Essay / Importance of Decision Making - 993
If a manager has employees with the same strengths, he will never be able to see the work from different aspects. And sometimes it takes people with timid strengths to get the job done. Rather than having the same strengths within the same company, this can lead to problems and unnecessary competition in the workplace. Let's say for example that Kim is the manager of a fast food store and she handles hiring and firing. Kim has three different teams, but she wanted her first team to have employees with the same strengths as the competition. This caused ridiculous behavior in the work environment. Employees felt like they had to compete with everything. They had to be the best at everything, otherwise they were nothing at all. Kim notices that she made a mistake by choosing to work with employees with similar strengths. When hiring employees, Kim believed that if all of her employees had competition as their strength, her restaurant would excel over all other restaurants. Kim doesn't realize that too many of the same company's strengths would cause the company to go down instead of over. Kim immediately distributed employees across the three teams and then hired different employees with different strengths. This way, Kim has a mix of employees with different strengths, and this benefits each other and the restaurant benefits.
