Leadership: Nature vs. Nurture It really doesn t matter if a person is more naturally hardwired for success as a leader (nature) or if they more developed the ability over time (nurture). What does matter is that when they are a mature adult (by age 30) do they consistently demonstrate the desired leadership attributes. Success Profiles Inc. Research, 1992 to 2009
The R Factor Assessments We believe that consistent performance can be simply best explained through a combination of Talent or demonstrated ability that is amplified by and with the combination of Drive and Practice discipline factors. The R factor assessments provide an evidence based evaluation framework to estimate overall capability and performance. The ultimate impact for organizations is that when they align and match the appropriate talent of their leaders with the pre determined complexity of their assigned roles, they increase their overall odds of success from 3:1 against to 3:1 in their favor. Success Profiles Inc. Research, 1992 to 2009
What is your Personal Success Profile? Success Profile (R) = T(D+ P) with O and E Talent: Not enough vs. Just enough with amplification R = Results (measurable outcomes and/or comparable performance to an established standard) T = Talent (unique demonstrated d ability, physical, mental endowments, aptitude) D = Drive (work ethic, extraordinary discretionary effort and/or determination to achieve a goal, standard or milestone) P = Practice discipline (mental discipline, prioritization, focus on goals, the consistency of doing the right things right) O = Opportunity (the access to available tools, expertise, resources, equipment and facilities to advance to a high level) E = Encouragement (the enriching culture of the organization/environment and positive feedback (praise) provided through instruction and coaching)
Can Drive and Practice discipline factors also be rate limiting? YES While it is easier to understand (and for most people to accept) how most physical attributes or Talent can be rate limiting as people age. It is very difficult for people to accept that Drive (work ethic/determination factors) and Practice Discipline (consistency factors) are also rate limiting. Can t anyone, at any time just flip the switch on and become intensely motivated to achieve and be willing to put in the extra 10% to 50% to effort? Can t everyone just wake up tomorrow and be highly disciplined to eat correctly, set ambitious goals, plan and study intently to learn? It appears not. Success Profiles Inc. Research, 1992 to 2009
