Do You Have The Leadership Trait In You To Pick The Right Player For The Right Job? Learn To Be an Ace with Mind Mapping
from: Dr. Vj MariarajAn important aspect of leadership is having the ability to
choose the right people for the right job. This is a vital role
that leaders will invariably be called upon to perform. In any
team sport, a great deal of time is spent in picking the right
players for the game. Selection is done keeping these factors in
mind as player's skill, form, the right place in the team and
the likely opposition that the team will confront. As in sports,
in business too, leaders need to select the right team and
players for a particular job, assign them specific tasks in line
with their skills and proficiencies. To field a match-winning
team, you first need to understand the game to be played and the
skills and abilities required to play it. A football team cannot
play baseball if you aim to win at the top. Also, you have to
place the right player at the right position.
In order to make the right choice, you first need to simplify
the broader team goals into specific, individual tasks. You can
write down the task list and rank them in the order of priority.
You then have to analyze the competencies required to undertake
each task. Weighing the competencies of each team member and
assigning tasks that matches their competencies, will help you
in selecting the right candidate for the right job.
However, more often you will find that a person may excel in
certain areas but may be found wanting in others. Or you may
find an employee at a lower rung exhibiting similar skill power.
You may find such gaps and overlaps, revealing the need for
providing training in those areas where they are deficient.
Having back-ups for important tasks in case you lose key people,
and ensuring to have a diverse team than with similar background
are other critical factors involved in the process of selection.
Thus it will be obvious to you that recruitment is often an
elaborate process that begins with advertising, screening
resumes, administering test, interviewing candidates, selecting
the best candidates and giving them needed training. But the
whole set of tasks can be made simpler by using Mind Map.
Using Mind Maps you can clearly outline the specific job
position under a main heading and note down all the tasks that
the job entails under it. You can then explore at length the
traits that will be required for each of the tasks relating to
the job assignment. You can use particular color to distinguish
fundamental abilities/traits from the general qualities.
Similarly, you can frame a simple outline on those skills and
traits for testing the candidates. Highlighting these in a
different color, you can decide on the possible methodology that
will best bring these out from the candidates, in order to make
a proper evaluation. You can then have the basic criteria, not
just in terms of test ranking, but also in the soft skills that
the candidate brings in, such as communication abilities,
confidence level, attitude, disposition, etc.
Matching the hardcore competencies of a candidate with the soft
skills, you can set a minimum standard to be eligible for
interview. Ranking the candidates on all criteria and choosing
the best among them can be greatly facilitated by using Mind
Map. Utilizing symbols you can group all those candidates
revealing the need for training, and those excelling in most
areas for direct task handling.
When you integrate all these entire process of recruitment into
one major Mind Map, you will, at a glance, gain a comprehensive
picture of the full procedure involved. You will have complete
grip over your recruitment process of picking the right person
for the right job. Whenever you have new thoughts or ideas on a
particular aspect, you can easily incorporate them and
comprehend the links and associations between the various stages
of recruitment. All these and much more are possible with Mind
Map. Mind Map helps you to fine tune your recruitment process
and ensure you are on the right track to pick the right
candidate for the right job.
