Managing Behaviour for Improved Performance
21 May 2009 | 1400 - 1630 | SHRI @ The Verge, Room 2
There should a truly collaborative approach between HR and the line
managers to achieve results in most, if not all
organisations.
"Corporate Culture" concerns how things are done.
"Corporate Climate" very much reflects the people dimension of
an
organisation
in terms of what they feel it is like to work there, resulting in how
people behave and how they perform.
The speaker will present a simple framework, the Glowinkowski
Integrated Framework, on how leaders could, through their
behaviour, create a climate which, in turn, drives the performance of
the organisation they manage by fundamentally impacting the behaviour of
the people for whom they are accountable. The territory of personality
will also be explored in terms of "Predispositions" and the speaker will
explain why organisations require people to deliver certain specific
behaviours rather than their underlying personality.
Speakers' Profile
Steve Glowinkowski
BSc (Hons), MA, PhD, C.Psychol, FRSA, Founder and Principal Consultant
Steve’s early
academic career was in the fields of
organisational
psychology, management and statistics. Steve is a Chartered Psychologist
and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Steve’s commercial
background involved over ten years’ experience in a series of internal
consultancy, managerial and director roles within the chemical industry
and the financial services sector. The majority of this work related to
the delivery of major
organisational
change, the development of
organisation-specific
behavioural
competency frameworks and their subsequent implementation within a
leadership
and talent management
context. In this period, Steve worked extensively in North and South
America, Asia, Australia, South Africa and Europe.
In the early 1990s,
Steve established Glowinkowski International. This would operate in both
the research and consultancy fields. The former would produce bespoke
intellectual property, which could then be applied through consultancy
activities in the areas of leadership
behaviour,
culture change and
organisational
performance improvement. Since founding the business, Steve has built up
the reach of the organisation, which now works with a wide range of
international organisations across a variety of sectors. These extend
from global conglomerates to small, entrepreneurial start-ups, from
major public sector entities to smaller organisations operating within
the voluntary sector.
As a consultant,
Steve has had extensive involvement in the assessment and development of
senior managers and executive directors. He has also conducted extensive
research into the question of what differentiates outstanding
performance at the level of the individual, a team, a business function
and an entire organisation. This research has led to the formulation of
a cohesive set of methodologies, which have been implemented within
numerous international organisations.
David Physick MSc,
MBA, ACIB Principal Consultant
David completed a
career of over 25 years at Barclays Bank, his final role being Group
Customer Relations Director.
Early in his career,
David was one of a small number of internal recruits to the bank’s
management development programme. In the mid-80s, David joined the team
that developed the UK’s first debit card where he was responsible for
producing the training programme for the product’s launch.
Thereafter, David
worked in strategic planning marketing for some years. In the early
1990s, David relocated back to his native Liverpool, where he steered a
strategic business unit from being moribund to being regarded as the
bank’s ‘jewel in the crown’. This business doubled its profit within
three years and was recognised for its leadership prowess in the
European Contact Centre Awards in 1999. This transformation was due to
the work David conducted with Steve Glowinkowski and his business.
When David was
appointed to the newly created role of Group Customer Relations
Director, he established his new team with the help of Steve
Glowinkowski. This team successfully established and implemented an
innovative customer service recovery strategy that was compliant with
new regulations and complemented the bank’s new brand and marketing
strategy. Within its first year of operation, David’s team was
considered pre-eminent by key opinion formers and significantly reduced
the scale and cost of managing complaints across the bank.
Since joining Glowinkowski International, David has contributed to the
successful development of a model to measure a senior team’s leadership
behaviours, a
new measure of Motivation. David has also contributed to the development
of a competency framework for CIOs and has led a major piece of research
to develop a competency framework for senior leaders in customer
service. David has led a variety of client interventions across a broad
range of sectors, including education and a religious order.
