What’s the mind-set in your organisation?
A few questions for you to turn over in your mind before you get stuck in to this month’s community content:
- How do you – personally and as an organisation – define ‘talent’? Are they those who have the highest test scores like IQ or EQ, or those who take a risk and learn from their mistakes?
- What’s your recruitment policy? Do you hire people with experience of doing a similar role in a similar company or do you look for aptitude and potential to grow with the role?
- What happens when someone messes up a project? Do you take the learning and apply it to other projects or lower the employee’s performance rating and compensation whilst brushing the mistakes under the carpet?
- When you invite people to attend a development programme, do you help them to understand the benefits and how they will grow as a result?
- What are your beliefs about your own success? Were you simply born with certain talents and abilities and fortunate enough to find roles that allow you to make the most of them? Or do you enjoy testing your abilities, looking for new challenges and learning the skills required to overcome them?
