Most employees
want promotions sooner, rather than later. We can all relate to that sense of
urgency.
But your
employee could want a promotion for reasons that could make him ineffective,
warns expert Don Tinney. According to him, those reasons include:
·
Money
driven—seeking the pay increase
·
Control
driven—wanting to have control over others
·
Ego
driven—wanting the recognition or status of the job title
·
Entitlement
driven—believing he deserves it
·
Socially
driven—wanting to work with friends
·
Ignorance—not
understanding the entire scope of the seat
“Filling a seat
simply because someone says they want it can be dangerous for many reasons,” he
advises on a recent AOS Worldwide blog post. “Look and listen beyond those
initial expressions of interest for indicators of the true want.”
