Q&A: Right Management's Bram Lowsky

Bram Lowsky is Group EVP for the Americas at Right Management, a ManpowerGroup company. He recently sat down with ALM Intelligence's Liz DeVito to discuss the firm's new model of leadership development. 

ALM Intelligence: Right Management recently introduced a new model of leadership development, the P3 Leader Model. Why?

Lowsky: Many existing leadership models were developed for a time when business conditions were more stable, when growth followed predictable patterns and producers had more power than consumers to shape markets. The ability to manage capital was the hallmark of a successful leader, but this is no longer enough. We have entered a new economic era, the Human Age, where the ability to optimize talent is the critical determinant of business success and, more importantly, survival in a world characterized by volatility and uncertainty. With this in mind, Right Management recognized the need for a new leadership model that drives business outcomes by providing organizations with an efficient system to guide the selection and development of leaders, and a framework to measure leaders' impact on individual employees. The P3 Leader Model achieves this by focusing on three key factors of leadership development: people (talent identification and assessment), purpose (capability development), and performance (success measures).
