Human resources practitioners have different opinions about the type of employee that will be the best choice for future performance success.
Some believe that having high potential for future success (“A level” potential) is better than having documented high performance over time. Others believe the opposite, that having documented high performance over time is a better predictor of future success than so-called high potential.
