(Al Goodman of Albert James Associates coined this term).<\/p>\n<p>ROR\u00d4 is how we as leaders can improve the performance of our team and empower them to greatness.\u00a0 To begin with, we need to define the behaviors we desire; Mr. Goodman has identified the following 6 areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talent Management<\/li>\n<li>Accountability<\/li>\n<li>Collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Strategy<\/li>\n<li>Customer Focus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These dimensions may be replaced with some that may be more meaningful or useful to your organization but the intent is to make your staff aware of them, and the associated behaviors you view as critical for success.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is for you as leader to provide feedback and encouragement for the behaviors exhibited, and to create a work environment conducive for employees to act in empowered ways.\u00a0 The benefit will be higher performance, an increase in results, and lower attrition.
