Six Ways to Know if This is the Right Company for Me
In the book First Break All the Rules, authors Buckingham and Coffman
summarized 80,000 interviews done by the Gallop Organization into what
successful leaders and managers do differently. They understand that any
organization’s best asset is its talent. What I see as a critical facet of this
book is how you can translate this information into success for yourself as a
potential employee or business owner.
Gallop concluded that if an organization’s employees can answer “yes” to 12
key questions, the organization would attract, focus and keep the most
talented people. Of those 12 questions, they reported that the most powerful
ones are those six with a combination of the strongest links to the most
business outcomes. So I say if you are looking for work or building a
business, look for companies or build a culture where people can answer
“yes” to these six key questions:
1. Do I know what is expected of me at work?
2. Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?
3. Do I have the opportunity to do what I do best?
4. In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for good
work?
5. Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a
person?
6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?
Rule Break: If you are already employed and are unhappy, frame a
discussion with your manager with the questions above, as managers
understand how “no” answers to these questions affect business
outcomes. Don’t tell your manager you need more employees in your
department. Tell her that you can’t do what you do best which is produce
more for the organization because you are doing something less productive
than your skill set. Decreased productivity is always a red flag for managers.
And when you become a manager, if your employees can answer “yes” to
these questions, you will be running a very productive operation. Which
translates to greater success and more peace for you! Start now!
