A-player Calculator: Measure Your Top Talent ROI

A-players drive measurable results—often increasing revenue by 10% and productivity by over 20%. They raise the bar for culture, attract top talent, and push organizations toward continuous improvement.

Utilizing the A-player Calculator

The calculator helps leaders assess current and future team members across six key categories to determine if someone is an A-player, developing, or falls into the B/C range.

Here’s how to use it:

  1. Choose a current or past leader to evaluate.
  2. Score them using the questions, then generate the report.
  3. Re-run the calculator, boosting scores by 10–50% (or maxing them out) to see the potential impact of an A-player.

When hiring, use the calculator to grade candidates based on interviews, references, and assessments. Compare reports to see how each stacks up. This provides a clear, performance-based view of talent potential and the value A-players bring.

COST OF VACANT POSITIONS COST OF REJECTED OFFERS COST OF BAD HIRES

DISCLAIMER: The research and mathematical models used to develop these calculations were completed by the U.S. Dept. Of Labor and supported by research within various publications including: Harvard Business Review, C.E.O. Magazine, Forbes and by the SHRM (to list just a few of the sources we reviewed). It’s fair to admit that vacancy timelines, salary (and total compensation) levels, performance variables of individual contributors, the perceived importance of any individual vacancy, and other factors can affect the accuracy of the calculations. Therefore, averages were used to balance the numbers and make them as credible as possible. The principle point of the calculators is to demonstrate that you can determine a fair estimate of the costs.
