Make Positive Consequences Vital To Effective People Management In 5 Specific Areas

Make Positive Consequences Vital To Effective People Management In 5 Specific AreasAuthor: Leon NooneConsequences are a major key in unlocking superior employee performance. Yet managers often consider consequences as they see them. They forget that from the employee perspective, the consequences may be quite different.1. Consequences For Whom? Like beauty, consequences are in the eye of the beholder. A project engineer sees the conclusion of a big civil project as a major achievement and the opportunity for a large cash bonus. For a tradesman it carries the prospect of unemployment. When making changes, make sure you build in consequences that your staff will see as positive in their terms.2. Peer Pressure. As a manager you may have lots of formal power. But informal power is important too. Most employees are very conscious of how their peers think. The prospect of derision and disapproval by peers can influence their behaviour in ways quite unfamiliar to you. Encouraging staff to do work or take "opportunities" that may isolate them from their peers is a consequence you need to consider carefully.3. Threat And Opportunity. Your new operating system reduces errors, saves time, cuts tedious clerical work and co-ordinates information from various sources. It's a wonderful improvement. That's not necessarily the opinion of the loyal senior employee who may see his 25 years service threatened.
