It can be difficult to know when a leader is ready to be promoted and when they need more time maintaining their current workload.

Here’s a few checkpoints to help you know if the timing is right.

1. They have shown leadership among your team beyond managing their current workload.

2. There’s clear respect among the other departments who have noticed their potential.

3. They are hungry and have shown and expressed a desire to keep learning and growing.

4.  You’ve seen them display high levels of emotional intelligence and relationship building.

5. They've met a challenge (or two) without your assistance.
