  • How will you equip supervisors with the skills to lead ongoing development conversations, including expectation‑setting and courageous feedback?
  • What early indicators (participation in IDPs, quality of development conversations, engagement signals, reduced grievances) will you track to demonstrate progress and build confidence in the model?
