HUMAN RESOURCE = The role that people play in an organization.
People are the energy source in an organization.
Difference between human resource management and human resource development
What is human resource development and what does it look like?
- It starts with the assumption that humans are developmental, in the process of developing.
- Maturation is a life-long process.
“Detroit Model” of human development:
- building a car/school = a passive experience, don’t cause problems and get through the course.
- functioning/live life = while managed (most often, by someone else)
- junkyard/leisure world = stay out of the way
Detriot Model does not look at development or maturation as a life long process.
What is the assumption that you have of human development and growth? Do you have a Detroit model or a development model?
The Genysys Group of Organizational health:
(Sample question) How would you describe the treatment of people, given the organizational values and mission?
The opportunity to take initiative can be an indicator of the health of an organization when it comes to human resources.
Most organizations sit on untapped energy because leadership doesn’t understand or know how to develop it.
CHALLENGE/SUPPORT
The appropriate balance of challenge and support helps people move
- Too much challenge/not enough support = burn out
- Too much support/not enough challenge = rust out
Too much Challenge:
- What support do you need?
- Who might offer that support?
- Who might know where that support is?
Too comfortable:
- What kind of challenge do I need?
- When we treat circumstances as opportunities for development, it helps us.
- What do I need to take on that will push the envelope?
Questions for coaching clients:
