How do you make good people decisions?

 

This is especially difficult if the person is more likely to know more about doing the job than the person that is making the hiring decision.

 

How do we determine the right training for an individual? If we make the decision for them - who owns the consequences of the decision?

 

How can we enable the learner to make their own decisions regarding training?

 

What are the obstacles to this?

 

Are there legal, financial and political obstacles?

 

What would be needed in order for job requirements and performance results to "trump" these obstacles?

I can remember when I made a career change - at age 37. I debated with my manager about my interests in attending a 3-week new hire class. It was important to me to attend the class - it was a "badge" that my peers had earned - and I wanted to relate to my peers as an equal - neither one who did not need the class nor one who would be at a disadvantage for having missed the class.

I did get to attend the class - the outcomes were positive - the most positive is that it did not damage the relationship with my manager. He is still someone I trust today - nearly 30 years later. In retrospect I believe he intentionally wanted to see if I had the fight in me - I am glad he did - it helped my self-confidence significantly. I am glad that this "conflict" occurred without legal, financial or political intervention. I know that others are not as fortunate.

What are your thoughts or questions about this "scenario?"
