Today, businesses that
are successful have a strategic direction that is aligned with the employees to
create a synergy between the business and talent. Along with the effective execution of the
business plan and strategy there are four key models that make a company
successful. These conditions, if met can
put a company on the path to success.
Company Culture
Companies that are
successful have a strong culture that is inclusive, collaborative, challenging
and respectful. A culture that
encompasses these attributes will result in employees that are engaged,
motivated, demonstrate high levels of performance and productivity.
Executive Leadership
Successful leaders are
dependent upon a team approach that is communicative, supportive, engaged and
holds their direct reports accountable for their decisions. Leaders need to be developed and constantly
challenged to ensure that the company continually innovates. The leaders of the company also need to
maintain the highest ethical standards as they set the tone for the
organization and represent the company to the community.
Employee Talent Management
With technology
changing the potential for a gap between the skill set and the new requirements
of the job can develop into a talent management gap. Employees need to be continually developed,
mentored and given the opportunity to enrich one’s job is very important to the
success of the company.
Corporate Structure
A corporate structure
and understood by all employees is often more productive and responsive to the
customer. A structure that groups the
business based upon client and customer relationships will often produce the
best results by meeting the customer’s needs quickly and efficiently.
In conclusion,
developing a strategy that aligns the leadership team with the employees, a
culture that supports progressive talent development and a culture and
structure that is understood by all supports a progressive business model.
