On January 31, an event of the project of the International Institute of Sales - "How I develop an employee" took place.


During the meeting, Tinatin Rukhadze, Founder, Entrepreneur and Business Leader of ACT, presented the unique POWER3® organizational transformation model and talked about how strongly factors such as company vision, strategic goals and priorities, organizational culture, leadership and environment influence the which the employee must carry out his work, implement skills, as well as organizational resources, system and organizational mechanisms in order to be able to effectively use the new knowledge and skills gained by the employee and bring results.


On the topic “How do we develop an employee if we don’t change anything”, the founder of ACT voiced 3 main messages:


1. An employee is a part of the system - his development cannot take place if the whole system does not develop.


2. Create an employee development plan in an organizational context.


TIP: Ask at least 3 questions:

What organizational purpose does this employee's development serve? (vision)

Does this employee work in a development-friendly environment? (culture)

Is there an incentive and opportunity for the implementation of new knowledge/skills of the employee in the organization? (performance)


3. Finally, if the organization has a lot of "unfit" and "ungrateful" employees, then it's time to transform not the employee, but the entire system.

“It seems that we are all aware of the impact of the employee on the organization, but very often we forget about the impact of the organization on the employee. Organizations often plan the development of an individual or a team—from a personal, professional, or management standpoint—without considering the most important factor, that the worker is part of a large and complex system—called an organization.” - Tinatin Rukhadze said.




Among the speakers were Medea Tabatadze, founder and trainer of the consulting and recruiting company Insource, Craig Kramer, Executive Director of Sun Petroleum (Gulf Georgia).

The meeting, organized by the International Sales Institute, was attended by representatives of the business sector, directors of various companies and HR managers.
