Managerial Leadership

The Slippery Slope of Outsourcing Managerial Leadership

Effective managerial leadership is a critical component of strategy execution.  It is no coincidence that organizations have watched employee accountability and engagement erode as managerial authority has been systematically extracted from line managers and outsourced to human resources.

Although well intentioned, the trend toward outsourcing increasing components of managers’ “people work” has resulted in impotent managers and disengaged employees.  Managers don’t need to be relieved of their managerial accountabilities; they simply need a sane-making, integrated management system that equips and supports them in carrying out their accountabilities.

Equipping Managers for Effective Managerial Leadership

A requisite, total-systems approach to managerial leadership creates the conditions for managers and their teams to be successful by putting line managers back in the driver’s seat where they belong.

Managers appreciate PeopleFit’s requisite, work levels approach as it provides a framework, a common language and a consistent approach to job scoping, hiring, orientation, task assignment, feedback, development, felt-fair compensation, succession, and promotion – all operating at the hands of managers.

PeopleFit’s integrated approach to managerial leadership equips managers with the skills, knowledge and tools they need to write job descriptions, match people to roles, create effective task assignments, diagnose performance issues, and manage performance.

Creating an Accountability Culture

Within a requisite system, managers willfully assume accountability as they are given back the requisite authority they need to build their team and get work done.  Engagement soars as managers are equipped to provide their employees with meaningful leadership.

Matching Cognitive Capability with Job Complexity

Resumes don’t tell the whole story. Even when the resume and experience look like a fit, can you be sure your candidate can do the job at the right level?

Simply put, to hire well, two things are important to know:

· jobs come in levels +

· the “formulas” that people use to solve work problems have level patterns to them too.

To hire well, simply match your candidate’s problem-solving formula level with the complexity level of the role you wish to fill.

Mismatching costs both you and your new hire time, money, and months, even years, of frustration while you are working hard, but the work is just not getting done.

We can help you determine both job level and candidate capability level so you can hire confidently.
