Continuum of Follower Readiness - R2

Continuing with our discussion of follower readiness (see post from August 20), the next level of student readiness would be R2.

Readiness Level 2 (R2) - Unable but willing. The student lacks ability, but is motivated and is making an effort . . . or, unable but confident, the student lacks ability but is confident as long as the teacher is there to provide support.

Readiness Level 2 indicators include:

• Speak quickly and intensely
• Seek clarity
• Nod head, make "yes I know" type comments, seem eager
• Listen carefully
• Answer questions superficially
• Accept tasks
• Act quickly
• Preoccupied with end results rather than incremental steps
