| INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT
While organizational interventions (such as improving relationships
between groups, fixing stress "hot spots" in the organization,
and aligning policies and practices with mission/vision/values)
are frequently necessary to the organization’s success, these
factors are not sufficient to guarantee that success.
The reason
for this is simple:
The Performance of the Organization is a Direct Function
of the Performance of Individuals in the Organization
The professional and personal development of individuals who comprise an organization directly impacts its growth and success, and an organization that does not fully develop and utilize the talents of its people is unnecessarily self-limiting. As is more and more clear in today’s business climate, thriving organizations value and invest significantly in the development of their people, particularly in those individuals who have mission critical roles. These people may be members of senior management, union leaders, influential work group leaders, or those in the formal or informal core group of decision makers in the organization. An investment in the development of these individuals is a direct investment in the bottom line.
