The UAB Medicine Leadership Competency Model features five domains and 19 competencies. In this series, we’ll examine this model and how it can be used to empower leadership.
As leaders strive to assign their team members’ strengths to the best possible uses, effective talent management is crucial for organizational success.
Upholding high standards is a cornerstone of this process, ensuring that organizations attract, retain, and develop a workforce that is not only highly qualified but also diverse and aligned with the organization's mission and values.
“The most important assets of any organization are the members who make up the team," said Kellie Carter, Ph.D., Senior Leadership Development Specialist. "By leveraging individual team member strengths, leaders build strong, trusting teams that are more effective and productive.”
Let’s take a closer look at the second of the five domains in the UAB Medicine Leadership Competency Model: talent management.
Improve performance
The foundation of strong talent management lies in building a team that not only meets the qualifications but also aligns with the organization’s values. This ensures a workforce that is committed and motivated, driving overall performance improvements.
Uphold high standards
Maintaining high standards in leadership is essential. Leaders must hold themselves and others accountable to both behavioral and regulatory standards. This accountability fosters a culture of excellence and integrity, essential for long-term success.
Resolve conflict
Effective conflict resolution is a key component of talent management. By seeking to understand differing perspectives and keeping relationships intact, leaders can navigate disputes while maintaining a cohesive and collaborative team environment.
By focusing on these principles, organizations can cultivate a high-performing, standards-driven, and harmonious workplace.
