Jeffrey Cole wrote (February 2008): "... In 1987 I saw this [people-performance matrix model] in a USMC leadership training manual from, I believe 1967, which is probably still in the library either at Camp Kinser, Okinawa Japan, or at the Combat Service Support Detachment at Takegahara Garrison (Gotemba prefecture), Japan. Given that this was in a Government training manual I believe that would indicate that the diagram is probably older than the 1970s. The labels on that diagram did not have cutesy names, it was simply 'capability to learn' and 'willingness to perform' and the quadrants reflected low/high for each attribute. The mentoring recommendations based on the diagram were essentially (for the axes - willingness to perform / capability to learn): high/high : coach high/low: teach low/high: father (discipline) low/low: remove as quickly as possible. (Diagram interpretation based on the above description provided by J Cole.)

In today's world, the structure, content, and process of work have changed. Work is now: more cognitively complex more team-based and collaborative more dependent on social skills more dependent on technological competence more time pressured more mobile and less dependent on geography. In today's world, you will also be working for an organization that is likely to be very different due to competitive pressures and technological breakthroughs. Organizations today are: leaner and more agile more focused on identifying value from the customer perspective more tuned to dynamic competitive requirements and strategy less hierarchical in structure and decision authority less likely to provide lifelong careers and job security continually reorganizing to maintain or gain competitive advantage.

1. Talk Straight Be honest. Tell the truth. Let people know where you stand. Use simple lan-guage. Call things what they are. Demonstrate integrity. Don t manipulate people nor distort facts. Don t spin the truth. Don t leave false impressions. I look for three things in hiring people. The first is personal integrity, the second is intelligence, and the third is a high energy level. But if you don t have the first, the second two don t matter. Warren Buffett, CEO, Berkshire-Hathaway "Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not." Oprah Winfrey 2. Demonstrate Concern Genuinely care for others. Show you care. Respect the dignity of every per-son and every role. Treat everyone with respect, especially those who can t do anything for you. Show kindness in the little things. Don t fake caring. Don t attempt to be efficient with people. The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you." Anita Roddick, Founder & CEO, The Body Shop "If people know you care, it brings out the best in them." Richard Branson, Founder, the Virgin Group 3. Create Transparency Tell the truth in a way people can verify. Get real and genuine. Be open and authentic. Err on the side of disclosure. Operate on the premise of, What you see is what you get. Don t have hidden agendas. Don t hide information. Trust happens when leaders are transparent." Jack Welch, Former CEO, G.E.

4. Right Wrongs Make things right when you re wrong. Apologize quickly. Make restitution where possible. Practice service recoveries. Demonstrate personal humil-ity. Don t cover things up. Don t let personal pride get in the way of doing the right thing. "What I call Level 5 leaders build enduring greatness through a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will." Jim Collins Watergate wasn t so much a burglary as it was the failure to recognize mistakes, to take responsibility for them, and to apologize accordingly." Jon Huntsman, Chairman, Huntsman Corp. 5. Show Loyalty Give credit to others. Speak about people as if they were present. Represent others who aren t there to speak for themselves. Don t badmouth others be-hind their backs. Don t disclose others private information. If you want to retain those who are present, be loyal to those who are absent because the key to the many is the one." Stephen R. Covey 6. Deliver Results Establish a track record of results. Get the right things done. Make things happen. Accomplish what you re hired to do. Be on time and within budget. Don t overpromise and underdeliver. Don t make excuses for not delivering. "There is no ambiguity around performance at Pepsi, which some people perceive as harsh. I see it as an important and necessary part of how you operate. You can't create a high trust culture unless people perform." Craig Weatherup, former CEO, PepsiCo 7. Get Better Continuously improve. Increase your capabilities. Be a constant learner. Develop feedback systems - both formal and informal. Act upon the feedback you receive. Thank people for feedback. Don t consider yourself above feed-back. Don t assume your knowledge and skills will be sufficient for tomor-row s challenges. The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." Alvin Toffler 8. Confront Reality Take issues head on, even the undiscussables. Address the tough stuff directly. Acknowledge the unsaid. Lead out courageously in conversation. Don t skirt the real issues. Don t bury your head in the sand. Confront the reality, not the person. "We strive to tell everyone everything we can. We want a culture with open dialogue and straight answers. In terms of our work with employees, we have been direct with them even when they don't like the answer. Our goal is not to please everyone but instead for them to trust that what we tell them is the truth. You can't work the tough issues we face unless everyone, starting with the senior team, trusts one another." Greg Brenneman, former CEO, Continental Airlines Leaders need to be more candid with those they purport to lead. Sharing good news is easy. When it comes to the more troublesome negative news, be candid and take responsibility. Don t withhold unpleasant possibilities and don t pass off bad news to subordinates to deliver." Jon Huntsman, Chairman, Huntsman Corp

9. Clarify Expectations Disclose and reveal expectations. Discuss them. Validate them. Renegotiate them if needed and possible. Don t violate expectations. Don t assume that expectations are clear or shared. Almost all conflict is a result of violated expectations." Blaine Lee "An individual without information cannot take responsibility. An individual who is given information cannot help but take responsibility." Jan Carlzon, former CEO, Scandinavian Airlines 10. Practice Accountability Hold yourself accountable. Hold others accountable. Take responsibility for results. Be clear on how you ll communicate how you re doing - and how others are doing. Don t avoid or shirk responsibility. Don t blame others or point fingers when things go wrong. 1. Talk straight "Remember, when you were made a leader, you weren't given a crown, you were given a responsibility to bring out the best in others. 2. Demonstrate Concern 3. Create transparency For that, your people need to trust you." Jack Welch, former CEO, General Electric 11. Listen First Listen before you speak. Understand. Diagnose. Listen with your ears...and your eyes and heart. Find out what the most important behaviors are to the people you re working with. Don t assume you know what matters most to others. Don t presume you have all the answers - or all the ques-tions. "Nothing beats personal, two-way communication for fostering cooperation and teamwork and for building an attitude of trust and understanding among employees." David Packard, Co-Founder, Hewlett Packard We ve all heard the criticism, He talks too much. When was the last time you heard someone criticized for listening too much?" Norm Augustine, Former CEO, Lockheed Martin 12. Keep Commitments Say what you re going to do. Then do what you say you re going to do. Make commitments carefully and keep them at all costs. Keep commitments the symbol of your honor. Don t break confidences. Don t attempt to PR your way out of a commitment you ve broken. Trust doesn t mean they tell you everything. It doesn t mean they don t posture. But it means if they say, We will do this, they will do it. It is credibility. It is integrity." Scott Smith, Publisher, Chicago Tribune 13. Extend Trust Demonstrate a propensity to trust. Extend trust abundantly to those who have earned your trust. Extend trust conditionally to those who are earning your trust. Learn how to appropriately extend trust to others based on the situation, risk, and credibility of the people involved. Don t withhold trust because there is risk involved. "The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him." Henry Stimson, U.S. Statesman "I have found that by trusting people until they prove themselves unworthy of that trust, a lot more happens." Jim Burke, former CEO, Johnson & Johnson

Organisation Change Management What is organisation change management? Organisation change management is the day-to-day responsibility of everyone who is going through the change. VEGAs experience has shown that change cannot be managed as a separate project in isolation from the daily working of the client organisation it never works. Organisation change is therefore a combination of many components, selected according to individual organisational needs, yet placed within a structured framework to ensure consistency and assurance of results.
How does VEGA approach organisation change management? At VEGA, we believe that a successful, sustainable organisation change management programme, and one that will create a climate of quality improvement, must focus on the following three components. People People are what make change succeed or fail their support and engagement with objectives and methods is a critical part of planning and execution. People will also be changed in themselves, through skills, attitudes and behaviours. Process To change what people do, its essential to understanding the present situation, including strengths and weaknesses, as well as quantify inputs, outputs and outcomes. Only then can a future state be designed and tested for likely performance change, before implementing and measuring the effects. Information Information informs decisions, is the currency of business processes, and allows performance to be tracked and improved. It is also an asset that must be kept secure and managed for future value. with these elements in mind, VEGAs organisation change framework balances technology implementation with the needs and engagement of users and stakeholders. This is because knowledge and skills transfer is fundamental to the development of a sustainable organisation aiming to deliver high grade performance in its new form. Further to this, supplementary considerations for organisational change are: Spectrum of seniority ensuring that leadership and contributions across the range of seniority are recognised Diverse capabilities roles and responsibilities will change and with them the capabilities required, as well as the need for specialist capabilities in change itself VEGAs approach assures that all these factors are built into the approach Through-life change management change will be a continuing feature of the organisation; some parts will change faster than others and be the subject of quick wins, while others will proceed at a different pace. Continuity of change is inevitable, because once the benefits have been experienced, the appetite moves from single change programmes to a culture of continuous improvement. Breadth change is much wider than physical or visible change the psychological elements are critical. Therefore, engagement to achieve positive10/29/2011 change is essential, and prompts VEGA to adopt a wholly collaborative approach to such programmes. 23 http://www.vega.co.uk/services/organisation_design/change_management.aspx
