Obviously, the big (and most pertinent) factor missing in this approach to management is PEOPLE – People are gloriously unpredictable; people are not all the same; people do not always act in a logical and rational way; people constantly surprise us – day in and day out!
From a people and talent management point of view – in my experience, I believe the most effective managers and leaders are –
- More than happy to illustrate how they value their colleagues by getting alongside them, understanding what they do, supporting them, encouraging them and coaching them
- Ready to give away their own power to people on the front line so that they can solve problems.
- Wise to the growing need to nurture, coach and mentor the human assets on their payroll.
After all, it’s the people in our organizations who make all the difference, create impact and make things happen – all the time! So, don't stay stupid ignoring or neglecting em'.
