A recent major consulting firm survey of senior executives found
that higher performers in their organization out performed
average performers by a wide margin. This should come as no
surprise to any of us. However, what came as a surprise was how
much this difference could impact the overall performance of an
organization. The study went on to highlight some significant
findings:
|
• |
In operations roles, higher performers were able to
generate 40% more in productivity than their average performing
counterparts. |
• |
In managerial roles, higher performers were able to generate
50% more in profits than their average performing counterparts. |
Similar studies have found even more profound differences
between top and bottom performers in key operational roles. For
instance, in manufacturing companies, one study concluded that
the best plant managers grew profits 130%
while the lowest-performing managers achieved no improvement.
