The Eight Most Common Reasons Why People Fail
Well, we have had two weeks of “topics” and so this week, the final few days of the month, I am going to mix it up a little and maybe, just maybe, be a little controversial.
Today, I highlight the eight most common reasons people fail.
As the Leader, the responsibility for ensuring that every member of your team is successful lies entirely with; here then are the eight most common reasons why they fail:
• Wrong or no selection process - The wrong person for the position.
• Wrong or no training - Insufficiently developed.
• Wrong or no planning - Expected to do all of their own planning.
• Wrong or no supervision - Left without competent supervision.
• Wrong or no motivation - Not properly motivated to meet objectives.
• Wrong or no stimulation - Not stimulated by appropriate incentives.
• Wrong or no evaluation - Not regularly appraised against a set of agreed. objectives
• Wrong or no executive action - Not adequately supported by a competent. manager
In Summary:
This list, whilst not exhaustive, remains extremely accurate and as I said earlier, the Leader has total control over each of these, including the last one!!
Do you agree?
If you abhor Voicemail as much as I do, you will enjoy reading the thoughts of my good friend Colleen Francis on the subject here
Tomorrow, I share with you why one off leadership development programmes don’t work and why they rarely provide a reasonable return on investment - I said we might be getting a little more controversial!
