If you have a new employee who has been hired, then training them to perform to company standard and be effective and efficient is very important to do.
If allowed to germinate, they could destroy the financial stability or public image of the company. Even Steve needed someone to tell him no from time to time. It’s not that the ideas weren’t good, or that the innovator wasn’t going in the right direction, it’s just that it was too crazy. The devil’s advocate often pipes in with the public opinion.
People need instruction, official instruction that’s easy to remember OR easy to refer to. You can tell a man the seventy-two finer steps of your plan to buy out your leading competitor’s company, but if you don’t write them down, he can never measure up to your expectations.
The visionary is someone who holds and treasures the vision of the project. This person likely attended the board meetings that preceded this committee. He or she understands the higher vision behind the project. The committee must rely on him or her to keep them on-track.
Too often, mistakes and oversights made during training fall to the employee, rather than to the people teaching them. As such, they may not learn everything that is needed and will already have to shoulder some balance given to them when there are mistakes made.
If they can’t see what you see, they will never be able to reach their full potential. They won’t foresee problems or innovate processes and products. Sharing the vision unlocks the flood of talent and diligence that they hide within themselves. And even if they catch the vision and reject it, you don’t need to worry if they decide to leave.
Clear and direct communication is key when training someone. Since a new employee is likely to be someone that you don’t know, it can be tricky to establish a working rhythm with them and help them to genuinely understand what is going on.
After all, they didn’t know they were stepping on toes. Figure out the bare minimum behavior you expect from each of your employees and write them down in the Performance Work Statement for easy reference.
The worker is the most important part because they truly turn ideas into action. And what good are the ideas if you have no action to follow?
Higher paying jobs tend to need a more creative approach, as money isn’t usually all they’re worried about. They will more likely forego the extra money if it means they can spend more quality time with the family.
When you set the right goals, you guarantee your company’s future. No one wants to get left behind.
It is a process which is not always the most exciting thing in the world, but it is an important one. Said person represents a part of your company and its future, so getting it right and helping them out will be an investment in said future, for the better.
