TO DESIGN A TALENT PROFILE FOR A SPECIFIC ROLE, GREAT MANAGERS SPEND TIME WITH THEIR BEST EMPLOYEES IN ORDER TO LEARN, EVALUATE AND UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING FACTORS OF EXCELLENCE. THEY ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO SHARPEN AND GET IN MORE OF THE PRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOURS.
Best managers see up to effectiveness by investing in their best staff; they spend most of their time with their best employees rather than with their strugglers or least productive staff. They consider the catalyst role of turning talent into a performance as the core of their role, not instructing or controlling their employees. They spend time with an employee not to fix, correct or instruct but to think up more effective ways of turning the employee’s talent into performance. They are quite conscious of the talent profile that matches a specific role.
They lay out a unique set of expectations to challenge and boost the productivity of each employee.
Among their objectives is highlighting each person’s unique style and helping the employee to deepen his or her understanding of what works for him or her and to discover better means of perfecting it. It is their thinking that they work for their employees and constantly prospect for new ideas to help their employees, especially their best ones, to maximise their talents and productivity. Also, they strive to create a free space for their employees’ talents to bloom by getting stifling bureaucracy out of their way. Productivity responds positively to increased investments of time and energy on talent.
To encourage her people to engage more in productive activities and less in unproductive ones is the manager’s job. Paying attention to the fruitful behaviours of their most productive staff is their way of encouraging more of those fruitful behaviours in them.
From their point of view, investing in their best is not only the fairest thing to do, but it is also a way of learning and focusing on excellence. Studying failure will not avail anyone anything of excellence.
The joy of seeing the patient responding positively to treatment is the talent that shields great nurses from the sadness and suffering all around them. Great managers learn from their best by spending time with them and by asking them to explain their secret. They spend time with their best in order to learn, evaluate and understand the underlying factors of excellence, and to sharpen and encourage more of them. This learning and evaluation help them to design a talent profile for a specific role.
