To summarize the
first post on competency as one of the keys
to success we discussed several
points.
- Competency is the ability to do something well and to do it consistently.
- Competency is measured by others capacity to depend on you.
- Competency is about focusing yourself in your strengths.
- Competency is mastering the details and getting things 100 percent right.
Let’s look at
competency a little further….
Competency:
Consistency
In the last post
I pointed out that whether you are a self-employed business owner,
entrepreneur, solo professional or individual competency is about
dependability. You may have all the ability in the world, but if you are not
dependable your gifts and talents will be wasted.
Competency
whether you are seeking in your life or in small business growth is about
consistency. Consistency is developed by doing the ordinary things
extraordinarily well.
In fact, when you
do the ordinary things extraordinarily well in your organization and life, it
allows you to have more time to use your gifts and talents.
Competency: Focus
To demonstrate
consistent competency, as we have just pointed out, you must be consistent.
Focus is the fuel that drives consistency.
Have your day and
life set up for focus. Set up your day to focus on the things you do very well.
And, the things that aren’t fun…..allot time for them but don’t mix them, if at
all possible, into your time when you are doing the things you enjoy and do
well.
Competency:
Details
Details are very
important. No one says when a product or job doesn’t meet expectation that it
was great that it was 95% right. No. That last 5% determines success or
failure.
And, I can
promise you from my personal coaching practice that it is paying attention to
the details in the last 5% that will take you across the finish line and to
having a winning product or service.
Competency:
Putting It All Together—Implementation
What is generally
the most difficult part of any job? It is implementation. Therefore, give it
greater attention. You may have a great product but without precise
instructions the customer may never get the maximum value.
Or, you have an
excellent service but the customer doesn’t realize the full value of what he is
receiving because it was never made clear to him.
Implementation is
a key to competency or the perception of competency. Get others together who
are part of your process. Or, if you are a solo professional ask questions of
other to improve your implementation.
Process
determines outcome. Create a great process around your product or service. When
you do you will increase your odds of achieving a high level of competency and
the success you desire.
