The Death of Expertise
Tom Nichols
The whole key, whether you are hiring, promoting, or managing for performance in the current job, is that you have clear expectations. Having a clear, focused approach helps us be better managers and therefore helps the people we hire have a higher likelihood of success.” Sure, we all want our employees to be great at everything, but in fact few are, and those who are may well demand higher salaries that make us pay for “features” that we don’t need. Remember, it’s all about the specific skill set you need, when you need it. “A scorecard forces the manager to make choices and be consistent with those choices,” Williams continued. “Scorecard management is hard, but it has great payback. Our hiring success rate has significantly improved, as well as slotting people into assignments that align well with their skills and gifts. The result of both is successful employees and a successful company.”
