PEOPLE DEEP DIVE

The Behavior: Exceptional leaders clearly articulate their Organization and Staffing Plan vision – the ‘who’. They recognize that their people are pivotal. The right talent and behavior composition accelerates bottom line results while the wrong talent and behavior composition leads to short term problems and long term disasters. Today’s exceptional leaders, those who recognize that their roles require the right blend of business, technology and psychology/behavioral savvy:

  • Identify who and how they are going to hire
  • Develop and coach the best and the brightest talent
  • Instill, attain and sustain leadership competencies and behaviors
  • Select people who have the right skills and experiences that align with the position qualifications to support strategy execution
  • Build leadership bench strength
  • Embrace proven development, performance measurement and best practice methodologies that shape behaviors into desired results
  • Execute action plans that are practical and results driven
  • Learn how to select the right employees the first time
  • Identify professional development programs that deliver sustainable results through phased-in learning, accountability mechanisms and coaching
  • Target the right employees for the right professional development programs to optimize results
  • Select and implement the right performance measurements and accountability systems
  • Recognize that employee interpersonal competency and skill development is mandatory
  • Leverage new hire and existing employee human capital best practices

 

The Landmines: Exceptional leaders never hire employees based on ‘chemistry’ and ‘warm body’ philosophies. They avoid rendering quick hiring decisions because they know that selecting the wrong people will result in lost productivity, increased costs, missed performance targets, poor employee morale and top performer turnover. They avoid indiscriminately training employees without giving appropriate forethought to:

  • Best types of training for each employee
  • How each employee will leverage the training
  • How the training will be integrated into their daily work
  • How will results be measured

Effective leaders avoid hiring professional development companies and/or investing in e-learning systems that offer ‘feel good’ and/or one-time programs that fall short of expectations (because they fail to incorporate proven behavioral-based learning dynamics). They know that if they fail in their ability to hire and develop the right winning team, they will experience a multitude of problematic symptoms.
