Increase Your Odds of Success with Leadership Alignment
This book reveals ground-breaking evidence that helps executives better understand how to use common sense business intelligence information, tools and measurement techniques to better predict a person’s odds of success in any leadership role.
“The single most important business practice for organizations to increase their odds of success by any measure is to more consistently appoint The Right People in the Right Roles.”
The time and resources we invest in leadership performance and appointment practices will provide a far greater return on investment than any “leadership development” program. The take away message here is: Stop wasting time and money on leadership development with the wrong people and implement a structured approach to leadership performance and appointment practices.
Tom Olivo summarizes the lessons learned over his 25 years of experience while coaching, observing and measuring thousands of athletes, coaches and business leaders. Right People, Right Roles presents the hard data (evidence), tools and guidelines in the form of a structured approach to help leaders develop an effective performance and talent management system.
Similar to high performing athletes in any competitive sport, by the time people become adults, 70% of their athletic potential is reached. By the time we get traction in the workplace (around age 30), 70% of our demonstrated leadership ability is already reached. As Marcus Buckingham says;
“As people grow older, they tend to become more of who they already are rather than someone they are not.”
Therefore, if people haven’t demonstrated real leadership ability (Talent), the work ethic (Drive) and the effective behaviors (Practice discipline) by the time they are 30, the likelihood that you are going to inject these attributes (or significantly develop them) is remote. Instead, of wasting time and resources on the people who will provide a low return on investment, consider investing in those who already demonstrate the leadership talent level that can be multiplied and that will better bring out the performance in others.
