Versatility: An Essential Competence for Success©
Well informed businesses already know that compensation alone is no longer sufficient to woo or retain talent. They understand that successful recruitment and retention efforts are fast becoming dependent on the intentionally conspicuous presence of alignment in three critical areas:
- between career path and individual aspirations
- between work environment and individual preferences
- between managerial style and the various motivators of diverse individuals
Some leaders have little esteem for what they see as soft stuff, citing wages for work as the extent to which they should be expected to accommodate employees. These leaders inflict upon their organizations what I call the Six Costs of Resisting Adaptitude©:
- Project delays
- Cost overruns
- Rework
- Missed deadlines
- Consulting costs
- Productivity losses and opportunity costs
That’s not soft stuff – that’s millions of dollars in lost productivity and revenue. The solution is to integrate a sustainable quality of leadership that elicits emotional maturity and collegiality within even the most pressured and battle-weary organizations.
This session equips attendees with techniques to elicit increased levels of efficacy and productivity as the voluntary choice of each individual.
Now that’s not soft stuff!
