What is HUMAN AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE?
At it's core, Human & Organizational Performance is a fundamental shift in how we view people – it is the move away from viewing people as a problem to be managed, and the shift towards viewing people as problem solvers. HOP is an operating philosophy that teaches us that error is normal, blame fixes nothing, context drives behavior, learning is vital, how we react matters, and that organizational approaches and tactics counter to these beliefs often move us away from the so needed learnings we require to innovate and improve, and hinder our ability to be transformational leaders.
