Skills that individuals possessed.

Employees need to have the skill set needed to do a particular job effectively.

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

Page 5: Finalised Epm Assn 2

Hiring employees is challenging because

Wrong employee- Costly to the work environment - Time consuming - Expensive

Right Employee- Successful employment relationship- Greater employee productivity- Positive impact on the total work environment

Hence it is important to place employees where they can operate potentially out their strengths instead of their weaknesses

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

Page 6: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

Every employee plays a vital role in the company

In today's economy, companies cannot afford employees who are not contributing

Therefore, it is important for a manager to discuss the strengths and weaknesses with their employees.

Page 7: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

Why is there a need to discuss strengths?- It can help to develop employees’ strength even more, making them a better employee. - The employees can also develop a more positive work attitude

Why is there a need to discuss weaknesses?- Addressing weaknesses is also as important as addressing their strengths, maybe even more. - The only way that an employee can work on their weaknesses is by first acknowledging that they have them. - For those employees who are weak in the area that they are currently working on, they can improve their skills through training programmes, professional development, or receiving teaching and mentoring from someone who understands these skills well.

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

As quoted from the book, “As a shepherd, your choice of sheep can make flock management easier or harder.”

Managers need to carefully evaluate to determine whether the interviewees can be an addition to the team that they envision for the future accomplishment of goals.

Page 9: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - Strength

Here are some of the strengths that managers can look out for a “healthy” and productive employee:

Good communication skills Organizational skills Computer or technical skills Problem-solving skills Management skills Responsibility Professionalism Flexible Commitment Honesty/integrity Willingness to learn

Page 10: Finalised Epm Assn 2

As quoted from the book:

“It doesn’t matter how strong you are in a given area if you’re not motivated to exercise that strength, so I want to know what my people are passionate about. If I put them in areas that reflect their passions, they’ll arrive to work like they’ve been shot out of [a] cannon,” explained Dr. Neumann.

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

Page 11: Finalised Epm Assn 2

“Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines [him] self exceedingly tired. The little he has done [] comes to nothing, for want of finishing.”

Abraham Lincoln (September 30, 1859 in Address before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Societe)

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

Quote website: http://www.leadershipnow.com/passionquotes.html

Page 12: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - HeartAs a shepherd of your flock, how can you judge how passionate are your employees towards work? Or how each employees can judge their passion level for work…

Experience, believes in “I just do it”, action driven, exercise own goals, reactive!

Values real value learning, believes that he can influence, positive, builds and suggests ideas

Values survival, believes that no one listens, sensitive to self blame, struggles much and lives in confusion.

Values efficiency, believes that others make the decisions, neutral, place organisation goals first, rather critical detached

Page 13: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

Passion comes from many different sources within us.

The Passion Matrix measures two factors:

The perception of the value our work makes to our personal livesThe understanding of the value the business contributes to the world.

Many enlightened businesses now understand the benefits of helping their employees to appreciate and align these two sources of passion.

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

Other ways to discover the burning passion in your employees:

Simply finding out if someone can "get passionate" about a topic is telling. “In the past year I've watched two high level executives be asked to leave their jobs not because of expertise but a lack of emotional intelligence. Their superior cognitive intelligence simply couldn't overcome their inability to connect with people in meaningful ways.” said Steve Roesler

When someone does reveal a slight personal passion, ask the question, "How would you see that kind of excitement carrying over into your work?“

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

In the times of searching for a ‘passionista’ to join your flock, you as a leader has to be passionate recruiter too!

Be proactive and energeticLearns to motivate and inspire themselvesTranscends any visible or imaginary limitations and consistently thrivingHas a clear conviction of oneselfLearns from past mistakes and always endeavors to improve and better oneself

Page 17: Finalised Epm Assn 2

S.H.A.P.E - Heart

As a leader of your flock, you need to understand that people you manage set goals/ desires that are connected to their deepest thoughts; their passion.

You will do that if you are a good shepherd of your flock, be it you are a manager, coach, mentor, etc...

As Dr. Neumann often says, that’s the way of the shepherd.

http://www.halinagold.net/blog/?p=122 , blog post by Halina Goldstein, expressing her inner thoughts on how it was tough to be working without passion.

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can

alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind." - William James,

Psychologist

S.H.A.P.E - Attitude

Page 20: Finalised Epm Assn 2

There was once when all of us were tired but had to complete the assignment by that particular night. He just threw most of the thing (including the part that he was to do) to us and claimed that he was tired, resulting that he couldn’t think – not taking into consideration that we all were drained off as well. In the end, we did help to edit his part although our brain cells were completely killed.

What we feel?Not concern about how his team mates were going to deal with the rest of the assignments.No responsibility.

Real life experience 1

S.H.A.P.E - Attitude

Page 21: Finalised Epm Assn 2

Always wanting to choose the easiest part of the question.

What we feel?It is understood that everyone will go for the easiest task given, but if nobody volunteers to do the harder parts, then the whole assignment cannot be accomplished. He seemed selfish and to take advantage of the rest of the team mates in that sense that they will do the harder parts because they wouldn’t want to jeopardize their results.

Real life experience 2

S.H.A.P.E - Attitude

Page 22: Finalised Epm Assn 2

There was once we had to experiment our project outside for more evidences to prove on our stand and we all decided to meet up one day during the weekend for it. But he seemed no interest in going out with us and claimed that it wasn’t necessary for everyone to be present BUT it was a group project. And it was reasonable that everyone had to work together although there were not a lot of things to be done.

What we feel?Not committed at all, no motivation. From this, it can show that he does not support team work.

Real life experience 3

During 1 of the discussion, we faced disagreements while deciding to split tasks among one another.

We’ve drawn lot for who taking which question to be fair. Timme got the part which Eugene already had the answer. Eugene seemed unhappy about the fact that he got another question instead of Timme’s and not reluctant to do his part.
