Insights from ChatGPT on These Roles
Welcome to another First Moves edition. I am updating my process with ChatGPT, so there may be a delay until the next list. This list, however, has quite a few impactful roles. If you are new to the newsletter, keep scrolling down to get a sense of the rating system. ChatGPT looks for a combination of listening, adoptation (i.e., generic change readiness), and transformation (i.e., specific change that is or will soon be in progress). For those returning, hang in there.

More on the Rating Logic
🔥 Ready for Infectious Change
A role must clearly combine:
1. Employee Listening
- Owns or shapes how feedback is gathered (surveys, pulse, lifecycle, qualitative)
- Interprets data into insight (not just reporting)
2. Organizational Change
- Owns or drives execution of change
- Influences how leaders and teams actually operate differently
3. Signals of Real Behavior Change Design
(doesn’t need all, but should show several)
- Cross-functional influence without authority
- Focus on adoption, not just communication
- Iteration, measurement, and adjustment over time
- Leader behavior, team norms, or system changes
- Evidence of how change spreads, not just how it’s announced
👉 If all three are present → Ready
🟡 Not Yet Ready for Infectious Change
These roles have part of the equation, but not the full system:
- Strong listening but weak on execution
- Strong change management but disconnected from feedback
- Heavy on programs (L&D, engagement, HRBP) without ownership of behavior change
- Influence is indirect or optional, not required
👉 These are often good roles—but incomplete systems
⚠️ Proceed with Caution
Risk of being a cog, not a driver
Vague scope or staffing-driven roles
Transactional work (assessments, reporting, admin)
Little visibility into real influence or outcomes
