Development of others is all about SPENDING YOUR QUALITY TIME with others when it is required by others on different occasions to help them to improve their professional competency and to grow in life.
How can you develop others?
There are multiple methods you can develop others. Development efforts can be imparted to others in the following ways.
1.Teaching or Guiding about the work
2. Giving feedback
3.Coaching
1.Teaching or Guiding about the work :
This method is more about transferring your knowledge, experiences, insights about the job when assigning work to your team, or when the team is undergoing challenges during execution.
It is all about teaching, handholding others by being with them before and during execution.
For example, you may be the expert in “ Product costing, “ and if you are teaching or sharing relevant information, methods of calculating, typical failure modes, your experiences in different costing methods to your team member, then, that is teaching and guiding.
Sharing of knowledge to another requires passion, patience and good communication from your end.
As I observed a few senior people expecting others to do the job by saying “ what “ and not spending time on “How.“Their thought process is not to get into micromanagement or not to spoil the thinking process of others. We need to understand the difference between guiding and minute level instruction or follow-up.
By consciously shifting your effort on imparting your knowledge to others, development starts.
Let us discuss some insights about feedback and coaching next week!
Have a great week till then!
