Discover Which Role Defines Your Success: Body, Brain, or Business Partner?
There are absolutely times to be one or more of these roles. You hopefully have the luxury of deciding which one you want to be. When I describe a Body above … don’t take that offensively. There are companies that treat their people this way. The role of a Brain can sometimes be very analogous — working on tax filings or other work that can be a long slow grind. Body and Brain roles are important. The smart companies and the smart employers look for more. The look for Business Partners.
When done right … a Business Partner model allows, enables and empowers a Body or a Brain to put their skills to the test and become an integral partner to the business and to the customer experience.
