Notes from the practice
Most leadership competency models are too long to recall and too vague to apply. Build one from your own incidents, in observable behavior, wired into three decisions.
New executives rarely fail on capability. They fail on context, peer relationships and an unwritten mandate. A 90 day plan that addresses all three.
An engagement survey measures how people feel about working here. Culture is what gets rewarded, tolerated and punished. Here is how to measure company culture in behavior terms.
Change management moves a population to a known future state on a schedule. Culture change alters the consequences attached to everyday behavior. Picking the wrong one costs a year.
