Develop Leadership
Research hs found that leadership, at all levels in a company can
account for up to 66% of a work group's performance. The energy
and commitment of the people working with a manager is directly
related to the leadership ability and competence of that person.
Functional (technical) ability may get a person hired. Though, as
the chart illustrates, there is a shift in competencies away from
technical toward non-technical for an individual to successfully
move up in an organization. The set of competencies that enable
a person to organize and create energy in others is what wil move
that person to new roles with more leadership responsibility within
a company.

This raises two issues:
1. What are the specific non-technical competencies in your company
that are essential to high performance in a position?
2. How do we systematically identify and grow those non-technical
competencies in our emerging leaders?
Peak Performance Associates has a variety of development processes
for developing the non-technical competencies needed for success
and advancement. While specific competency models can be used in
a company to define the specific needs by position, we have foudn
there there is a set of foundational
success factors which effective leaders have mastered.
Leadership 201 builds upon those
foundational competencies to elevate the thinking, working and relating
abilities necessary at a mid and senior level. The roles of Sales
Manager requires some specific competencies and we have a developmental
process specifically for that critical function.
Business Literacy, the basic understanding
of how a business makes money and the circulation of capital within
the company is vital. Peak Performance Associates has a variety
of industry specific business simulations to build literacy within
the entire company.
In addition to workshops, Peak Performance Associates also utilizes
work assignments, case studies, business simulations and personal
coaching as development methods to increase leadership competence
within client companies.
