Employee Evaluation Reinvented with Kent Nuttall 38:25

38:25

Kent Nuttall – Author Untapped Value: The Power of Meaningful Competence Your relationship with an employer hinges on how your performance is evaluated. The ideas for this book began with a dysfunctional relationship, one in which my supervisors praised me as a department hero while delivering a “Meets Expectations” rating. Untapped Value shows you a better way to build and measure that relationship—performance evaluation that begins with you, the employee. In this book you’re introduced to and shown how to use an innovative new approach that focuses you and your supervisor on the actual value you create. Imagine being known for measurable, visible value. Isn’t that a lot better than being among the 85% percent who are labeled as “meets expectations”? This new approach is called Meaningful Competence® because you’re now building competence that’s meaningful to you, as well as to the organization you work for. You build this Meaningful Competence using a toolkit that will flex to your situation. Hosted by M. Bruce Abbott, e-learning narrator…

Increasing Meaning in Your Talent Development Career September 19, 2019 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Rice A Talent Management Like most (all?) of you, I've experienced thrilling jobs. Then there have been the times that I've only been working; times in which my job lacked the meaning I wanted. I felt disconnected. My experience, coupled with research, led to the development of a framework that helps you build meaning in your current job and throughout your talent development career. This framework focuses on the "what" questions that need to be answered to have meaning: What do I talk about with supervisors? What do I talk about with peers? What metrics are important to me? What should I focus on next to create more meaning in my current job? As you develop more meaning in your career, you also increase the meaning you bring to others as they struggle in their jobs. And you'll have the metrics to prove it. SpeakerKent Nuttall President, Torch Solutions Group From The ATD Houston Podcast Studio hosted by M. Bruce Abbott - eLearning Voice Talent…

Getting Succession Planning Right Using Assessments September 19, 2019 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Katy Boardroom Despite the best intentions and time invested, many of today’s leadership succession planning processes miss the mark. In fact, for decades studies consistently show that leadership ineffective rates are unacceptably high. As we move to the fast-paced, constantly changing future, staying on the same course could have devasting results. With today’s succession planning processes, there is too much room for human biases and gaps in observations that influence decisions. Also, an abundance of hidden talent, largely found with diverse candidates, is never brought to the surface because traditional methods often fail to recognize true or raw talent. In order to make essential data-driven decisions to identify, develop and deploy the best talent for your organization, a scientifically validated assessment is essential. Learn how to design a top-down succession planning assessment strategy using scientifically validated instruments to meet the rapidly changing and disruptive challenges of the future.

I’ve spent close to a decade now consumed with the career development industry. Since enrolling in graduate school near the end of 2008, I spent an astonishing amount of time in the pursuit of work in my specific field – resulting in minimal success. Over time, I gradually discovered that I wasn’t alone in this struggle, and have since dedicated my entire career to help people faced with the same challenges. During this time, I’ve written many pertinent articles along with three different publications focused on career development and career transition. I’ve coached others, and even created a business platform for a mobile app. around efficient job search strategies. The decision to write my first publication “The Job Inner-View” came to me as sort of an epiphany one morning in late 2012, as I wanted to write about all the different successful and creative methods I used to find work in hopes that it could help encourage and inspire the millions of other people in adjusting to the “contemporary changes in job searching” I had abruptly discovered for himself over the period of job searching for several years. Throughout the course of writing my book, I was able to interview various well known and highly experienced employers; gaining both insight and feedback on how one should go about finding work in today’s economy, as well as recurring similarities in success stories from employees I interviewed who found work. My passion and mission are coming together with people and through my services, talents, and experience – helping them get past these commonly expressed problems. As a result of these services, I’ve found common solutions to these problems. -Scott Hosted by M. Bruce Abbott - Male Voice Actor, Houston…
