The basis for the study is assessing manager and leader performance based on five roles. These roles have been found to be critical for understanding overall, individual and firm performance and include:
• Job: Reflects the basic core job one is hired to perform and is often well described in the typical job description
• Team: Reflects responsibilities for ongoing and project-based teams
• Career: Includes responsibilities to enhance career and skills
• Innovator: Covers work spent to develop new ideas, create new routines or improve on process
• Organization Member: Reflects work done to support company overall, when it is not part of the other roles
The study indicated the average, overall percentages of time spent in each role, from high to low, as follows:
- Job - 45%
- Innovator 19%
- Team 16%
- Organization 12%
- Career 8%
BOTTOMLINE: “The average time spent by CEOs in particular in the job role, within a high performing company, is 36% versus 46% for the low performing firms. This is not surprising in that we know long-term competitive advantage comes from a workforce that is spending time doing things other than the ‘core' job. If employees are focused only on the job, everything that your company does can be easily copied by your competitors and replicated easily. Long-term
competitive advantage comes from the right combination of core job and non-core-job roles.”
