    About this template

    A skill-assessment radar gives managers and coaches a one-glance view of where a person is strong and where they need investment. Plotting communication, leadership, technical depth, creativity and strategy on the same axes turns a long review form into a shape you can compare across self, peer and manager scores. Use it for promotion calibration, individual development plans, or to align a new hire's onboarding against the role's profile. The chart makes gaps and over-investments obvious in seconds — and because every axis uses the same scale, two people can be overlaid for direct comparison without losing nuance.

    Attributes included

    • Communication

      Clarity of writing and speaking, listening, and adjusting tone to the audience.

    • Leadership

      Setting direction, motivating others, and owning outcomes beyond your own work.

    • Technical

      Depth of craft in the role's core discipline — tools, methods, and judgement.

    • Creativity

      Generating non-obvious options and reframing problems instead of polishing the first answer.

    • Strategy

      Connecting day-to-day work to longer-term goals and trade-offs.
