Management expert Ken Blanchard has spent more than 25 years helping individuals and organizations become and stay great. Known as the co-author of The One- Minute Manager, for the first time he combines his collective wisdom to show managers and leaders zero in on the right target and vision.
Blanchard argues that in high performing organizations everyone’s energy is focused on three issues:
1. Being the provider of choice. To keep your customers, you must go beyond satisfying them, you have to turn them into raving fans. 2. Being the employer of choice. Workers seek opportunities where they feel their contributions are valued and rewarded. 3. Being the investment of choice. Money flows to organizations that provide viability, visibility and performance over time.
To achieve these goals, Blanchard argues, your organization must become a HPO – a high performing organization. The author employs the acronym SCORES to illustrate the six elements found in every HPO:
1. Shared Information and Communication. 2. Compelling Vision. 3. Ongoing Learning. 4. Relentless Focus on Customer Results. 5. Energizing Systems and Structures. 6. Shared Power and High Involvement.
In an HPO, Blanchard writes, every thing starts and ends with the customer. Each organization member is passionate about developing sophisticated knowledge of customers and sharing the information throughout the organization. This is accomplished three ways:
1. Decide. If you want raving fans, you do not announce it. You plan for it. 2. Discover. After you decide, it’s critical to ask your customers’ for suggestions to improve their experience with your organization. 3. Deliver + 1 per cent. Excite your people to deliver this experience, plus.
Enablement is the key to beating your competition day-after day. Allowing your people to pit their brains and allowing them to use their knowledge, experience and motivation is critical. To guide this transition to an enablement culture, leaders must use three keys:
1. Share Information. 2. Declare the Boundaries 3. Replace old Hierarchies with Self-Directed Individuals and Teams.
This requires a special leader: the servant leader. Leadership has two parts: vision and implementation. They need to find out what their people need to be successful and they make a difference in the lives of their people and in the process, their organization.
