Manager: Identify The Right People!
It’s true. Since our manager understands what the goals are, what is left to do is to identify the people who can accomplish the particular job assigned to them.
As we saw before, our manager knows the s given inputs, understand the resource available to him, now he has to identify the “who”.
The only two criteria for choosing the right person are:
Can they do it?
and
Will they do it?
If our manager picks a person that can do the job, but won’t, our manager will not accomplish the goals.
The same applies if our manager picks a person that will do the job, but can’t. The goals will not be accomplished.
Either way, the company did not move forward.
This is actually the most important job the manager has. It is also a tell tell sign that the manager understands where the company is heading and how to get there.
The manager should stay away from trying to “mold” the person into the job. That is done during the training phase of the employee.
