FREE online courses on CRM - Developing People-The Key To Success - Take Them Higher - Career  Plan

 

In “Goodbye, Mr. Chips”, James Hilton narrates the dull career of the faithful Mr. Chipping who joins Brookfields School as a young teacher, thwarted lifelong in the realization of his late-blooming ambitions by a Headmaster and School Board who do not give him the recognition he so richly deserves. But it is in two separate phases of two World Wars that it is Chips, still enamored of the school and the job, who comes out of retirement to fill the breach…. and to become a living legend.
 

There are numerous reasons why people get stuck in organizations:

·         Lack of forward planning

·         Inadequate expertise in the manpower department

·         Employee's own boss

 

Blocking subordinates' promotions is self-defeating… it shows insecurity, a mean streak and inferiority complex. A wise boss will give tasks that use the person's own inner potential to make him grow, to produce satisfaction when the job is done. We feel best about ourselves when we do a difficult job successfully, performing at the outer limits of our capabilities.

 

 

Organizations are becoming leaner with fewer hierarchical strata. Change is more organic than lateral, and job satisfaction/motivation/ development will come from avenues other than upward mobility. Middle Managers, described as having ‘plateaud' when they have crossed 45, are ‘stuck'. It is a waste of human resources if such people are not ‘revitalized, perhaps by getting mentoring assignments or by participating in quality circle/ task force / projects. They can make further contribution, and in any case, the motivation in a job tends to fade after 4 or 5 years so revival / renewal plans must be ready.

 

QUESTIONS: 

 

 1.  How and why do people stop growing in organizations?  Is there any way in which this wastage can be stopped?

 

2. Give a case study illustrating a case of a ‘stuck' middle-level manager, who has to be ‘unstuck'. Give reasoning to bring the thought processes behind decisions.
