Before you start building your talent management processes, lay a strong foundation with a valid competency model like the one we use in @TalentSnapshot

1. POLITICALLY ASTUTE:
Understands and effectively uses the organization's political power structure; is sensitive to others’ agendas and
recognizes that there can be different views of priorities or objectives; tries to lay a groundwork of cooperation by
helping others to look good before soliciting their support; cultivates relationships with those who most influence
job success; incorporates the extra steps needed to satisfy political issues that can slow or halt progress toward a
desired objective.

2. HIGH PERFORMERS…
• Understands and aligns actions and strategies with the values and beliefs of those in authority, as a means to
winning approval/support and of achieving job and career success
• Recognizes that people can view the same objective or priority differently, and is careful not to blindly push
his/her own agenda
• Works to make his/her allies look good by providing what they need to accomplish their responsibilities before
requesting support of his/her own program or agenda

organization

actions have the potential to generate positive support or create a negative bias © GrowthPlay
