses. FKO BPP SGP AKL PBS NBC BGH EXAMPLE Total You
