Developing Associates

LP18 Developing Associates
when a Leadership Practice is not present or working in your organization...
you will not be able to BEST organize your organization

Developing Associates is the administrative process that encourages Associates to go beyond specific job requirements, to exhibit initiative, and to actively prepare themselves for skills and knowledge beyond current job specifications. Additionally, this process ensures that Associates are involved in making plans at their level within the organization, their knowledge, the strategic direction, and their roles in implementing the plans.

Professor Kenneth Mackenzie, one of the world's leading experts on leadership and organizational design, has defined 29 Leadership Practices (LP) that are essential to a successful organization.

Clearly, competitive advantage is gained when an organization is aligned for success.

The 29 Leadership Practices are the primary "indicators of interest" we use when diagnosing an organization.

When we do an organizational assessment, we know that the absence of the Leadership Practice Developing Associates could affect one or more of the 12 Holonomic Processes (HP):

HP6. Integrating Associate Selection, Development and Flow with the Strategic Direction

The 12 Holonomic Processes are the main enabling processes by which the 6 Desired Organizational Characteristics are achieved, so the above Holonomic Processes problems could affect:

DOC2. Clarity of Structures

DOC6. Associates Are Assets and Resources
