We are hearing that capability build in
Leadership, Project Management, Sales, Agile &
Lean Six Sigma is critical to future growth and stability in organisations.
WHY? What's the problem?
Only 23% of the global workforce is engaged.
(Gallup, 2023)
23%
What's the
Goal?
10X
The largest result of engaging
front-line teams in a focused structure is the productivity improvements achieved in best practice project execution, which can increase productivity by over 10X. (Sutherland, 2019).
Organisations with cultures of constant learning and capability build are focused on customers and their teams, and easily outperform the rest.
The statistics are not good, but the question is, what are the main contributing factors to employee engagement at work?
70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager.
(Gallup, 2023).
​
Employees are asking:
Do you lead me with respect? Do you help me grow and improve towards aligned goals?
Leaders are crucial to employee learning.
​
Unfortunately, outsourcing training disempowers leaders and reduces their ownership over their employees' ongoing development and growth.
Current State
Most organisations see building the capability of their leaders and people as paramount to future success. Companies are spending money on training, lots of it. The critical factor is what capability it is building and how does it transfer into individual and organisational outcomes? The challenge is that there are very few positive transfers back into the workplace.
​
Why? What's the root cause?
​
Does learning and building capability require more than gaining initial awareness via a training course? Does it requires us to sustain motivation to embed learning, repeatedly practice new skills to form new habits and gain recognition and reward for our efforts?
​
Who can help bridge the knowing doing gap? Who can help a team member apply what they have learned?
​
If we think about the Gallup stats, it will be more than likely be their leaders.
​
The challenge is that, in many cases, training is delivered by external consultants rather than by colleagues or leaders. Leaders, therefore, have no opportunity to master the topic or feel uncomfortable coaching and supporting others to build capability.
What is the
Future State?
