Title: Maintaining the rage


1
  • Maintaining the rage
  • through a big organisational change and beyond

Matt Miller General Manager, CSA
APSC EL Leadership Network November 2008

Why focus on employee engagement and motivation?
  • Most companies have it all wrong. They dont
    have to motivate their employees. They have to
    stop de-motivating them

Sirota et al. 2008 Stop de-motivating your
employees
3
Why focus on employee engagement and motivation?
  • higher levels of individual, team and
    organisational performance and talent retention
    from engaged employees
  • successful change requires active consideration
    of potential de-motivating impacts on employees
    and leaders
  • our people expect more of us as leaders and our
    organisations

4
Why focus on employee engagement and motivation?
  • APSC 2006 State of the Service Report
  • only 38 of employees agreed senior leaders
    were a positive factor in employee
    engagement
  • loss of experienced staff and difficult in
    getting required skills 2 biggest challenges
    facing agencies
  • Labour mobility and increased access to
    information increase the competition for good
    employees
  • staff are becoming more discerning about who
    they will work for

5
Ask yourself
  • Would my people say I
  • involve them in decision-making ?
  • am fair ?
  • am inspirational ?
  • give them opportunities to shine and develop ?
  • hold them accountable ?
  • What would they say about your organisation ?

6
What are our people looking for?
  • Organisations they are proud to work for
  • Organisations with values they agree with
  • Leaders who are inspirational, fair, involving,
    supportive and trusting
  • Leaders who give personal development
    opportunities, challenging work and hold them
    accountable
  • Colleagues they like, respect and learn from

Our task in a nutshell
  • sustain and enhance employees love for CSA
  • manage the potential downsides of the change on
    employee engagement and motivation
  • non-alignment with new direction
  • poor communication
  • change fatigue
  • staff feeling un-valued/ without influence
  • non-congruent leadership behaviours

10
Our Approach
  • New strategic direction
  • External connectivity
  • Leadership
  • Communication
  • Sensing
  • Employee engagement
  • New reward and recognition and performance
    management systems

11
New strategic direction
  • System vision to build collaborative focus and
    links to higher order outcomes
  • Transcending the change program- providing a
    sense of a continuing journey
  • Built on the past and not reversing direction
  • Provides an important reference point to manage
    through the ambiguity of the change journey

12
The Strategic Shift
13
Our leadership approach
  • Establishing strong senior executive leadership
    teams to drive the change
  • Senior executives investing heavily in sensing,
    communication, engagement and external connection
  • Cascading collaborative leadership teams
  • Senior leadership dialogues to build leaders
    ownership, understanding and engagement

14
My Leadership Approach
  • Strong personal investment
  • direct and unfiltered communication
  • Authentic leadership style to build trust,
    belief, motivation and sense of shared reality
  • role-modeling expected leadership behaviours
  • being myself and working to my strengths
  • self-disclosing, open and credible, tough empathy
  • being highly visible, accessible to staff
  • openly engaging with staff

15
Engaging our people
  • Listening and sensing
  • frequent, multi-channel and internal and external
  • Making the transformation meaningful
  • Communicating internally and externally during
    the journey- refreshing the why, what, how and
    how well
  • but no spin
  • Using symbolic acts as part of the messaging
  • Involving some of them
  • reference groups, in research and on projects

16
Our Channels
17
Engaging our people
  • Initially about earning trust and building
    credibility
  • Open sharing of information/ direct
    communication/ authenticity
  • Mobilising commitment to the changes
  • Explaining change rationale and vision and their
    role
  • New opportunities and challenges
  • Engaging
  • Listening and sharing influence
  • Tapping into individuals
  • Building understanding of the changes
  • Reporting progress and reinforcing the what and
    why

heading in the right direction has remained at or

I have the support I need from my local leaders
to provide my customers with good service

the support they need from local leaders to

Actual Culture by Position Level

Improving our leadership
  • Deeper leadership capability and self awareness
  • New cost-effective 360? feedback tool
  • Senior executives coaching and mentoring their
    leadership team
  • Investment in middle management leadership
    development
  • Deeper leadership engagement and support
  • Criticality of understanding the importance of
    roles
  • Behaviours v capabilities- were watched
  • Taking time and space to think and lead

29
Improving our engagement
  • More structured and focussed employee engagement
    in site visits
  • Improving influence and involvement
  • link to role clarity and new governance in 1 CSA
    (new national networks)
  • Ensuring more timely response/ action to sensing
    and engagement feedback

30
Some concluding thoughts
  • weve delivered a massive change agenda and
    maintained BAU performance
  • but
  • our people are looking for greater reciprocation
    and engagement and improved leadership
    effectiveness
  • as leaders it is important we appreciate the
    value of employee engagement and the emotional
    needs of our people

31
Some learnings
  • there are limits to telling and selling- need
    communication and engagement
  • sensing and listening are important but so too
    is responding- and it costs to do all this well
  • beware the trap of prioritising investment in
    leadership capability in senior executives-
    direct managers are also very important

32
In closing..
  • CEOs who take the commitment of their employees
    for granted risk destroying the social fabric of
    their organisations
  • Einenstat et al., 2008 The Uncompromising
    Leader

33
In closing..
  • Spending time with your people is one of the
    most powerful forms of recognition you can
    bestow. Genuinely seeking their opinions and
    feedback costs nothing more than your time and
    the dividends are priceless
  • James E Burton

34
In closing.
  • Many supervisors are regarded well by their
    employees because they foster a highly motivating
    local environment even if the organisation as a
    whole falls short
  • Nohria et al., 2008 Employee Motivation a
    powerful new tool
