Controlled Independence

In 2017, Derek Hendrikz introduced an RPO maturity model. It aims to decide how mature Org is to be both Relevant and Performing. The model poses five levels of maturity. They are from level one to five: dependency; controlled dependency; independence; controlled independence; and interdependence. The criteria for controlled independence are:

• Management outweighs leadership.
• Formal authority is acknowledged.
• Predominantly proactive (important things outweigh urgent things).
• Change is planned – the end in mind is clear.
• Performance is calculated and mapped out. Alterations must be approved.
• Participative leadership is the preferred style.
