People Development noun

(as defined by SGA)

\ pē-pəl di-ˈve-ləp-mənt \

The process of unfolding a company’s full potential with respect to its members’ personal, social and leadership competencies. People Development leads to conscious and committed personalities, performing teams and effective leaders

Typical situations asking for People Development

1

Inneffective communication between functions, teams and individuals

2

Observable behavior does not reflect neatly posted and aesthetically pleasing corporate values

3

Water-cooler conversations define the company’s narrative

4

Rapid growth asks for management and leadership skills to be further developed

5

High potential individuals challenge the company’s purpose, vision, and strategy, or leave the company, while others stay, watching the clock

6

Finger-pointing, back-covering, and even back-stabbing may be killing customer focus, passion & productivity

7

Fear can be felt, both for what may happen and for instigating the needed change

8

Team building events are fun, but do not really make a change on Monday morning beyond some cool photos in the office

9

Employees and management appear to be completely detached from each other

Why People Development is relevant

Successful leadership requires Direction, Alignment and Commitment.

Achieving this in VUCAD times becomes less effective and significantly riskier, if limited to conventional leadership and management approaches. Organizations need individuals, who embrace their self-responsibility, uniqueness and interdependencies, while sharing the organization’s values, purpose, vision and mission.
