...Who is behaving positively in your organisation ? I remember once, when I worked for Procter and Gamble in the UK, that our VP Supply Chain issued a letter to all the managers in the organisation which went something like : ” I had a meeting today and, whilst I enjoyed the general pleasantries and chat exchanged in the 7 minutes that it took for all the participants to arrive, this was 7 minutes out of a busy schedule which we should not be in the habit of wasting in general chatter. In future, I request that you arrive on time and ready to start at the prescribed hour. This is a matter of simple respect and courtesy, as well as efficient time management”. 7 minutes!!!! How many times do we turn up 7 minutes late for meetings? NEVER!!! We always turn up 10 – 15 even later – for meetings. 7 minutes. It seems ridiculous. But positive organisational behaviour is also about respect for others and not wasting others time, and even 7 minutes, is not so positive. Our director was seeing the start of slippage in the way people behaved and chose to address it before it became the new behaviour of people. We were all astounded when we got the letter, but we reverted to arriving on time! For a while. ☺ I don’t recall a second letter. Is this an organisational issue? Yes, it certainly affects the organisation. But it relies on the individual responsibility to change. So organisational behaviour is about individual behaviour. Over 20 years ago, when I was recruited as a young manager to Procter...

...Organizational Behavior & Leadership Competency Assessment and Development Plan Self Competency – involves your overall ability to assess your own strengths and weaknesses, set and pursue professional goals, balance work and personal life and engage in new learning – including new or modified skills, behaviors, and attitudes. Development Plan for the Ethics Competency I need to learn the principle of ethics better. There are many principles that are involved in this competency that I feel are important to learn. Another area of development has a lot to do with that of diversity. People of different backgrounds may view my ethical standpoint to be different from theirs, and there have been various times I have come across this situation. In the definition above of ethics competency it mentions “choosing behaviors”, this is an area that I do need to develop in. Sometimes I allow my emotions to take over which may lead to an unnecessary and unethical reaction at that moment. Getting to know my emotions in that moment and being able to have better control of my emotions will help me make better decisions at the time of a problem or choice. Across Cultures Competency – involves your overall ability to recognize and embrace similarities and differences among nations and cultures and then approach key organizational and strategic issues with an open and curious mind. Culture is the dominant pattern of living, thinking, and believing that is developed and...

...are managed. It is providing clues in the search for the competent project manager. 1. Introduction Project management is often referred to as the ‘accidental profession’ [1]. It is also a profession in formation, and much of the attention given to project management competence reflects attempts to pin down, or better understand the evolving nature of project management and the role of the project manager. Although there has been focus on the search for the competent project manager, there is growing appreciation that projects will be delivered more effectively if there is synergy between the project management competence of individuals and of the organisations in which they operate. The development of competent project managers is integral to the broader development of organisational competence. In a rapidly changing environment, individuals and teams need the competence to work effectively without rules and reference to precedent. As Stewart [2] says ‘the knowledge economy demands skills many workers simply do...

S. Department of Labor January 29, 2008 Michelle R. Ennis Acknowledgements The author would like to thank Heidi M. Casta, Division Director, Research and Evaluation, and Jonathan Simonetta, Team Leader, Pilots and Demonstrations, for their thoughtful review of early versions of this paper and helpful feedback. 3 Competency Models: A Review of the Literature and The Role of the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) For over 30 years, business and industry has utilized competency models to select employees. The trend to use competency-based approaches in education and training, assessment, and development of workers has experienced a more recent emergence. With the mobility of the workforce and retirement of the baby boomers, competency models are being used for succession planning as well. It is within the last few years that the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has turned its focus on skills acquisition and assessment to the competency model process for determining the needs of business and employers and the requirements of skilled workers. Recently, ETA has been engaged with business, industry, and education/training leaders to develop competency models for targeted industries and broker...

...Career Management Guide In the current career environment, individuals with alternatives obtain more challenging and growth-oriented opportunities. Individuals with alternatives need not accept consequences, rather they create opportunities for themselves. Career Management Guide Section 1 Paaggee 11 SECTION 1: CAREERS TODAY Part 1 - The Environment, Career Issues and Trends The Importance of Education and Experience In the current economic environment, education is becoming increasingly critical to career success. While employment rose for Canadians with university and college educations, 651,000 fewer jobs existed for those people without high school qualifications. Unemployment rates in the U.S. exceed 10% for those with less than a high school diploma and approximately 2.5% for college graduates.1 When professional designations (i.e., accounting, engineering) are taken into account, the data on employability and income is skewed in favour of the professional, relative to those who possess only a post secondary educational background. However, in order to maintain a competitive edge, individuals must continue to invest in their development throughout their careers. Specifically, with respect to the future for business and accounting positions, “growth due to the increasing number and complexity of business operations will be offset somewhat by corporate restructuring and downsizing of management, resulting in average growth for executive, administrative and managerial...

...or alternatively known as PMS. The intentions have been noble but the execution of the PMS has not been as successful as they aimed to be. The PMS starts with the objective setting which is agreed by the employee and the line manager. The objectives are then reviewed at the end of the period. This is done to assess the success or failure of the employee in reaching the objectives. The more the employee reaches or meets the objectives the higher rewards he/she is entitled to be. Furthermore, the top management is excluded from the overall PMS which makes it a fatal error for any successful implementation. The emphasis on the employee development is also clearly lacking which needs to be addressed if Dubai World wishes to attain a performance management system which can contribute fully towards reaching the objectives and improving the competencies and skills of the employees.
