Leadership Development is Worth the Investment

Filed under: Coaching — The Robinson Group Coach @ 9:56 am

“Leadership is applicable to all facets of life: a competency that you can learn to expand your perspective, set the context of a goal, understand the dynamics of human behavior and take the initiative to get to where you want to be.”
~John G Agno

Recruiting, developing and retaining talent in an industry is critical to the success to your company especially in economic uncertainties. These leadership activities are essential components of every successful manager and executive who has the responsibility to help grow and develop talent.

I recently partnered with company to design a competency matrix and succession plan for all of the key executive positions. This powerful process will lead to future success; bringing amazing clarity to vagueness that often permeates an organization.

WHY:

• Visibility to career pathing / succession planning
• Provide skills assessment and the gap analysis
• Improve Organization /Department/Individual strengths
• Foster employee development; enables coaching / feedback
• Ties to functional/ team component of company model

WHAT:

Competency
A competency describes the knowledge, skill, attributes and / or behaviors that clearly defines the requirement for success in a job.

Functional/ Technical:
Demonstrates appropriate depth of understanding and skill in current functional area.

BOTTOM LINE: The differentiation between what you can and cannot learn on the job.

HOW:

• Complete coverage for all proficiencies
• List necessary skills, for successful performance, for each position
• Ensure universally accepted by stakeholders
• Tie into company functional/technical competency and overall performance
management
• Develop communications materials

To learn more about these POWERFUL programs please call or email me for a sample competency grid.

ARE YOU RELEVANT IN YOUR JOB

Filed under: Coaching — The Robinson Group Coach @ 3:55 pm

 

I so often hear that people are not “in it for the money” that they do there job because they love what the do, who they serve, what they can accomplish .  I am continually reminding them that without the bottom line, the ROI, there would not be an opportunity to make a difference.  

 

Are You relevant in your job?  Are you contributing to the bottom line.  Now more than ever it is important  to know if you are relevant in your job. 

 

What are the key accountabilities are you responsible for?

What goals have you committed to achieving it this position over the next year?

If your job could talk, which skills would be identified as most important?

Who truly understands your position?

If your superiors had a clearer understanding of your job, could you be more productive? 

If your direct reports had a clearer understanding of their positions, would they be more productive? 

 How would this understanding affect your bottom-line? 

How would this understanding affect team synergy? 

How would this understanding affect morale? 

How would this understanding impact your hiring process? 

How would this understanding impact your on-boarding process?

 

Soon you will see the importance of a clear understanding of the key accountabilities and performance criteria the job itself requires for superior performance.
