Develop And Enable Them

Characteristics
High-performance organizations:

3

  • Fortify their source of competent people through effective training and development.
  • Challenge their people to stretch and grow.
  • Create a culture that expects and supports continuous learning.
Example
Charting a new course often requires some adjustments in human resources. A new strategy to be the low-cost provider in a given market requires:
  • Greater efficiency in your lines of distribution
  • Less concentration on R&D.
Obviously, this has an impact on the organizations people needs.

The Process
  • Aggressively develop worker skills and competencies.
  • Push responsibility and decision making down the chain of authority.
  • Provide clearly defined business objectives.
  • Provide guidelines about how far they can go.
  • Track their progress vigilantly.

Results
It’s empowerment and teamwork without hyperbole. Everyone benefits when people are given the opportunity to thrive as contributors and to work collaboratively.
