THAT ONE EMPLOYEE
Ever watched a skilled sheepdog at work?
Look at this border collie controlling an entire flock of sheep easily, within seconds, knowing exactly what to do.
What if you transfer what you see here to the corporate context?
What if employees:
– know what to do
– anticipate problems before they arise
– have the skills that are needed, but you don’t have yourself?
– need no micromanagement because they can lead themselves?
Yes, what if?
Maybe you have those natural leaders in your company, who don't need constant instructions.
Who bring in all their experience, years of practice, an agility.
They are already there, in your company? Congratulations. Keep and create a climate so they will stay.
You want and need to find them? That one employee?
Be ready to create room for enablement and growth.
Be ready to enable and inspire instead of managing.
Because that’s what people neither want nor need to be: managed.
P.S.: Have you ever worked with someone like this? Or are you that person in your team?
