The Right People in an Organization

It is clear that having the right people in an organization will make the most significant impact as to how well the business operates. Having the right people in the organization, in the right position, doing the right things at the right time is critical. And, having the courage to understand that for some people, the job or the company is not right for them, and that they need to move on for their benefit and for the health of the organization.

This is why larger organizations are usually dysfunctional and difficult to change; the negative, disengaged employees are not only present in large numbers, they have been in place for a long time, making it all that much more difficult to change the speed and direction to achieve the desired results. That is not to say that the same problems don’t exist at smaller firms; they do. The difference is that in a smaller firm, there are fewer places to hide.

Central to organizational success is having the best possible managers in place. That does not mean promoting the best engineer to a management role; the skills required for success in either position are vastly different. A great manager has the right skills means having the necessary talent and skills and the ability to get results through people.

All of these things can be in place and working well (clear expectations, a unifying mission statement, the right people, all focused on the right results) and it will mean next to nothing without strong and effective leadership. A major responsibility of leadership is to make certain that effective managers are in place. Too many managers serve as roadblocks to progress, do not have the right skills and have set a personal agenda before that of the organization.
