What Each Person Brings With Them

Organizational effectiveness depends on people. We will not get the true potential of what people can contribute if we continue to treat associates as monolithic in terms of what they bring to us. While we can help shape their development, we don’t usually ask them to choose the extent to which they will be ready and willing to be effective, efficient, and motivated. We can help by encouraging talent to assess themselves so they can decide what they wish to change. Doing so can unleash potential that then may be successfully developed and rewarded. The individual decision to change can be an essential ingredient in personal and organizational success, as well as to successful talent development.
