People Matter but Organizations Matter More

This is an interesting article from Dave Ulrich suggesting a shift from individual development to a focus on organizational needs:

"This pivot from individual to organization is not my personal desire, but based on research and experience. In Victory Through Organization, we report data from 1,200 businesses and 32,000 people. We measure business outcome with a 6 item scale. We then measure the competencies of the individuals within the 1,200 businesses and the capabilites of the 1,200 businesses. Our statistics show that the organization has 4 times the impact on business outcomes than the individual competencies. Experience confirms this in sports where the leading scorer in soccer, basketball, hockey and other team sports, is on the  team that wins the championship only 20% of the time. People matter, but organizations matter more. Individuals are champions, but teams win championships."
