SHIFTING THE PERFORMANCE CURVE:
When we encounter true talent – the musical prodigy, the athletic wunderkind, the business genius – we are awed. How do they do it? We think to ourselves – “If only I had been born with those gifts, I would be a star too.” We all labor under the assumption that there is a distribution of talent with just a few folks with the innate ability to be stars. We run our team, department or enterprise based on this assumption. Hence we have been urged to focus on ‘the war for talent’. If we can find, hire and retain the right people, we will succeed. Then we all encounter the reality that there aren’t enough of those talented folks to go around.
But what if that assumption is wrong? What if the ‘talent curve’ does NOT predetermine the ‘performance curve’? What if you could clone your star performers’ results without necessarily cloning their talent profile? Nancy Q. Smith, Director of Strategic Partnering with Exemplary Performance will discuss how to shift the performance curve. She will provide models and case studies for how to achieve greater results with your current workforce.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
•· Identify roles for this process that will have the greatest impact on the business
•· Select the criteria to identify the stars
•· Define performance SHOULDs based upon breakthrough practices of star performers
•· Design a system to enable average performers to become more like stars
