" Before Promoting Someone, Do a Test-Run !
If you suspect an employee is ready for a promotion, don't jump right in.
Performance in a current role doesn't always predict performance in a future one.
Gather more information by designing an assignment for the employee that mimics the tasks and challenges of the new job. B
e transparent and tell him that you are using this experiment to test his ability.
Make it short-term, outlining clear success criteria and an evaluation timeline.
Be careful not to invisibly promote someone without recognizing his/her contributions.
Permanently providing more responsibility without a change in title or pay can sap motivation.
