Incompleteness of logic
Edward Hay created most famous job evaluation approach

Each job need knowledge,
therefore the First factor for evaluation
is Know how
Each job needs to solve problems
Therefore second factor is Problem solving
Each job has responsibility for the resultTherefore, up to Edward
Hay, last factor is Accountability

Here is one strange
assumption
The schools, Universities and MBA are providing knowledge needed for
business environment?
What will happens if we’ll
use different approach?
Most jobs require just basic Wisdom?
Here is another strange
assumption made by E. Hay
For problem solving you can only use a % from
Know how
What will happens if we’ll
use different approach?
The most effective problem solving is not an individual but a group work? In this
case you can multiply knowledge in hundreds!
Here is one more strange assumption
That some one from the TOP can see the future and to
show the right path to others
The chess play
If you want to evaluate your first move with one figure
from 12 possible and a possible competitor’s response - you
need to count approximately 144 possibilities
If two steps? If three?
Looking into todays future
labyrinth, leads ten equivalent roads.Where to find a genius
who will say which road to take?
Why not to evaluate just
courage to do first step to “no where”?Or help to make a group
step?
The biggest lack is not accountability and responsibility, but
courage to make step to “nowhere”, e.g. to make
continuous changes. The most popular path for TOP
management is to live according with internal fear of
failure, what means is to continue doing the same things according to instructions and
people that complain..
The management based on financial numbers -
the best way to hide your own fear to show lack of
personal knowledge In spite of helping to find the solution, very often
TOP manager requires to take full responsibility for
results.
What to change to?
At first - mindset1. People are good. E. Goldratt. If not -
it’s the best time to fire your HR department
2. Employees are adult! R. Semler. If not, you are Nanny in a kinder garden.
Wake up, you are not so old 3. Release your employees from
monotony slavery. Only not working employees can continuously improve your organization and to find joy at
work. Use their brain, not muscles - the main rule for 3tonis Flow management.
