Just as climbers at Mt. Everest’s “Base Camp” gather their gear, align their focus, and prepare for the ascent... organizations must establish clear direction for managers to achieve success. 

1) Define Success: How Talent Results deliver Organization Results. 

2) Know the current situation: Outline what’s happening and being achieved.

3) Identify a “Champion” that will lead the MGR Impact expedition. 

“The Approach” is where progress is made one deliberate step at-a-time to drive each person toward the summit. By answering "The BIG 4" questions, crystallizing desired results, defining a clear route, and building essential capabilities, managers drive individual performance, engagement, development, and retention. 

1) Crystalize the desired results. What will be achieved - How much… how fast?

2) What's the route that we need to take? What actions will deliver an impact?

3) What capabilities need to be developed within the different players to perform?

“The Climb” is where managers build competence and confidence, while investing time to translate strategy and goals into action. Managers perform the 12 MGR Talent Actions, and invest the right amount of “Talent Time” to drive individual performance, engagement, development, and retention.

1) Develop ability to perform through hands-on experience. 

2) Create “accountability” for managers and highlight where to invest focus.

3) Capture the actions taken (DID) and what was achieved (IMPACT Created).

“The Summit” is reached through focus, endurance, and grit. Managers and individuals unite to achieve results within the dynamic work situation we’re facing in 2025 (businesses recovering from economic challenges and 51% of individuals seeking new opportunities). NOW is the critical time to develop managers with proven solutions and practical practices. 

1) Savor the success by recognizing the achievements. 

2) Lock in gains with solid practices and procedures.

3) Capture insights learned to further success and leverage new capabilities.
