Are your leaders prepared to drive performance in
today’s dynamic and uncertain business climate?
Do they have both the traits and capabilities to
overcome challenges? Is your organization looking
at outcomes that measure leadership effectiveness
which leads to sustainable performance?
The truth is, the world is awash in leadership models but the results
continue to disappoint:
INTRODUCTION
Existing methods of identifying,
and developing leaders are
not working as they should.
The world of work is changing
significantly, creating a gap
between traditional ideas of
leadership effectiveness and
what it actually takes to drive
business performance in the
Human Age.
Our approach differs from
existing models in three key
ways: outcomes are defined
not only in financial terms but
also in metrics that measure the
impact on human motivation;
inherent enablers are aligned
to the challenge of leading in
times of certain uncertainty;
and, coachable capabilities
are narrowed to those that
matter most to deliver the
desired outcomes.

performers successfully advance
to higher levels of leadership.

What led us to this model?

Talent Management Survey, Manpower Group
We began with how business and markets are changing. We see four major
transformational trends in the workplace that directly impact leadership:
Demographics / Talent Mismatch.
Due to demographic and societal shifts, companies are struggling to find people
with the precise skills or combination of skills they need. In 2015, over one-third of
employers worldwide said they were having trouble filling positions due to lack of
suitable talent.1
As the global demand for highly skilled labor continues to grow, leaders
will need to align their talent strategies with their business strategies to ensure that
they have the right people in place, and rethink old assumptions about work models,
people practices and talent sources.
Certain Uncertainty.
In the Human Age, companies can no longer count on maintaining a sustainable
competitive advantage. To thrive in today’s ever-changing, global environment,
organizations must be agile in order to anticipate and respond to the constantly evolving
economic, demographic, and technological forces that are reshaping the world. In these
periods of sustained uncertainty, business leaders need to take decisive action based
on strong principles. Yet too many react defensively and irrationally or become paralyzed
by the turmoil. As a result, organizations become less nimble, employee engagement
drops, and productivity falls. To adapt to the unprecedented mix of changes impacting
business today, organizations need adaptive, agile and courageous leaders who are
comfortable navigating risk; passionate about investing in skill building opportunities for
their employees; and, innovative in the way they leverage talent to stay competitive.
Resegmentation of Markets.
The voice of the consumer is shaping products and services to an unprecedented
degree today. Empowered by digital technology, consumers are using their smartphones,
tablets and other devices to gather information and share opinions about companies with
one another and with the world at large. This global inter-connection has led consumers
to expect higher value and lower prices, while accelerating competition and innovation.
Given the talent shortage and today’s connected workplace, high-value individuals have
greater freedom to set the terms of their employment and choose where, when, and how
they want to work. The transparency enabled by social media gives candidates more
options and an unfiltered look at jobs and companies they are considering.
Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 5
Technological Innovation.
For the first time, individuals can access a vast amount of
information instantly from virtually anywhere. Technology
is spawning new business models, and organizations are
becoming less hierarchical and more fragmented. Talent
is dispersed geographically but connected digitally and
the “walls” of the company have become permeable and
flexible. Combining talent and technology, and making
the right decisions about insourcing, outsourcing, and
collaboration will require innovative leadership ideas.
Many existing leadership models were developed for times when
business conditions were more stable, when growth followed
predictable patterns, when producers had more power than
consumers to shape markets, and when the employer-employee
relationship was a one-way street. Today, business is radically
different, and companies need a new set of criteria by which to
identify and prepare leaders to navigate the challenges, risks and
opportunities ahead. At Right Management, we believe there is a
model that can help organizations better predict which individuals will
be effective in a world of certain uncertainty and help them succeed.
What is the
Human Age?
The Human
Age signifies a
new reality for business –
one in which the ability to
optimize human potential
is the single most
important determinant of
organizational success
and growth. Talent, not
capital, is the meaningful
economic differentiator
and those with high-
demand skills will be
the scarcest “natural
resource” in the years
ahead. To ensure their
companies are premier
talent destinations,
forward-thinking leaders
are creating workforce
strategies to gain a
competitive advantage
in identifying, managing,
and developing
talent.
6 Most Likely to Lead
The model has deep roots in ManpowerGroup’s six decades
of workforce expertise. Every day, we help more
than 400,000 clients in 80 countries and
territories address their critical talent
needs, providing comprehensive solutions to resource,
manage and develop talent. Building on this experience, the
development team spent months:
Right Management was also determined to develop a
methodology that is practical for businesses to use. We’ve seen
too many organizations struggle with, and ultimately abandon,
leadership models that prescribe a lengthy and complex list of
requirements that prove too difficult, costly, and time-consuming
to complete. Instead, we relentlessly refined our
model to arrive at a highly focused set
of “ingredients” – not too many, and none exotic –
that enables organizations to realize maximum
business impact with a realistic investment of resources.
The Right Management
P3 Leader Model
represents our point
of view on what
organizations need to do
to position their leaders
to operate successfully
in uncertain and dynamic
markets. It provides
a systematic way for
organizations to build
strong leadership pipelines
by identifying talent with
the greatest potential for
success, helping them
develop a focused set of
capabilities, and managing
their performance by
measuring and rewarding
relevant outcomes.

eader modelP3
Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 7
Our thinking about the model began with the end-state — the outcomes. In order to be
relevant in dynamic business environments, goals must focus on results that add value
in the Human Age. Most notably, the organization has to ensure that
the right talent is in place to enable meet its business
objectives. High-demand talent today is intent on building a “career for me” versus
a “career for life” (for more information on the “career for me” employee, go to www. right.
com/careersmatter) and requires a new type of leadership.
Leaders today need to think beyond traditional business
performance metrics and work equally hard towards
achieving talent-driven objectives such as greater diversity, a shared
sense of purpose, and meaningful career development opportunities and resources.
That shift in purpose, in turn, requires a fresh look at the inherent personal attributes
(Enablers) and coachable leadership skills (Capabilities) to equip leaders to be most
effective in the Human Age.
Our goal in developing the P3 Leader Model is to provide organizations with an efficient
system to guide the selection and development of leaders, and a framework to measure
their impact on individual employees and the organization as a whole.
Let’s look at each component in more detail.
Effective Leadership Outcomes — Talent is the most valuable asset in
business today and leadership performance metrics must expand to recognize
this new reality. Measuring a leader’s impact on talent-focused outcomes – such
as helping employees realize their potential, grow their careers, and contribute
meaningfully to the organization – is just as critical as evaluating financial metrics.
Effective Leadership Enablers — Assessing talent against inherent personal
attributes is a critical step in the methodology. The stronger the individual is
with the enablers, the greater the potential to thrive in leadership roles, given
appropriate development and support.
Effective Leadership Capabilities — Nurturing a narrow set of leadership
capabilities will help organizations focus their developmental resources and money
in the areas most likely to provide the greatest return in organizational performance.
The model has three components:

10 Most Likely to Lead
Winning Leadership OUTCOMES:
Establishing Meaningful KPIs
Individual and Organizational
Sense of Purpose
Employees today want a clear understanding of how their everyday
work activities align to the organization’s mission and strategic
goals. When leaders provide insight into the
purpose and value of employee contributions,
it helps to foster a sense of personal empowerment and
accountability in helping the organization succeed.
This is particularly critical when businesses have heavily matrixed
organizational structures and/or rely on individual contributors.
Communicating a sense of purpose is not a single event; it is a
continuous process that requires two-way dialogue so employees
can personalize the corporate vision and innovate through shared
understanding. Taken superficially, communicating vision can
sound passive. Done effectively, it is tremendously energizing and
effective at driving business performance.
Increased Level of Engagement
In the Human Age, talent is a key source of
sustainable advantage making employee engagement
a key measure of the organization’s ability to compete. Research2
shows that effective leaders make it a priority to:
•	 Retain top talent in the organization
•	 Create an empowered and involved workforce
•	 Align compensation programs with talent strategies
•	 Build a strong employment brand for the organization
2
Engagement Study, Right Management, 2008.
One way to assess leadership
effectiveness is to look at business
performance based on quantifiable
financially-based metrics such
as sales revenue and gross
margin. But organizations
would benefit from
also considering
talent-focused Key
Performance Indicators
(KPIs) when evaluating leadership
impact. In developing the Right
Management P3 Leader Model,
we chose four measures that
speak to a leader’s ability to build
a talent-driven organization that
is primed to achieve and sustain
high performance in today’s
business environment in addition
to traditional metrics for business
performance. The talent-
focused metrics your
organization chooses
should reflect the
culture and outcomes
unique to your
business.

Management, 2014
Meaningful Career Management
It’s critical for leaders to recognize the new reality of “career for
me” and ensure the organization makes the shift – strategically
and operationally – from being job providers to being career
enablers. Effective leaders understand that the
employer-employee relationship has to be a
mutually beneficial alliance so they build a culture that
encourages personal and professional growth. In our view, attributes
of an effective leader include:
•	 Providing employees with opportunities to broaden their skills and
knowledge, thus increasing their value and employability
•	 Ensuring that managers are capable of having meaningful career
conversations with employees and are held accountable
•	 Developing functional and enterprise-wide career models, with agile
career pathways
•	 Integrating a wide range of developmental resources, including
person-to-person collaboration and technology-enabled learning
Leaders who embed career development into
their people management process significantly increase employee
engagement3
and research shows a pay-off in improved
business performance.
A More Humane
Organizational Culture
With technology driving business toward being more fragmented,
fast-paced and impersonal, it is important to be deliberate about
creating an organizational culture that values and demands respect
for individual concerns, ambitions, challenges, and working styles.
Right Management research shows that more employees define
success in the workplace as the level of their enjoyment and happiness
than the size of their paycheck.5
Effective leadership
is about creating a people-oriented culture
that incorporates humanistic values such as
respect, trust, diversity, and transparency.
It's also critical that leaders demonstrate the values and mission
established by the organization, investing in their communities both
financially and through participation and engagement in the community.
When leaders ensure that the organization is meaningfully engaged in
supporting the well-being of its employees, individuals are motivated to
do their best work—which translates into better business results.

12 Most Likely to Lead
Assessing Leadership ENABLERS:
Predicting Future Success
Leadership Enablers
are inherent attributes of an
individual that, when present,
can help predict
future success and
lay the groundwork for the
development of leadership
capabilities. In
assessing for these traits,
you are essentially putting the
individual’s leadership DNA
under the microscope. Enablers
are what the person is, how she
is hard-wired, and not what she
does or says.
Based on our experience and research,
including discussions with more than 400 leaders in 2015, Right
Management has identified these four Enablers
as being particularly predictive of individuals with the personality
traits to manage the leadership challenges of
the Human Age:
Brightness
Bright individuals are intellectually curious and have strong
appetites for continuous learning. They are sharp and have the
cognitive ability to quickly grasp the meaning of an idea or event
and its importance to the business. Brightness is not intellectualism
nor measured by the number of educational and professional
degrees the person has. In fact, it’s not related to formal education
at all. Bright leaders are marked by active
intelligence that seeks to know more
about the world from a variety of sources
-- always asking “what if?” They are constant learners, seeking the
opinions of others, and synthesizing and prioritizing information to
understand what’s at stake and take action.
Drive
Drive is the hunger, energy, and desire to achieve high
performance. Delivering on expectations is a priority for people
with Drive. They want to be successful for the organization and
for themselves. Drive should not be confused with ambition.
Ambitious leaders value advancement and status; leaders
with Drive consistently apply the energy
to achieve their goals. Leaders with Drive are often
described as having a “fire in the belly” to bring their vision to life.
If ambition is desire, then Drive is action.
people: purpose: performance
eader modelP3
Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 13
Adaptability
Adaptable leaders are comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty. The ability to
handle all three conditions is critical. Presented with conflicting information and unclear choices,
adaptable leaders avoid paralysis and make decisions. They are comfortable
navigating through confusing scenarios, gathering information
and trusting their judgement. Adaptable leaders don’t need certainty to act; they
accept reasonable risk, confident in their ability to change course as needed. In short, adaptable
individuals are uniquely suited to lead businesses in times of “certain uncertainty” when market
changes and challenges are difficult to predict but sure to occur.
Endurance
Leadership is a tough job. Individuals with endurance have a high degree of stamina – both
emotional and intellectual – that enables them to be tenacious and resilient. They are consistently
high performers over time and across multiple leadership scenarios. They remain
steadfast through challenging times and conditions, and
bounce back from failure. Like marathon runners, they understand that peaks
and valleys will occur on the way to the goal and managing through them is the only road to
success. For them, the journey is fun and stimulating.
The degree to which a person is assessed positively on these four enablers
can help predict his or her likelihood of success in developing
leadership capabilities and realizing desired outcomes.
Conversely, if the evaluation reveals low scores on all four, it’s going to be a tough journey
to lead in a dynamic market environment. Enablers can be enhanced in a person, but if
a trait is not already present to some degree, it will be difficult to develop. For example,
attributes like intellectual curiosity and drive are not really teachable.
In our experience, few leaders are equally strong in all areas. Assessing for
enablers can be of value in revealing potential problem
areas where leaders could benefit from learning compensation strategies.
14 Most Likely to Lead
Capabilities are the
actions a leader takes
to help the organization
succeed. In contrast to
Enablers, they are highly teachable.
The core capabilities within the
Right Management P3 Leader
Model are focused squarely on
accelerating an organization’s ability
to compete and win in a global
marketplace characterized by
significant opportunities and risks.
To be effective today,
leaders must:
•	 Accelerate Performance
•	 Dare to Lead
•	 Unleash Talent
Developing Leadership CAPABILITIES:
Nurturing talent-focused skills
While each capability overlays a deeper skill-set, there
are only three in total. This is a deliberate choice,
since we have seen many organizations struggle to integrate
a high number of capabilities (often, five, six, seven or more)
into their leadership development programs. Our leaner
set of capabilities is a more practical
approach that can help organizations:
Focus developmental resources and time on a few vital
macro-capabilities rather than an exhaustive list of skills
Foster easy understanding and better retention of key
capabilities so they become embedded within the
leadership ethos
Reduce time to value by simplifying education and
communication efforts

Moving a
business
forward in the 21st
century relates much
more to HOW leaders
do things – their soft
skills –than to their
knowledge, expertise
and experience. This
is true at all levels –
C-suite, executive
level, middle
management.
Accelerate Performance
Leadership performance is an individual effort with company-wide
consequences, and the organization is more likely to perform at its best
when a leader develops the skills to:
•	 Provide a shared vision for transformation
Effective leadership is about articulating a vision – one that gives
employees the “why” behind their contributions, engages their minds
and hearts, and unites their efforts toward a common goal.
•	 Navigate both a short- and long-term agenda
Achieving sustained performance requires leaders who can balance
near-term revenue and cost concerns with longer-term strategies for
business development.
•	 Balance global consistency and local
relevance ­— Effective leaders ensure the business operates from
a consistent set of strategies while enabling the flexibility to adapt to
local needs and cultures.
•	 Inspire and mobilize the organization in
transformation ­— Improving employee engagement is the key
to creating a more competitive organization, and it starts at the top.
Effective leaders help employees buy into the company’s direction.
They understand the significance of their role in helping the company
reach its goals.
•	 Collaborate transversally ­— Increasingly, work gets done
by sharing ideas across disciplines, across time zones, across cultures,
and across companies. Leaders set the tone for enabling that level of
collaboration.
•	 Build high performing teams ­— Individual performance is
necessary but not sufficient to drive organizational performance. Leaders
need to address underperformance of teams and create the conditions
for the different teams to perform.
•	 Build organizational capability ­— Leaders need to insist
on an infrastructure with appropriate systems, resources and processes
in place to achieve strategic goals.

and Author
Leaders can’t
copy-and-
paste the capabilities
that enabled them to
succeed in the past.
They need to
keep evolving.
Dare to Lead
Great leaders have the courage to make decisions, take risks, and seize
opportunities. Their self-confidence is why others admire and follow them.
On the other end of the spectrum, leadership that seeks only to maintain
or marginally improve the operational status quo is simply treading water.
When the competition makes waves, an organization helmed by fearful
leaders will go under. Today’s fast-changing business environment requires
bold, adaptable leaders who are willing to make reasoned yet risky decisions
when necessary to achieve strategic goals. Leaders need to learn how to:
•	 Make courageous decisions ­— It’s been said that
leaders, like symphony conductors, have to turn their backs to the
crowd in order to do the job. Leaders need the self-confidence to
propose untested strategies, such as entering unfamiliar markets,
or change long-standing cultural norms in the pursuit of positive
transformation. They work for success, not applause.
•	 Dare to take risks and seize opportunities ­—
Effective leaders take calculated risks. They accept that speed is more
important than “the perfect decision” and that capitalizing on a rapidly-
closing window of opportunity may require committing to a path
without full certainty of the consequences.
•	 Challenge authority constructively ­— Leaders at
all levels in an organization need to solicit, to provide, and to accept
constructive feedback and pushback. When no one is willing to speak
truth to power, the risk of going off course or missing opportunities is high.
•	 Foster and reward innovation ­— Effective leaders are
willing to experiment and learn from their mistakes in the pursuit of
innovation – and they create a culture that gives that same freedom to
employees. They inspire and reward innovative ideas and accept well-
intentional failures as the price of moving forward.
•	 Change their approach when warranted —
Managing human capital today is far different that it was ten or even
five years ago. Technological innovation, the rise of the portfolio
employee, and the flattening and globalization of corporate structures
are just a few of the trends that require leaders to evolve their approach
to managing talent.
•	 Show self-confidence — In the midst of rapidly changing
and complex business conditions, a company’s culture represents the
only stable platform for employees. It is critical for leaders to demonstrate
confidence, consistency and unwavering purpose even in uncertain times.

Effective
leaders align
the organization to
one red thread in
terms of strategy
and execution, while
giving individuals the
flexibility to contribute
and grow
meaningfully.
Unleash Talent
A leader’s skill in creating and nurturing a culture that attracts, engages,
and retains top talent is critical to success in the Human Age. Even
the best-laid corporate strategies will be stymied if the organization is
unable to find the right talent and fully tap its potential. Given the market
dynamics at work -- shrinking talent pools, technology innovation,
widening skills mismatch, greater worker mobility, and increasing global
competition for talent -- this imperative grows in urgency and complexity.
The organization is in a better position to fully unleash its talent when a
leader learns how to:
•	 Demonstrate integrity ­— As organization become more
collaborative, internally and externally, it’s important for leaders to
model the transparency and mutual respect that should characterize
all working relationships.
•	 Build trust ­— Employees need to have confidence that leaders
are making decisions based on the goals of the enterprise, not on their
personal or siloed interests.
•	 Show selflessness, putting “we” before “I” ­—
Leaders work for the common good and put organizational success
ahead of their own.
•	 Ask for, give, receive, and act upon feedback
­— Effective leaders seek different perspectives and viewpoints,
knowing that others’ opinions may be more relevant or will enrich their
own understanding.
•	 Create opportunities for others to grow and
have meaningful careers — Research shows that two-
thirds of the drivers behind employee performance and engagement
are tied to career development opportunities. Effective leaders are
proactive, visible proponents of individual career development and
invest time and energy in creating people management practices that
enable employees to improve their skills portfolios and marketability.
18 Most Likely to Lead
The Right Management P3 Leader Model is a framework that organizations can
use to support leadership development in a number of ways:
Identify talent with with greater potential for leadership
effectiveness by assessing for traits that are common to successful leaders.
Focus development time and resources on nurturing capabilities
that will empower your leaders to navigate the “certain uncertainty” of business in the Human Age.
Create a new leadership culture in which hiring, management, and developmental
practices are aligned and work together to create a pipeline of first-rate leaders
at all levels.
Make leaders accountable for outcomes like high employee engagement
and meaningful career management that have been shown to significantly impact
profitability, productivity, and growth.
Realize a greater return on investment from leadership development
and faster time to value.

Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 3 Are your leaders prepared to drive performance in today’s dynamic and uncertain business climate? Do they have both the traits and capabilities to overcome challenges? Is your organization looking at outcomes that measure leadership effectiveness which leads to sustainable performance? The truth is, the world is awash in leadership models but the results continue to disappoint: INTRODUCTION Existing methods of identifying, and developing leaders are not working as they should. The world of work is changing significantly, creating a gap between traditional ideas of leadership effectiveness and what it actually takes to drive business performance in the Human Age. Our approach differs from existing models in three key ways: outcomes are defined not only in financial terms but also in metrics that measure the impact on human motivation; inherent enablers are aligned to the challenge of leading in times of certain uncertainty; and, coachable capabilities are narrowed to those that matter most to deliver the desired outcomes. Only of managers identified as high performers successfully advance to higher levels of leadership. 20% Source: How to Unleash the High Potential Talent in Your Organization, Right Management 2014 Only of senior executives and human capital managers believe their organizations have ample leadership pipelines. 13% Source: Talent Management: Accelerating Business Performance.

  • 4. 4 Most Likely to Lead What led us to this model? 1 Talent Management Survey, Manpower Group We began with how business and markets are changing. We see four major transformational trends in the workplace that directly impact leadership: Demographics / Talent Mismatch. Due to demographic and societal shifts, companies are struggling to find people with the precise skills or combination of skills they need. In 2015, over one-third of employers worldwide said they were having trouble filling positions due to lack of suitable talent.1 As the global demand for highly skilled labor continues to grow, leaders will need to align their talent strategies with their business strategies to ensure that they have the right people in place, and rethink old assumptions about work models, people practices and talent sources. Certain Uncertainty. In the Human Age, companies can no longer count on maintaining a sustainable competitive advantage. To thrive in today’s ever-changing, global environment, organizations must be agile in order to anticipate and respond to the constantly evolving economic, demographic, and technological forces that are reshaping the world. In these periods of sustained uncertainty, business leaders need to take decisive action based on strong principles. Yet too many react defensively and irrationally or become paralyzed by the turmoil. As a result, organizations become less nimble, employee engagement drops, and productivity falls. To adapt to the unprecedented mix of changes impacting business today, organizations need adaptive, agile and courageous leaders who are comfortable navigating risk; passionate about investing in skill building opportunities for their employees; and, innovative in the way they leverage talent to stay competitive. Resegmentation of Markets. The voice of the consumer is shaping products and services to an unprecedented degree today. Empowered by digital technology, consumers are using their smartphones, tablets and other devices to gather information and share opinions about companies with one another and with the world at large. This global inter-connection has led consumers to expect higher value and lower prices, while accelerating competition and innovation. Given the talent shortage and today’s connected workplace, high-value individuals have greater freedom to set the terms of their employment and choose where, when, and how they want to work. The transparency enabled by social media gives candidates more options and an unfiltered look at jobs and companies they are considering.
  • 5. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 5 Technological Innovation. For the first time, individuals can access a vast amount of information instantly from virtually anywhere. Technology is spawning new business models, and organizations are becoming less hierarchical and more fragmented. Talent is dispersed geographically but connected digitally and the “walls” of the company have become permeable and flexible. Combining talent and technology, and making the right decisions about insourcing, outsourcing, and collaboration will require innovative leadership ideas. Many existing leadership models were developed for times when business conditions were more stable, when growth followed predictable patterns, when producers had more power than consumers to shape markets, and when the employer-employee relationship was a one-way street. Today, business is radically different, and companies need a new set of criteria by which to identify and prepare leaders to navigate the challenges, risks and opportunities ahead. At Right Management, we believe there is a model that can help organizations better predict which individuals will be effective in a world of certain uncertainty and help them succeed. What is the Human Age? The Human Age signifies a new reality for business – one in which the ability to optimize human potential is the single most important determinant of organizational success and growth. Talent, not capital, is the meaningful economic differentiator and those with high- demand skills will be the scarcest “natural resource” in the years ahead. To ensure their companies are premier talent destinations, forward-thinking leaders are creating workforce strategies to gain a competitive advantage in identifying, managing, and developing talent.
  • 6. 6 Most Likely to Lead The model has deep roots in ManpowerGroup’s six decades of workforce expertise. Every day, we help more than 400,000 clients in 80 countries and territories address their critical talent needs, providing comprehensive solutions to resource, manage and develop talent. Building on this experience, the development team spent months: Right Management was also determined to develop a methodology that is practical for businesses to use. We’ve seen too many organizations struggle with, and ultimately abandon, leadership models that prescribe a lengthy and complex list of requirements that prove too difficult, costly, and time-consuming to complete. Instead, we relentlessly refined our model to arrive at a highly focused set of “ingredients” – not too many, and none exotic – that enables organizations to realize maximum business impact with a realistic investment of resources. The Right Management P3 Leader Model represents our point of view on what organizations need to do to position their leaders to operate successfully in uncertain and dynamic markets. It provides a systematic way for organizations to build strong leadership pipelines by identifying talent with the greatest potential for success, helping them develop a focused set of capabilities, and managing their performance by measuring and rewarding relevant outcomes. Researching and analyzing the macro-economic trends impacting business today Interviewing experts and thought leaders from business and academia to gain their insights into talent assessment and development Surveying more than 400 business leaders – from senior executives to middle managers – to learn which trends are most relevant to their organizations and what they consider to be most important components of leadership people: purpose: performance eader modelP3
  • 7. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 7 Our thinking about the model began with the end-state — the outcomes. In order to be relevant in dynamic business environments, goals must focus on results that add value in the Human Age. Most notably, the organization has to ensure that the right talent is in place to enable meet its business objectives. High-demand talent today is intent on building a “career for me” versus a “career for life” (for more information on the “career for me” employee, go to www. right. com/careersmatter) and requires a new type of leadership. Leaders today need to think beyond traditional business performance metrics and work equally hard towards achieving talent-driven objectives such as greater diversity, a shared sense of purpose, and meaningful career development opportunities and resources. That shift in purpose, in turn, requires a fresh look at the inherent personal attributes (Enablers) and coachable leadership skills (Capabilities) to equip leaders to be most effective in the Human Age. Our goal in developing the P3 Leader Model is to provide organizations with an efficient system to guide the selection and development of leaders, and a framework to measure their impact on individual employees and the organization as a whole. Let’s look at each component in more detail. Effective Leadership Outcomes — Talent is the most valuable asset in business today and leadership performance metrics must expand to recognize this new reality. Measuring a leader’s impact on talent-focused outcomes – such as helping employees realize their potential, grow their careers, and contribute meaningfully to the organization – is just as critical as evaluating financial metrics. Effective Leadership Enablers — Assessing talent against inherent personal attributes is a critical step in the methodology. The stronger the individual is with the enablers, the greater the potential to thrive in leadership roles, given appropriate development and support. Effective Leadership Capabilities — Nurturing a narrow set of leadership capabilities will help organizations focus their developmental resources and money in the areas most likely to provide the greatest return in organizational performance. The model has three components:

  • 10. 10 Most Likely to Lead Winning Leadership OUTCOMES: Establishing Meaningful KPIs Individual and Organizational Sense of Purpose Employees today want a clear understanding of how their everyday work activities align to the organization’s mission and strategic goals. When leaders provide insight into the purpose and value of employee contributions, it helps to foster a sense of personal empowerment and accountability in helping the organization succeed. This is particularly critical when businesses have heavily matrixed organizational structures and/or rely on individual contributors. Communicating a sense of purpose is not a single event; it is a continuous process that requires two-way dialogue so employees can personalize the corporate vision and innovate through shared understanding. Taken superficially, communicating vision can sound passive. Done effectively, it is tremendously energizing and effective at driving business performance. Increased Level of Engagement In the Human Age, talent is a key source of sustainable advantage making employee engagement a key measure of the organization’s ability to compete. Research2 shows that effective leaders make it a priority to: • Retain top talent in the organization • Create an empowered and involved workforce • Align compensation programs with talent strategies • Build a strong employment brand for the organization 2 Engagement Study, Right Management, 2008. One way to assess leadership effectiveness is to look at business performance based on quantifiable financially-based metrics such as sales revenue and gross margin. But organizations would benefit from also considering talent-focused Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) when evaluating leadership impact. In developing the Right Management P3 Leader Model, we chose four measures that speak to a leader’s ability to build a talent-driven organization that is primed to achieve and sustain high performance in today’s business environment in addition to traditional metrics for business performance. The talent- focused metrics your organization chooses should reflect the culture and outcomes unique to your business. people: purpose: performance eader modelP3
  • 11. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 11 3 Australia Career Study, Right Management, 2012 4 How Employee Engagement Drives Business Success, Chief Executive, 2011, http://chiefexecutive.net/how- employee-engagement-drives-business- success/ 5 Global Career Aspiration Survey, Right Management, 2014 Meaningful Career Management It’s critical for leaders to recognize the new reality of “career for me” and ensure the organization makes the shift – strategically and operationally – from being job providers to being career enablers. Effective leaders understand that the employer-employee relationship has to be a mutually beneficial alliance so they build a culture that encourages personal and professional growth. In our view, attributes of an effective leader include: • Providing employees with opportunities to broaden their skills and knowledge, thus increasing their value and employability • Ensuring that managers are capable of having meaningful career conversations with employees and are held accountable • Developing functional and enterprise-wide career models, with agile career pathways • Integrating a wide range of developmental resources, including person-to-person collaboration and technology-enabled learning Leaders who embed career development into their people management process significantly increase employee engagement3 and research shows a pay-off in improved business performance. A More Humane Organizational Culture With technology driving business toward being more fragmented, fast-paced and impersonal, it is important to be deliberate about creating an organizational culture that values and demands respect for individual concerns, ambitions, challenges, and working styles. Right Management research shows that more employees define success in the workplace as the level of their enjoyment and happiness than the size of their paycheck.5 Effective leadership is about creating a people-oriented culture that incorporates humanistic values such as respect, trust, diversity, and transparency. It's also critical that leaders demonstrate the values and mission established by the organization, investing in their communities both financially and through participation and engagement in the community. When leaders ensure that the organization is meaningfully engaged in supporting the well-being of its employees, individuals are motivated to do their best work—which translates into better business results. How Employee Engagement Drives Business Success Chief Executive magazine in 2011 In a Towers Watson study of 50 companies over a one-year period, organizations with high employee engagement had a 19 percent increase in operating income and nearly 28 percent growth in earnings per share (EPS). Conversely, companies with low levels of engagement saw operating income drop more than 32 percent and EPS decline 11 percent.4
  • 12. 12 Most Likely to Lead Assessing Leadership ENABLERS: Predicting Future Success Leadership Enablers are inherent attributes of an individual that, when present, can help predict future success and lay the groundwork for the development of leadership capabilities. In assessing for these traits, you are essentially putting the individual’s leadership DNA under the microscope. Enablers are what the person is, how she is hard-wired, and not what she does or says. Based on our experience and research, including discussions with more than 400 leaders in 2015, Right Management has identified these four Enablers as being particularly predictive of individuals with the personality traits to manage the leadership challenges of the Human Age: Brightness Bright individuals are intellectually curious and have strong appetites for continuous learning. They are sharp and have the cognitive ability to quickly grasp the meaning of an idea or event and its importance to the business. Brightness is not intellectualism nor measured by the number of educational and professional degrees the person has. In fact, it’s not related to formal education at all. Bright leaders are marked by active intelligence that seeks to know more about the world from a variety of sources -- always asking “what if?” They are constant learners, seeking the opinions of others, and synthesizing and prioritizing information to understand what’s at stake and take action. Drive Drive is the hunger, energy, and desire to achieve high performance. Delivering on expectations is a priority for people with Drive. They want to be successful for the organization and for themselves. Drive should not be confused with ambition. Ambitious leaders value advancement and status; leaders with Drive consistently apply the energy to achieve their goals. Leaders with Drive are often described as having a “fire in the belly” to bring their vision to life. If ambition is desire, then Drive is action. people: purpose: performance eader modelP3
  • 13. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 13 Adaptability Adaptable leaders are comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty. The ability to handle all three conditions is critical. Presented with conflicting information and unclear choices, adaptable leaders avoid paralysis and make decisions. They are comfortable navigating through confusing scenarios, gathering information and trusting their judgement. Adaptable leaders don’t need certainty to act; they accept reasonable risk, confident in their ability to change course as needed. In short, adaptable individuals are uniquely suited to lead businesses in times of “certain uncertainty” when market changes and challenges are difficult to predict but sure to occur. Endurance Leadership is a tough job. Individuals with endurance have a high degree of stamina – both emotional and intellectual – that enables them to be tenacious and resilient. They are consistently high performers over time and across multiple leadership scenarios. They remain steadfast through challenging times and conditions, and bounce back from failure. Like marathon runners, they understand that peaks and valleys will occur on the way to the goal and managing through them is the only road to success. For them, the journey is fun and stimulating. The degree to which a person is assessed positively on these four enablers can help predict his or her likelihood of success in developing leadership capabilities and realizing desired outcomes. Conversely, if the evaluation reveals low scores on all four, it’s going to be a tough journey to lead in a dynamic market environment. Enablers can be enhanced in a person, but if a trait is not already present to some degree, it will be difficult to develop. For example, attributes like intellectual curiosity and drive are not really teachable. In our experience, few leaders are equally strong in all areas. Assessing for enablers can be of value in revealing potential problem areas where leaders could benefit from learning compensation strategies.
  • 14. 14 Most Likely to Lead Capabilities are the actions a leader takes to help the organization succeed. In contrast to Enablers, they are highly teachable. The core capabilities within the Right Management P3 Leader Model are focused squarely on accelerating an organization’s ability to compete and win in a global marketplace characterized by significant opportunities and risks. To be effective today, leaders must: • Accelerate Performance • Dare to Lead • Unleash Talent Developing Leadership CAPABILITIES: Nurturing talent-focused skills While each capability overlays a deeper skill-set, there are only three in total. This is a deliberate choice, since we have seen many organizations struggle to integrate a high number of capabilities (often, five, six, seven or more) into their leadership development programs. Our leaner set of capabilities is a more practical approach that can help organizations: Focus developmental resources and time on a few vital macro-capabilities rather than an exhaustive list of skills Foster easy understanding and better retention of key capabilities so they become embedded within the leadership ethos Reduce time to value by simplifying education and communication efforts people: purpose: performance eader modelP3
  • 15. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 15 Jonas Prising, Chairman & CEO, ManpowerGroup Moving a business forward in the 21st century relates much more to HOW leaders do things – their soft skills –than to their knowledge, expertise and experience. This is true at all levels – C-suite, executive level, middle management. Accelerate Performance Leadership performance is an individual effort with company-wide consequences, and the organization is more likely to perform at its best when a leader develops the skills to: • Provide a shared vision for transformation Effective leadership is about articulating a vision – one that gives employees the “why” behind their contributions, engages their minds and hearts, and unites their efforts toward a common goal. • Navigate both a short- and long-term agenda Achieving sustained performance requires leaders who can balance near-term revenue and cost concerns with longer-term strategies for business development. • Balance global consistency and local relevance ­— Effective leaders ensure the business operates from a consistent set of strategies while enabling the flexibility to adapt to local needs and cultures. • Inspire and mobilize the organization in transformation ­— Improving employee engagement is the key to creating a more competitive organization, and it starts at the top. Effective leaders help employees buy into the company’s direction. They understand the significance of their role in helping the company reach its goals. • Collaborate transversally ­— Increasingly, work gets done by sharing ideas across disciplines, across time zones, across cultures, and across companies. Leaders set the tone for enabling that level of collaboration. • Build high performing teams ­— Individual performance is necessary but not sufficient to drive organizational performance. Leaders need to address underperformance of teams and create the conditions for the different teams to perform. • Build organizational capability ­— Leaders need to insist on an infrastructure with appropriate systems, resources and processes in place to achieve strategic goals.
  • 16. 16 Most Likely to Lead Libby Sartain, HR Consultant and Author Leaders can’t copy-and- paste the capabilities that enabled them to succeed in the past. They need to keep evolving. Dare to Lead Great leaders have the courage to make decisions, take risks, and seize opportunities. Their self-confidence is why others admire and follow them. On the other end of the spectrum, leadership that seeks only to maintain or marginally improve the operational status quo is simply treading water. When the competition makes waves, an organization helmed by fearful leaders will go under. Today’s fast-changing business environment requires bold, adaptable leaders who are willing to make reasoned yet risky decisions when necessary to achieve strategic goals. Leaders need to learn how to: • Make courageous decisions ­— It’s been said that leaders, like symphony conductors, have to turn their backs to the crowd in order to do the job. Leaders need the self-confidence to propose untested strategies, such as entering unfamiliar markets, or change long-standing cultural norms in the pursuit of positive transformation. They work for success, not applause. • Dare to take risks and seize opportunities ­— Effective leaders take calculated risks. They accept that speed is more important than “the perfect decision” and that capitalizing on a rapidly- closing window of opportunity may require committing to a path without full certainty of the consequences. • Challenge authority constructively ­— Leaders at all levels in an organization need to solicit, to provide, and to accept constructive feedback and pushback. When no one is willing to speak truth to power, the risk of going off course or missing opportunities is high. • Foster and reward innovation ­— Effective leaders are willing to experiment and learn from their mistakes in the pursuit of innovation – and they create a culture that gives that same freedom to employees. They inspire and reward innovative ideas and accept well- intentional failures as the price of moving forward. • Change their approach when warranted — Managing human capital today is far different that it was ten or even five years ago. Technological innovation, the rise of the portfolio employee, and the flattening and globalization of corporate structures are just a few of the trends that require leaders to evolve their approach to managing talent. • Show self-confidence — In the midst of rapidly changing and complex business conditions, a company’s culture represents the only stable platform for employees. It is critical for leaders to demonstrate confidence, consistency and unwavering purpose even in uncertain times.
  • 17. Start investing in the right people. Predicting, Developing, and Measuring Leadership Effectiveness in the Human Age. 17 Mara Swan, Executive Vice President, Global Strategy and Talent, ManpowerGroup Effective leaders align the organization to one red thread in terms of strategy and execution, while giving individuals the flexibility to contribute and grow meaningfully. Unleash Talent A leader’s skill in creating and nurturing a culture that attracts, engages, and retains top talent is critical to success in the Human Age. Even the best-laid corporate strategies will be stymied if the organization is unable to find the right talent and fully tap its potential. Given the market dynamics at work -- shrinking talent pools, technology innovation, widening skills mismatch, greater worker mobility, and increasing global competition for talent -- this imperative grows in urgency and complexity. The organization is in a better position to fully unleash its talent when a leader learns how to: • Demonstrate integrity ­— As organization become more collaborative, internally and externally, it’s important for leaders to model the transparency and mutual respect that should characterize all working relationships. • Build trust ­— Employees need to have confidence that leaders are making decisions based on the goals of the enterprise, not on their personal or siloed interests. • Show selflessness, putting “we” before “I” ­— Leaders work for the common good and put organizational success ahead of their own. • Ask for, give, receive, and act upon feedback ­— Effective leaders seek different perspectives and viewpoints, knowing that others’ opinions may be more relevant or will enrich their own understanding. • Create opportunities for others to grow and have meaningful careers — Research shows that two- thirds of the drivers behind employee performance and engagement are tied to career development opportunities. Effective leaders are proactive, visible proponents of individual career development and invest time and energy in creating people management practices that enable employees to improve their skills portfolios and marketability.
