Leadership and management frameworks can bring clarity and drive up performance
Leadership and management frameworks come in all shapes and sizes. The main components of a model or framework very much depend on the context upon which it is conceived.
Here at People Discovery we can either help you select the right model, or custom build a model which can be integrated against the employment lifecycle. According to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains we have 3 domains of the brain. Frameworks can be built on a combination or centred around one or more of these domains. Most leadership frameworks will involve all of these, depending on the organisation, they can be valued in different ways. In brief they are:
Cognitive Domain – This domain relates to knowledge, problem solving, ability to analyse and interpret. As well as applying information in new situations. Some organisations value cognitive intelligence as a vital component of the leadership dashboard. This can apply to industry specialists such as accountants, lawyers. A leader will be respected mostly for the specialist knowledge and skill they can bring.
Affective Domain: – This domain relates to establishing values, involving people, making connections and associations. As a component of the leadership dashboard, this relates to ability to create a vision, harness the abilities of the people, and create meaning. Although this component can apply to leaders across the board, it is especially pertinent for leaders who deliver public or people centric services or products.
Pyschomotor Domain: Relating to the behavioral part of the brain, this domain involves behavioral and mechanical skill, its about demonstration and how a leader acts. It can be applicable to leaders who can bring skill and act in a way that resonates to their employees and people. Again this applies to all leaders but is particularly relevant to those who can demonstrate their prowess at what they are leading.
The truth is there are so many leadership and management frameworks that it can be confusing for organisations to decide which is best for them. At People Discovery we recognise that each organisation is different and therefore the leadership and management model they need will be different. We are able to bring together some of the best theory, and develop a unique blend of leadership and management elements to suit your organisation and help achieve your vision, targets and outcomes, at the same time building leadership and management capability in a meaningful way for your leaders and managers. Using a balanced scorecard approach we can work with leaders and teams to discover key values, skills and styles which will help your organisation grow. We will:
- Help you identify your key leadership and management challenges
- Recognise and help celebrate the key achievements of leaders and managers and build these into a customised framework
- Engage across the organisation to develop key values and engagement opportunities to incorporate in your framework
- Help develop a bespoke model which will drive forward key performance and outcomes, with clear success criteria
- Align the framework to work with succession planning, talent management and reward
