Exhibit 6. The Selection Sequence: Current vs. Contextually Calibrated

Where the Question Actually Starts

Current Sequence

Begins with role definition

1

Role Brief

Derived from outgoing leader

2

Generic Framework

Standard competencies

3

Candidate Assessment

Individual capability tools

4

Ranking

Score-based comparison

5

Appointment

Selection decision

Contextually Calibrated

Begins with context analysis

1

Context Analysis

Organizational situation

2

Demand Profile

Context-specific requirements

3

Candidate Assessment

Individual capability tools

4

Fit Judgment

Relational evaluation

5

Appointment

Selection decision

The Critical Distinction: Individual capability assessment remains unchanged in both sequences (Step 3). What changes is the prior step - context analysis determines what the assessment evaluates - and the final judgment - fit evaluation rather than ranking. The intervention is a change in sequence and calibration, not a replacement of the assessment tools.
