4 Types of Employees ! Identify them into each box and move !

-

Most of the time it is not about time management, it is about energy management and how we utilize the energy towards achievement of the tasks towards the organizational goals. There are strategic and operational topics in our routine and the effective utilisation of energy is the key for smart achievement of these goals.


According to "My Thoughts" i would equate energy with enthusiasm of an associate. And categorizing these two into 4 different boxes we could term associates into each of these categories :

LOW Enthusiasm and LOW Energy:
These are those associates who are nothing but 'SEAT WARMERS' of the organization (apologies on the word used, but that's a fact). They have absolutely no energy and no enthusiasm and therefore, are only seat warmers and are dangerous for the organization with respect to overheads and spreading of negativity in the organization.
These associates are easily identifiable in terms of deliverables.
LOW Enthusiasm and HIGH Energy:
These are those associates who are in a particular role for a long time or have taken up a responsibility not in their area of interest. These associates needs a change in their role fitting their interest or needs training to bring in interest in their role and need to channel their energy and increase the enthusiasm amongst themselves.
These associates can be identified based on the creativity and ideas they bring on to the table.

HIGH Enthusiasm and Low Energy
These associates have the urge and interest to learn and with high enthusiasm but low on energy. All they need would be a considerable investment of their energy into training. They need mentoring into their daily tasks for a considerable time after which they could be pushed to the top most box in the matrix
These associates are those who bring in ideas to the table with less relevance to business

HIGH Enthusiasm and High Energy
The success of an organization would be with having most of their associates in this box. This is the most ideal and looked for box where both the organization and the associate can benefit and utilze their energy towards the common organizational goal.
These associates are those who can be measure by creativity, deliverables and also the idea they bring in with business relevance.

Again these are "My Thoughts" and would like to understand and learn from "Your Thoughts" as well!!
DO share in your views!!

    Well said @Prasad. However, HIGH Enthusiasm and High Energy individuals are always in the lookout for more tasks to complete and challenges to overcome. As a business, you should be able to utilise this or you will tend to lose them to other companies that may offer something to satisfy this appetite for challenges. A good balance of all the above may help a team progress faster than just one group of people.

    A team of complimentary skills and abilities can help fill voids as a group. Imagine a group of PhDs working together. Worse than a non-performing team would be a negative performing group. One where ego clashes, overt competitiveness can and will bring the whole group down.

Visiting Card, an important asset to be carried along everywhere we travel, as it is the starting point of conversation. Recently, when we were chatting on the same topic and we debated if job title or designation to be on the visiting card.  " My Thoughts " is a job title can help contacts understand your role & responsibility within a company, quickly determine the decision making power the position holds. It has it's uses and can be extremely helpful. Also, visiting cards are given to customers, vendors and mostly people outside the organization and therefore, the hierarchical designation doesn't really concern the person outside the organization... Therefore, a job title must be on visiting card.     Example: A Country Manager for a particular channel is at hierarchy of Deputy Manager within the organization... Which do you think is the right way of having the business card ?

4 Ways of saying "NO" for organization and career growth !!

World is being a more competitive place and to retain customers and increase the sales / turnover of an organisation, there are many things a company can plan / strategize. But many times the company plans to achieve these strategies by squeezing the existing resources. But since many employees fear saying "NO" to the managers, they take the tasks / additional load which would impact the productivity levels of their existing tasks : Am not saying here that each task an employee receives, must say "NO" to it, but my point is that the employee needs to evaluate it before accepting.  1. What is current occupancy level ?  Nobody in the organisation is working for 100% of their working hours. This is a known fact to all. But the occupancy level differs for each employee. The employee needs to evaluate the occupancy level and based on the same if it is more than 75% then he can explain the same to the manager in a logical way to say "NO" to t
