70 / 365 Take Pride as People Developer
He isn't a real boss until he has trained
subordinates to shoulder most of his responsibilities.
William Father
Time is a limited resource and we have to
intelligently invest it. It is not how long you work. What is more important is
the ‘productivity’ of your time. Our aim should be to work less and produce
more.
One key factor which will decide your
effectiveness is the competency of your people. In your own interest you have
to develop and train them. Let us compare this with the automobile metaphor. If
you are the engine, your people are the subassemblies such as the wheels, the
gear box, the transmission, the brake and the accelerator. No matter how good
and powerful is the engine, if the subassemblies are not maintained properly,
the vehicle will not arrive at the destination at the right time!
Today, you list the people who work for
your project and evaluate their knowledge, skill and competency. Assess the gap which will affect your
project. Discuss with them and evolve a
strategy to develop them. Take pride as a people developer. When you develop
your people, both you and your people will be empowered!
Do this honestly!
