Developing development points

“And these development points,” they say, “what sort of things are they?”

Well they are anything that it is conceivably possible to do differently, that is in the interests of the organisation.

The idea is that if you are going to grow the organisation you start by growing the directors first.

One company director I recently appraised had three mobile phones. To this day no one knows exactly why he had three mobile phones but the fact was that he kept disappearing for sometimes two hours at a time and no one knew where he was – except maybe, the person on the other end of the phone.

One of his development points, at the end of a rather intense discussion, was to be accountable to his PA at any time of the working day.

Even if we are the managing director, we still serve the organisation.
