Are you setting up to fail?

set up to fail

Have you taken an intelligent, productive employee and unwittingly set them up to fail? It’s easily done and we see it on a regular basis. How do you choose your Manager’s?

Managing is a totally different skill set to the hands on technique required to do a job. Any new skill takes training and practice before it becomes something you achieve a level of competence in.

Whilst we hope your team members are already responsible adults, if they have never experienced managing others before it will take time for them to learn how to achieve the results that YOU are looking for.

When you learnt how to drive you got lessons. Some people take to it like a duck to water some don’t. However anyone with the right mind set and willingness to learn can take on new responsibilities once they have mastered the art.

So, have you got someone in mind for a manager’s role? Do you have a Manager who you feel isn’t achieving at the level you expect?

Most people come to work every day to do their best, so give your employees a fighting chance to achieve by avoiding setting them up to fail. Take the time to plan what and who you need and the training that's required for success. If you're unsure of where to start give us a call.
