Individual Contributor Scorecards: An Inside Look at Performance Evaluations
Our Framework for Evaluating Individual Contributors' Performance

Individual Contributor Scorecards: An Inside Look at Performance Evaluations

I recently shared our GrowthMasters - VC/CXO Content scorecards for evaluating the contributions of our leadership team.

Since sharing the Management Scorecards, we've been hard at work rolling out the scorecards for our Individual Contributors as well. We're proud of and grateful for each of our team members and believe in continuous improvement and in the relentless pursuit of excellence.

The goal of this approach is to bring awareness of both our current and ideal states as well as focus and continuity toward bridging the gaps wherever they may be.

We want to share our exact scorecard process here as a contribution to the community. For context, we are an agency that creates LinkedIn thought leadership content for B2Bs.

Our scorecard currently measures talent on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) for 12 criteria:


  1. Client Management
  2. Curated Effort for Each Client
  3. Attention to Detail
  4. Quick Improvement
  5. Collaboration
  6. Punctuality
  7. Technical Competence
  8. Availability and Industry Adaptability
  9. Communication Skills
  10. Improvisation Skills/Resourcefulness
  11. Self-Improvement
  12. Data-Driven Content Decisions


This scorecard is very uniquely tailored to our culture, expectations, and business model. You will want to adjust all of this to fit your own.

How to Use:

  • Copy this scorecard to a Google Doc on your company Drive (or similar).
  • Make the necessary changes to fit your team composition, values, etc.
  • Share a link of the document with your Individual Contributors and ask them to make their own copy and to title it [TALENT_NAME] [MONTH/DAY/YEAR] || [COMPANY_NAME] Individual Contributor Scorecard.
