Common issues the Performance Leadership content helps solve.
Coaching – Our leaders do not feel comfortable coaching associates.
Many leaders lack the confidence to coach associates because they are missing the skills, knowledge, and practice to do this well. Yet, “people development” is a foundational pillar of effective leadership. The Performance Leadership content provides leaders with:
- The understanding of how to assess a person’s ability through the lens of the four Growth Phases: Consideration, Practice, Self-Sufficient, and Excel.
- The insight into the seven Leadership Engagement Skills: ask, listen, instruct, show, observe, praise, and encourage to inspire others in their learning journey.
Trust – Our leaders are not engaging with team members.
Leadership is about gaining trust. Without trust, influence is limited. Performance Leadership teaches the 7 Core Leadership Engagement skills that when used well increase trust with team members.
Culture – We have a negative work culture.
A positive work culture is essential to attracting and retaining talented team members. Studies have shown that:
- 15% of candidates said they have turned down offers of employment due to negative workplace environments. (Harvard Business Review)
- 79% of employees quit jobs because they didn’t feel appreciated. (BuiltIn)
- 80% of the accidents at work are related to stress from negative culture. (Harvard Business Review)
Performance Leadership teaches leaders to create positive work environments by instilling the core skills of praise and encouragement and giving them the knowledge and confidence to put the skills into action.
Growth – We are seeing limited growth in associates.
Organizations that do not foster continuous learning end up with gaps in skills, low productivity, and poor overall associate satisfaction. Performance Leadership challenges leaders to foster a continuous learning culture that:
- Recognizes people are in different Growth Phases with each task they perform.
- Meets people where they are in the learning process.
- Intentionally invests time and resources into associate development.
Productivity – We are not utilizing team talents and skills effectively.
When individual’s natural talents are aligned to the work they do, there is increased satisfaction and productivity. The Performance Leadership framework recognizes each person has natural inclinations and fosters these talents through the 7 Leadership Engagement skills (ask, listen, instruct, show, observe, praise, and encourage).
