The Best Manager knows that when people feel valued at work, they get more done, have better relationships with their peers, and make the culture stronger. When people feel like they are viewed as unique and not labeled or forced to compete against their peers, motivation can increase. The organization and the employees benefit and the BEST Managers just get better!
The BEST Manager enables all employees to move from assignment to assignment or job to job despite past performance. Many people become stagnant when they are forced to remain in the same positions year after year. Sales people are told they can’t go into marketing, engineers are told they can’t go into sales, and human resources staff have difficulty moving into business line functions.
Moving people around the organization spreads knowledge and enhances learning.
Establish a database of abilities and interests. Combine this database with business needs and employee development plans. As new opportunities come up, utilize the database to assist in selecting people for assignments. This helps people to feel vested in the business and less constrained by a job description. This leads to more risk taking and creativity which is a good thing for the organization.
