The Organizational Context

Start from where you are.

What is the content of the contract?
Be clear on what you’re ready to give in exchange for what they will get.

With competency models, be careful what you wish for.

It’s less about the KPI and more about the
behavior it drives.
![Page 18: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
But be aggressive about addressing conflicting
priorities.
![Page 19: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Figure out what you want.
1.What’s the culture you want?
2.What are the top two or three KPIs for which leaders must be accountable?
3.What leadership behaviors will drive those metrics, and that culture?
Surprisingly, these questions often go unexplored.

Have a Perspective.
![Page 22: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What’s your model?
Be deliberate about what “Leadership” meansin your organization.
![Page 23: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remember: leadership is the brand.

Development without assessment is waste.
Having the perfect model is less important than applying a reliable and valid model consistently.

That being said...

And consider your investment model.

Don’t pander, but don’t ignore. Agree on the balance.

Find your leaders, and challenge them.
Beware the curse of “perfect readiness”.
Time
Progression
Development in quantum leaps of scale, scope, and complexity at high
speed.
Conventional practice: Development in incremental steps over extended time.

Find your leaders, and challenge them.
At the higher levels the pool should become much smaller.

Work hard at building a culture of open feedback.

Establish development relationships.

Provide formal coaching.

Focus on the jobs people do.
![Page 38: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Don’t make it all about the workshops (and the
facilitator).

But only if the learning really matters.

Leadership development isn’t just for the troops.

some mistakes).

Money.
It helps, but you can still develop great leaders on a budget.

If you can’t get senior leaders involved, that’s a
problem.

Summary.
![Page 50: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Start from where you are and figure out what you want.
(Running workshops won’t compensate for lack of a clear vision of what success looks like.)
![Page 51: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Have the culture, behavior, and KPIs discussion.
(See your endgame and assess the gap)
![Page 52: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
When it comes to competencies, less is more.
(Keep it simple; Focus on the “must haves”; Use them where it counts)
![Page 53: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Have a perspective on leadership.
(Vendors are in it for the $$; Philosophies actually matter; Your leadership is your brand)
![Page 54: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Review and differentiate your talent.
Commit to their development.
Track the results. (Wash - Rinse - Repeat)
![Page 55: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Find future leaders and challenge them.
(Diamonds are the result of time and pressure, but don’t think you’ll always know where to find them.)
![Page 56: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Build leadership capacity and capability top to bottom...
(Leadership development isn’t only for the young’uns.)
![Page 57: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
but don’t paint with too broad a brush.
(One size does not fit all.)
![Page 58: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The only way to lose this game is to refuse to play.
(Software updates never end, so why should developing leaders be different?)
![Page 59: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Be a business partner - ensure accountability sits
where it should. (Give a man a fish...you know the story.)
![Page 60: Building Leaders 101_20141120_DM](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ed22941a28aba17b8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
We have one of the best jobs in the world.
(So go have fun for Pete’s sake!)
