Linking
People, Goals &
Performance Models
Dr. Barbara Brown
While
alignment provides the overarching framework
for linking practices, the high-performance leadership
strategies of linking people, goals & performance goes deeper
and are more varied. Linking requires alignment of typical organizational
factors, but also creates connections among individuals and processes
at all levels of the organization.
The
linking approach inspires individuals to see the value of embracing
a common purpose or we perspective.
This happens when individuals see that their goals can be achieved
if “others” goals are achieved. And “others”
goals might include those of a team member, workgroup, department,
division, or organization.
