"Let each man exercise the art he knows."
Aristophanes

Theoretically everyone you hire has something to contribute (if that isn't true, why did you hire them?)
Making sure that is so and getting it from them is the responsibility of management.
When you look at employees, do you see the jobs you hired them to do, the unique contribution they can make to the company, or both?
Is there a difference?

Honestly? I think I look more at the job I hired them to do rather than what unique qualities they may have.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't what I hired them to do the same as their "unique contribution"?
Looking more at the job you hire someone to do is normal, we all do that.
ReplyDeleteHowever it would be beneficial to also watch for what they can do that you did not originally see as part of the job, including remaining open to how they would do it versus how you thought it would be done. There is a big difference.
The more you get the latter, the more innovation you will have in your company.
