Putting It Into Practice

Brian is an excellent manager and strategic thinker; most of his tasks come naturally to him. However, he constantly struggles and spends an inordinate amount of time managing the budgeting process, one of his current job responsibilities.

Katrina, one of the supervisors working for Brian, is a wonderful implementer. If you give her a direction to follow, she will ensure that all of the details are handled. She also loves to work on the budget, but unfortunately, her current job description requires her to do a lot of strategic thinking, something she finds exhausting.

After completing the WorkPlace Big Five, Brian and Katrina realized that by making a few adjustments to their current roles and responsibilities, they could become significantly more productive and effective. Consequently, Brian and Katrina began to work together, restructuring their roles so that the majority of their time is spent working on projects that emphasize their strengths. Brian still has ownership of the budgeting process and Katrina still has ownership of the strategic planning process; however, they leverage each other’s strengths to increase the efficiency of the department.

Improving Individual and Organizational Effectiveness

Evoke Development's goal is to help individuals and departments become as productive as they can be by focusing on developing an individual's strengths rather than weaknesses.

We encourage individuals to develop job competence and an occupational identity; as well as provide guidance and support to staff members who feel overwhelmed by assigned tasks.

Evoke Development helps you optimize staff performance by focusing on enhancing job-person fit, the point at which the growth and development of an individual meets the demands of the organization. Because, if an individual is more committed to the job than they are challenged by the job, they will become bored. Equally so, if the demands of the job are greater than the individual’s ability or commitment, he/she will constantly worry or be anxious. Ideally, work demands equal the skills of the staff member.

Evoke Development can help your organization:

• Identify core competencies by conducting task and job analysis.
• Develop strategies to communicate competencies to all levels of the organization.
• Implement performance initiative and training opportunities around the identified competencies.
• Create metrics to measure performance levels associated with competencies.
