BUSINESS PERSONNEL

Whether it’s a small/medium-size business, a not-for-profit organisation, a team or section of a larger business or organisation the introduction of new management personnel rarely yields the envisaged response or results quickly.

The introduction of new personnel is one of the most widely mishandled haphazard business actions. The manager rarely has the best idea of the ‘fit’ needed for new team members, and the introduction of new managers, especially in new management roles is most often greeted with skeptisism and resentment.  Where there is an internal career path and promotion policy it is critical to use this to the fullest extent before seeking external candidates. Resistance from unsuccessful internal candidates, and staff mistakenly loyal to the unsuccessful candidates tends to sabotage and obstruct performance and success. New management require more specific induction procedures which, when done well, minimise the resistance and risk to the business. The same applies for a change of ownership of an SME.
