Take-aways
Majority of employees today want to make a strong
contribution in an organization that makes a difference in the
world.
Discretionary effort is key to productivity
Managers can most affect discretionary effort (by as much as
30 - 40%!)
Managers are most effective when they can see the connection
between development and organizational success
Managers can successfully develop their employees without
investing significantly more time in additional responsibilities.
We can do our part by helping them build fundamental people
management skills, teaching them to fishnot fishing for
them.
