A county board is about to adopt a mission that promises the fastest permitting in the region. The CHRO notes that inspection culture has long rewarded caution over speed, and that hiring, promotion, and discipline still reinforce that caution. What should the CHRO recommend before the mission is adopted?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A mission that says "hurry" while the culture still pays people to go slow is two maps for the same road. Hiring, promotions, and discipline will tear in half if the board never picks a value. Fix the contradiction before the mission is carved in stone.
Full Explanation
Strategy contribution includes spotting mission-and-values contradictions that will break people practices once the document is adopted. If the county promises regional speed while inspection culture still rewards risk aversion, selection, performance, and discipline systems cannot both be right. Rewriting postings or surveying later leaves the contradiction inside the strategy. Senior HR asks the board to reconcile the values before adoption so the people systems have one set of instructions.
