Directors doing what they say they will do

On development points from a set of director appraisals I try to pick up the essence of what is being said in the room. It can be the tiniest nuance or a raised eyebrow or maybe a sigh at a particular moment in time that is the clue to unearthing a major point for open and honest discussion.

Sometimes development points are right for the organisation, but a bit of a challenge for the individual. Certainly that’s how it can feel for all of us on occasions! That’s why the follow up of exactly how these development points are to be addressed is so important.

The great news for all organisations is that the better the development points are addressed at Board level in the first instance, the more powerful will be similar work with everyone else on the payroll. If on the other hand directors pay lip service to, or effectively ignore their development points then ‘people problems’ of any description will continue to occur.

In the knowledge economy where we all face world class competition, the very last thing anyone needs is unresolved internal competition.
