The final part of the Run-Improve-Grow model in Ray Attiyah's book "The
Fearless Front Line" is Grow - Blazing a Trail for Growth.
To
reach the Grow level, you have to make and keep Bold Promises. In other
words, like a start-up, you have to be willing to promise to do new and
different things that previously you would have said can't be done! It
is important that the Run component be rock solid before making these
Bold Promises!
As well, you need to make Bold Bets -
and win them. These need to be educated bets - take small risks first so
that when you make a Bold Bet, you're confident that you'll succeed.
There is a good discussion on internal growth teams to make sure that
there is more creativity and employee commitment to the growth
initiative.
Continuing on the internal growth team is a
final discussion on becoming a magnet for Talent - this only happens
when you are considered a top performing organization.
I can see this is a long term project, but the results will be worth it. There is more information at http://www.rayattiyah.com/ and at Ray's blog at http://rayattiyah.typepad.com/
