Allison Taylor – Team Activity
Focus area for my HR change initiative is…
Focus More on Developing Leaders and Less on
Developing Managers
I selected this focus areas because…
I chose this initiative because great leaders’ inspirer and grow their team by
remaining engaged and leading from within. Managers often garner less respect as
they typically provide directions from a removed position and are less engaged with
their teams. It’s a shift in mindset that creates a powerful change in any
organization. Making this shift would largely impact the organization for the better,
as it stands to increase engagement, morale, and employee buy in. I think this is
very doable with sufficient support from key stakeholders.
I shared this idea with the following groups
HR, Labor, EHS – Senior Manager – Senior Director Level – Approx. 5
people in total. This group of people are experts in their field and are
highly respected among their peers and the SLT.
Level of urgency in my team is
Approximately a 6, while we all see the value and importance of
making this shift, we all think it is best to move cautiously and make
it a cultural change and one we promote and develop over time.
The people on my team who liked the idea
said things such as…
Let’s create a business justification deck for
the SLT to get their support & evaluate how
we can shift our approach.
The People on my team who were neutral on
the idea said things such as…
Isn’t that what we already do?
The people on my team who disliked the idea
said things such as…
Becoming a leader is an internal motivator,
the training may not be able to shift their
mindset.
How would implementing this change set us apart from our
competitors and give us an advantage in the market?
Implementing this change will set us apart because we will be raising
a generation of leaders who will likely have loyalty to us because of
our continued investment and them feeling valued. They will also take
ownership in the processes and the organization, which will enhance
morale, productivity, and efficiencies.
What economic or other forces in our market necessitate, support or
impede this change?
Retaining top talent is challenging for any organization, so developing
loyalty and a team of leaders who are invested in the company that is
also invested in them, is a strong way to increase retention, add value,
and save money on hiring/onboarding costs that are associated with
high turnover rates.
