Are your people in the right roles?
The #1 threat to productivity in organizations isn’t lack of talent—it’s misaligned talent.
Here’s the reality:
- Gifted communicators might struggle in behind-the-scenes roles
- Big-picture strategists may falter in highly detailed positions
- Aggressive consumers of details may not know how to approach grey areas
Likely symptoms are burnout, disengagement, and turnover. But the fix is simpler than you think:
- Start with strengths-based assessments - doesn’t have to be anything formal, just develop shared knowledge of how an individual creates the most success for themselves and others
- Create open dialogue about roles and goals - it’s all about having the conversations that elevate the specifics on what success looks like
- And then, be willing to shift responsibilities - steep your culture in this adaptability
How does your organization ensure people are set up for success? If someone didn’t meet expectations this year, are you considering moving them into a better role?
