Leading people encourages peak performance…

If you are a senior leader, you lead the organization and offer assistance to others on how to lead their teams. If you involve yourself in the management of things too oftern, results will be negative. Someone has to keep the focus on a higher strategy. Someone has to ground the organization on what success looks like.

By offering assistance to your organization at various points, and demonstrating how to lead, especially in times of change, you commit to the success of the project and your organization. You also demonstrate that you want continuous ROI, not just one big enough to build your own career.

Driving for results is good if you have a purpose. Negative reinforcement of training by penalizing those that “fail” assessments instead of understanding where gaps lie, will negatively impact results, especially short-term results. Offer opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and application. Offer positive reinforcement through recognition for high levels of application. By leading through change, you can manage your return more thoroughly.
