If you are running a business, company or you are head of
organisation then you should know how to effectively utilize the resources
available. People working under you are resources or more than that. You can
call them valuable asset which you have procured after conducting a selection
procedure which you felt is suitable to shortlist people who are fit for your
organisation.
But why you are not able to meet the desired results which
you always thought would be easier while selecting suitable candidate. Is your
decision making is poor? I don’t think so as you have reached such a good
height in your life. Then does it mean that people you selected are not
efficient enough to deliver you what you are looking for? The answer can be yes
if they are not qualified enough and the answer can also be NO if they have
requirement qualification. Then what is the problem? May be the problem is you.
No! No!! I am not questioning your capability but I am
surely questioning your way of functioning. As a good manager you should be
aware about the strengths and weakness of your resources. If you know your
employee is excellent in hardware and good in programing then you should
utilize him for domain of hardware. You can keep him as backup for the
programing part as he is GOOD but not excellent. Your employee will feel
satisfied and may be happy working for his strengths rather than weakness. Nobody
wants to be in the zone where he feels uncomfortable. I am sure even you don’t
want to be in uncomfortable zone.
Therefore, one can separate out the employees into
categories. They should not feel discriminated and to achieve this you have to
keep this method a secret. If they will come to know about the categories then
people in different category may feel superior to other categorised employees
and thus it will affect the morale of everyone in the organisation.
Divide people into the category depending upon their
capability. Make a diary, note down the strengths and weakness of each
individual. You can only know about their weakness and strengths when you
interact with them and spend more time with them on floor. Interact with them
on one-on-one basis. Observe them on floor, their way of functioning, give them
tasking in such a manner that you can judge them. Be a critic, but a positive
critic.
Human resource is the most important resource which one can
have. Firing a youngster is a biggest mistake which one can do. If you have
selected them then they are suitable to chase down the targets which you are
aspiring for in order to win. Use your most experienced employee to create new
cadre, who can replace him when he will retire. Be observant rather than
ignorant. Trust me, this way of functioning will make you a better manager but
also improve relations with your employees on personal and professional front.
