Introducing the High Performance Behaviours The Schroder Framework
Solid research background Strong research base and multiple, on-going validation studies A strengths model Focus is on using and building strengths Developable Clear path for development, explaining exactly what to do High face validity Means that adoption and understanding is easier Objectivity defined behaviour indicators Ideally suited for meaningful feedback from a non-expert observer network Multi scale Can be used to measure and develop individuals, team or whole organisations High Performance Behaviours – Some key features
The original research question “The world is changing and our organisations and institutions seem not to be coping. Help us understand what is happening and what can / should people be doing about it?” Environment Behaviour Performance
The complex dynamic external environment Dynamic Complex Organisational survival and prosperity depends on leaders and teams using high performance behaviours Stable Simple

How behaviours are all “criterion related” High Performance Behaviours Organisational measures Think Measures • Goal measures • Financial growth • Sales growth • Customer satisfaction • Market share • Employee satisfaction • Process measures • Workflow efficiency • Communications • Work group morale • Team cohesion • Key staff retention • Speed of response • Resource adaptability • Innovation processes • Degree of aspiration • Speed of learning • Resource acquisition • Etc. Involve Inspire Do
When these behaviours are critical When moving to or operating a dynamic, complex and unpredictable environment Staying ahead in a competitive world Enabling individuals, teams and organisations to reach their full potential HPBs are critical to the process of change itself
Think • Information Search • Idea Creation • Flexible Thinking • Involve • Empathy and understanding • Facilitation • Developing People • Inspire • Influence • Inspiring Confidence • Presentation • Do • Proactivity • Customer Action • Quality Measurement
Think • Information Search • Idea Creation • Flexible Thinking Key to strategy formation Highest contribution to performance Typically least developed Typically least recognised
Involve • Empathy and Understanding • Facilitation • Developing People Key to flat, flexible team-based structures Integrate diversity Build ownership, involvement and commitment Nurture the contribution of people
Inspire • Influence • Inspiring Confidence • Presentation Build confidence and excitement Key to alliance formation Socialised power Critical in crises
Do • Proactivity • Customer Action • Quality Measurement Putting customer first Break down bureaucracy Key to empowerment Create total quality
Consistency is achieved in three ways • More frequent but always appropriate use • More situations (social, cultural, certainty, competition v collaboration) • Role modelling
How ratings are calculated for each behaviour ‘Frequency’ of each level benchmarked Statements grouped into levels and averaged 96 statements rated by all observers Rating algorithm uses benchmarked scores Questionnaire Rating created for self assessment and all observer data Strategic 1 2 1 2 1 2 Rating Algorithm Advanced Rating and coaching text created 1 2 Basic Negative Limitation flag added if negative behaviours seen frequently
Frequency of each level of behaviour reported In addition each rating can acquire a ‘with limitation‘ rating if level 1 (negative) behaviour is reported at frequencies above seldom * Actual thresholds are configured on a behaviour by behaviour basis, with reference to benchmarks
Performance can then be described • Strategic Strengths • Strengths • Developing Strengths • Adding Value • Underdeveloped • Limitation

Knows strengths, adequacies and limitations Develops a core of 4-6 strengths Uses strengths to the full Avoids using severe limitations (stops level 1 behaviour) A High Performer
