So, what exactly is a competency-based framework? Simply put, it is a system that identifies the skills and abilities necessary for success in a particular role or industry. Rather than focusing solely on job requirements, a competency-based framework considers each employee's strengths and weaknesses.

What are competencies?

Competencies fall into two categories.

Skills Based and Inherent

The difference between skills-based competencies and inherent competencies lies in their origin and nature:

Skills-based competencies:

Skills-based competencies are acquired through training, education, and experience. Hats why we look at resumes and look for applicable experience. These competencies are typically related to specific tasks, functions, or technical areas. They are developed over time through deliberate effort and practice.

Skills-based competencies can be learned, trained, and enhanced through structured programs, on-the-job experience, and professional development activities. Examples of skills-based competencies include proficiency in a programming language, project management skills, or proficiency in operating certain machinery.

Inherent competencies:

Inherent competencies, also known as inherent traits or qualities, are characteristics that individuals possess naturally or inherently. These competencies are often related to personal attributes, behaviors, or attitudes contributing to success in various areas of life. Inherent competencies are typically not learned or acquired through training but are ingrained in an individual's personality or inherent nature.

It is important to note that while skills-based competencies can be developed and improved through training, inherent competencies are considered more difficult to change as they are deeply rooted in an individual's personality and characteristics. Both types of competencies are valuable and important in different contexts, and a well-rounded individual may possess a combination of skills-based and inherent competencies.

While many competencies can be developed and enhanced through training and experience, certain inherent qualities or traits are often considered difficult if not impossible, to train effectively. Here is a list of 10 competencies that are typically considered challenging to impossible to train. Someone either has them or they don't.

This show is best for new business owners, current business owners, and managers no matter if you are new or experienced and in any industry.

As a leader, you know that a motivated and engaged team is crucial for your organization's success.

But have you ever wondered why some employees remain unmotivated despite your best efforts? It's because motivation is an inside job - you can't force it from the outside.

In this podcast, we'll delve into the reasons why managers often try to motivate people through external incentives, rewards, and praise - and why it doesn't always work.

We'll explore what leaders can do to create an environment that fosters intrinsic motivation and how to empower employees to motivate themselves. Join us and learn how to overcome the challenge of employee motivation!

Get a Free DISC Assessment

"You can't motivate someone else — motivation is an inside job" is a widely accepted leadership axiom. So why do managers keep trying to motivate people from the outside in? Why do they attempt to manipulate behavior by incentivizing goals with tangible and intangible rewards? Why do they praise, hand out tokens and award badges to drive good behavior, hoping to perpetuate it?

As a leader, you understand that having a motivated and engaged team is critical for your organization's success. You may have tried every trick in the book to motivate your employees, from offering incentives to giving inspirational speeches.

But, despite your best efforts, you may have found that some of your employees remain unmotivated. In this podcast, we will explore why you can't motivate employees and what a leader can do to overcome this challenge.

WHY CAN'T YOU MOTIVATE EMPLOYEES?

The reason why you can't motivate employees is simple – motivation comes from within. While you can create an environment that fosters motivation, it's ultimately up to the individual employee to feel motivated. Employees have their unique drivers, values, and goals, which impact their motivation levels.

Moreover, many employees may feel demotivated due to factors beyond their own control, such as workplace culture, leadership style, and lack of opportunities for growth and development. In such cases, external motivators like incentives in the form of contests, bonuses, etc may provide temporary relief, but they won't address the underlying issue.

You can impact motivation with your leadership and communication style. However, if you have drained the emotional bank account, it is almost impossible to refill it.

So please be aware of your words, actions, and fairness and, most of all, catch them doing it right more than catching their mistakes and make that a steady diet and your ability to influence your team to be more inspired and driven will flourish.

HOW DOES A LEADER OVERCOME THIS CHALLENGE?

As a leader, it's essential to recognize that you cannot motivate your employees. Instead, you can create an environment that fosters motivation, growth, and development. Here are some strategies that can help you overcome the challenge of motivating employees:

It's time for all of us to be the drivers of our own motivation and have it fuel our ambitions. Don't let yourself be held back by a lack of understanding about what inspires you as an employee. Mastering employee motivation includes creating an environment that fosters greater self-awareness--for both you and your team members--so you can take control of your productivity and success.

Learning techniques such as task customization, continuous feedback, recognition, and rewards will help ensure everyone is engaged with their job duties and motivated to excel.

Please take advantage of the free DISC Assessment then share and like this podcast so we can spread awareness of how important it is to stay actively energized at work. Remember that when your workers are engaged, they bring forward greater potential – potential to grow together, both in tasks done well and profits earned!

As leaders, managers have always been tasked with the responsibility of motivating and driving their team members to achieve success. However, this challenge has become especially pronounced in recent years as more Gen Z'ers enter the workforce. As a leader, it is essential that you not only understand this generation's unique traits and beliefs but also possess the skills necessary to manage them in an effective manner. In order to help you hone your craft further and be fully equipped to work alongside Gen Z colleagues, here are some key leadership competencies needed for managing this tech-savvy cohort of young professionals.

In recent years, the workforce has been changing rapidly, and the rise of Gen Z employees has brought about new challenges for managers. Gen Z, also known as the "iGeneration," are individuals born between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. They are digital natives who grew up with technology and social media, and they have unique expectations, values, and preferences that differ from those of previous generations. As such, managers must adapt their leadership style to be more effective in leading this group of employees.

According to a recent survey conducted by One Poll, nearly 75% of managers said that Gen Z is more difficult to work with than other generations. Moreover, 12% of managers said they fired a Gen Z employee in their first week of work, and being too easily offended is often to blame. This finding highlights the importance of understanding the unique needs and preferences of Gen Z employees to ensure that they are motivated, engaged, and productive in the workplace.

To be more effective in leading Gen Z employees, managers must change their leadership style in several ways. First and foremost, managers must adopt a coaching approach to leadership.

Authentic leadership is a concept that has gained increasing attention in recent years. It refers to a leadership approach that is based on honesty, transparency, and self-awareness. Leaders who practice authentic leadership are able to build trust with their followers and create a culture of openness and accountability. In this blog post, we will explore the key principles of authentic leadership and how they can be applied in the workplace.

Managers who are in the millennial generation face a unique set of challenges when it comes to being authentic leaders. For one, they are often seen as inexperienced or lacking in traditional leadership skills, which can make it difficult to gain the trust and respect of their team.

Additionally, millennials are often stereotyped as entitled or self-centered, which can make it challenging to balance their own needs and desires with the needs of the organization and their team.

Which I can confidently state is patently untrue. Yes, there are some individuals in the millennial generation who fit into this stigma, but you can find that self-centered individual in EVERY generation.

Leadership is a multifaceted topic that requires both knowledge and experience to master. Some of the most successful organizations today are those whose employees trust their leaders, which building trust often starts with fostering an environment of authenticity.

As a manager or business owner, it can be difficult to ensure authentic leadership throughout your organization – but it doesn't have to be a challenge! For experienced managers looking for solid strategies on how to create authentic leadership, as well as millennial managers in need of advice, this blog post will bring you six proven tactics for leading authentically and effectively.

At Results Driven Leadership Training, we believe that authentic leadership is the key to unlocking the full potential of your organization. Our leadership training programs are designed to help leaders develop the skills and mindset needed to lead with authenticity and integrity. We work with leaders at all levels of the organization to help them cultivate a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation.

Imagine a workplace where honesty and trust reign supreme, where collaboration flows freely, and positivity abounds. That's the kind of environment that authentic leadership can create. This powerful approach encourages leaders to focus on self-awareness, transparent relationships, fair decision-making, and moral excellence.

It's a recipe for success that can transform your organization and bring out the best in your team. And if you're ready to take your leadership skills to the next level, Results Driven Leadership Training is here to help. Let's work together to build a brighter, better future for your team and your organization.

When it comes to management and leadership, it's important to avoid showing favoritism. This can be difficult when you have friends or family working for you, but with some simple tips, you can make sure everyone is treated equally. In this podcast, we talk about the importance of avoiding favoritism in the workplace and offer a few tips for how to do so.

Free DISC Assessment

Dealing with Difficult People Course

In this podcast, we will provide practical tips and strategies for managers to avoid showing favoritism to specific employees. Favoritism can be a major source of tension and conflict in the workplace and can have a negative impact on team morale and productivity. By understanding the causes of favoritism and taking proactive steps to prevent it, managers can create a positive work environment where all employees feel valued and respected.

We will begin by defining what favoritism is and why it is a problem in the workplace. Favoritism is the practice of showing preferential treatment to certain employees over others. This can take many forms, including giving certain employees more opportunities for advancement, providing them with more resources or training, or giving them more favorable treatment in terms of scheduling or work assignments. Favoritism can be unintentional or deliberate, but either way, it can create a perception of unfairness and bias among other employees.

Next, we will explore some of the common causes of favoritism in the workplace. These can include personal relationships or connections between the manager and certain employees, unconscious biases based on factors such as race, gender, or age, or a lack of clear performance metrics or standards for evaluating employees. By understanding these causes, managers can take proactive steps to prevent favoritism from occurring.

We will then provide practical tips and strategies for managers to avoid showing favoritism in the workplace. These may include:

1. Establish clear performance metrics and standards: By establishing clear performance metrics and standards for evaluating employees, managers can ensure that all employees are evaluated on a level playing field. This can help prevent favoritism and create a more objective evaluation process.

2. Be transparent and communicate openly: Managers should be transparent and communicate openly with all employees about their goals, expectations, and performance. This can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure that all employees are aware of what is expected of them.

3. Treat all employees equally: Managers should treat all employees equally and avoid showing preferential treatment to certain employees. This can be achieved by setting clear expectations and standards for behavior, performance, and communication with all employees.

4. Provide equal opportunities for training and development: Managers should provide equal opportunities for training and development to all employees, regardless of their job title or position. This can help ensure that all employees have the opportunity to learn new skills and advance their careers.

5. Avoid socializing with employees outside of work: Managers should avoid socializing with employees outside of work, as this can create the perception of favoritism or bias. If socializing does occur, managers should ensure that it is done in a group setting and that all employees are invited.

6. Encourage open communication and feedback: Managers should encourage open communication and feedback from all employees and be willing to listen to their concerns and ideas. This can help create a culture of openness and accountability and prevent the perception of favoritism or bias.

In conclusion, favoritism can be a major source of tension and conflict in the workplace and can have a negative impact on team morale and productivity. By understanding the causes of favoritism and taking proactive steps to prevent it, managers can create a positive work environment where all employees feel valued and respected. This podcast provides practical tips and strategies for managers to avoid showing favoritism in the workplace and create a culture of fairness, transparency, and accountability.

Why do 90% of businesses fail?

One thing that I've always touched on in my experience, whenever I talked about, whenever I talked to people, is 90% of businesses just fail. I was wondering why you believe that is one of the reasons and how can we. You know, I love that question and absolutely true. Most businesses fail to make it past three years, right?

I've seen lots of businesses fail. We all have. And if you dissect that, you, you kind of reimagine re-engineer from the beginning to where they failed.

People, product process, and you can have a great process and a great product, but if you don't have great people, you're gonna fail. You're gonna struggle. Uh, you can have great people, and you can have a great product, but if you don't have a great process to deliver it, You're gonna fail. It's putting those three things together that create the success of an organization.

But very often, business owners don't know what they don't know, and they go into it with dreams and ideas and opinions Maybe. Bad advice from their cousin Eddie. Uh, you know, we are cousin Eddie, don't we? he's a villain and thinks he's really smart, but may not be.

And those aren't always the best decisions. And, if the business owner really wants to be successful, they need to surround themselves With Great People. However bright most entrepreneurs are, many if not most, have no experience or skill in hiring and choosing the right people to surround themselves with. They very often make the mistake of hiring experience instead of hiring the best person for the job. They must learn to hire using a behavioral interview process, not the old, worn out and ineffective interview process. Learn to interview to be successful.

I've never, in a 40-year career, fired somebody because of their experience, and nobody has.

Your fire them for everything else. How do you discover if you should hire a person or not?

Free Onboarding New Employee Manager's Checklist

Welcome, managers and business owners! Everyone knows that having a great team of employees helps make a successful business.

Do you have new employees that need training?

In this podcast, I share our tips for training new employees. These tips will help you set your new employee up for success and help them learn the ropes quickly! When you're hiring new employees, it's important to make sure they are properly trained. From setting clear expectations to providing feedback, these tips will help you get the most out of your new hires!

Finding the right people for your team is only half the battle - once you hire new staff members, it's essential to give them proper training so they can dive into their work with confidence. In this podcast, we'll discuss some tried-and-true strategies for effectively training new employees in order to nip any potential issues in the bud and build your motivated workforce.

As we move through the podcast, We will also offer you some free tools that will make the onboarding and training of your new team members way more effective.

For any organization, It can be tough to know where to start with your new employees. In this podcast, We'll share our favorite and proven tips for training your new employee effectively and efficiently.

So as I mentioned, to start with functional training, you must provide a Comprehensive Onboarding Program:

This program should cover everything from company culture to job responsibilities, policies, and procedures. A well-designed onboarding program can help new hires feel welcome, reduce the time it takes to get up to speed and ensure they are set up for success.

This is not an HR onboarding process.

This is very different.

The manager must have an onboarding process to introduce the new hire into the organization and team. This is the time to start building a relationship and get to know your new person. Remember, people work for people, not for companies.

You must invest your time in what we are about to share. Doing anything less than this sets you up for failure. This first step is, in my opinion, one of the single largest contributors to turnover and ineffective employees.

Onboarding is a prime opportunity for employers to win the hearts and minds of new employees. Don't waste it.

This is where success and retention come from. Blow this, and you are grossly diminishing the likelihood of success for this new hire. It is up to you to make this go the right way. The more transparent and detailed you are in the first day's interactions, the better.

Especially if they are a High S on the DISC assessment. 68% of the population is a high S.

If you are not using DISC as part of your hiring process, you should.

Now Let's get to training them!

Begin with knowing The Four Tenants of Teaching

Tell Them

The first step in training is to tell the employee what they need to know. This step involves presenting the information the employee needs to learn clearly and concisely. The information should be organized logically and presented in a way that is easy to understand. Some tips for telling employees include:

· Use clear and concise language.

· Avoid jargon or technical terms.

· Use visual aids to help explain complex concepts.

· Break down information into manageable chunks

Show Them

Once the employee understands the information, the next step is to show them how to do it. This step involves demonstrating the skills or techniques the employee needs to learn. This step is crucial as it lets the employee see how the skills or techniques are correctly done. Some tips for showing employees include:

• Demonstrate the skills or techniques slowly and clearly

• Use visual aids to help illustrate the steps involved

• Explain each step as you go

• Allow the employee to ask questions

Have Them Do It

The next step is to have the employee do it. This step involves allowing the employee to practice the skills or techniques they have learned. This step is important as it allows employees to gain hands-on experience and develop skills. Some tips for having employees do it include:

• Provide a safe and supportive environment for practice

• Start with simple tasks and gradually build up to more complex ones

Offer constructive feedback and guidance as needed

Allow the employee to make mistakes and learn from them

Give Them Feedback

The final step is to give the employee feedback. This step involves providing the employee with feedback on their performance. Feedback is crucial as it helps employees understand where they are doing well and where they need to improve. Some tips for giving employees feedback include:

• Be specific and detailed in your feedback

• Focus on both strengths and areas for improvement

• Offer constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement

• Give feedback regularly to help the employee improve over time

In my experience, most managers only train using Tell them and Show them. That is a faster approach but is highly ineffective. All four tenants must be included, even if it takes additional time and tools.

What do high-potential employees describe as their core challenges? And what areas of development must they address as they climb the career ladder?

We will explore how to recognize and nurture high-potential employees, analyzing the best leadership practices and management approaches necessary for success. Join us as we uncover what makes good leaders great!

We will share insights based on our experience and study on what they need to support their growth. These insights will help determine how executives, business owners and managers can assist their fast-track employees in reaching their full potential and also how they can help shape the design and implementation of leadership development programs.

Key Challenges Facing High Potential

Over the course of nearly 30 years, the potential of our program has been consistently identified as five consistent leadership challenges:

· Leading teams

· Leading change

· Leadership style

· Leading at scale

· Driving business results

Use DISC to confirm that a high-potential employee is a good fit for a leadership role.

Use objectivity to determine if your gut is right for your high-potential employee. DISC can be a valuable tool for confirming that a high-potential employee is a good fit for a leadership role.

Moving up to leadership roles at higher levels is a process that requires six core abilities, according to managers we have in our database:

· How to Hire Great People

· How to be an Inspiring Leader

· Strategic Leadership

· Effective Communication Skills, including How To Have Difficult Conversations.

· How to Train and Develop Their Team

· Time Management

Examine High Potentials for Specific Abilities to Help Them Develop

Many high potentials have had experience in managing tiny teams. Their next move will likely be to lead larger teams. This next step is where I see many struggles. When high-potentials move up to leadership at a higher level and scale, they must establish the conditions to allow the team to function efficiently without their presence.

Every business has superstars - employees who continually outdo themselves, provide impressive results, and possess the capacity to do extraordinary things. But, despite their talents and capabilities, most of them may become unmotivated, bored and eventually disengaged when their potential isn't fully realized.

As a leader, you have the responsibility and need to ensure your superstars receive the opportunities and support they require to achieve their potential.
