Why Staff Management so difficult?
I work in a company where we change of team almost in each project, so develop a relationship based on trust is a continuous challenge for us.
Try to get a check list about the issues to take into account about this stuff is difficult, but I have been doing with a paper on my desktop, and the result is a partial list of things to take into account,
PMs and Resource Management.
- Have you defined the roles properly?
- Have you had the opportunity to interview them?
- Have you obtained employees with the right skills at the right time?
- How often do you have trouble with the matrix management?
- Do you send reports to the Team Leader about performance?
How do you build a team?
- Do you have a virtual team?
- Is there people offshore?
- Do you support when it’s needed?
- Have you provided the required infrastructure?
How do we adapt our management style ?
- Different countries,
- Different cultures,
- Different time zones.
How do we foster self-leadership?
- When do we allow employees to manage themselves?
- With some people you can do it,
- With others, you cannot; what do you do then?
- Most want empowerment and responsibility.
Where do we focus first?
- Do you show the direction clearly?
- Team,
- each team member.
What works and what doesn’t?
- Are you in a hurry to change a resource when its performance is not right?
How many time do you invest?
- Do you foster the relationship periodically?
- Do you work it only on crisis periods?
- In your meetings, is there a point to review the resources’ performance?
