Right People - Right Seats 🪑

I’m stoked you’re here! At Glory Visuals, we believe in the power of teamwork — you know..teamwork makes the dreamwork? Yea that sort of thing — and the strategic placement of individuals within an organization. So today, we want to delve into a crucial aspect of organizational success – putting the right people in the right seats.

The business world is hard and we understand the importance of assembling a team where each member plays to their strengths. Does that sound familiar? (The Avengers, that’s where we got the idea 😉). When individuals are placed in roles that align with their skills, passion, and expertise, it sets the stage for unparalleled efficiency, collaboration, and innovation. All things you definitely want to optimize if you’re a business owner or leader. But HOW though? That’s the question. If it was easy, everyone would do it and nobody would be dissatisfied or bad at their jobs. Unfortunately, it’s not always so easy, but we’ve got 3 helpful tips to get you moving in the right direction!

Here are three practical tips to help you ensure that your team is functioning at its highest level:

1. Conduct a Skills Audit: Begin by assessing the skills and strengths of each team member. Identify their areas of expertise, passions, and where they excel. You can do this by using tools like High 5 Test or Clifton StrengthsFinder. This insight will provide a clear picture of where each individual can make the most significant impact within the organization.
2. Encourage Open Communication: Foster an environment where team members feel comfortable expressing their strengths, weaknesses, and career aspirations. Encourage open communication about individual goals and how they align with the overall objectives of the company. Engaging in non-work related conversation with your team is a great way to learn who they are, how they function, and what they love. This dialogue creates opportunities for strategic role adjustments and ensures everyone is working towards a shared vision.
3. Implement Cross-Training Programs: Embrace a culture of continuous learning and development by implementing cross-training programs. Use tools like Udemy to teach skills in addition to shadowing colleagues. This not only enhances the skill sets of your team but also allows individuals to explore different roles within the organization. It also shows your teams you are willing to invest actual dollars into their personal and professional growth. Cross-training promotes versatility and ensures that there is flexibility in task assignments, ultimately contributing to a more adaptable and resilient team.
   
   

The benefits of placing the right people in the right seats are multifaceted. Increased efficiency, improved collaboration, or how about happy, satisfied employees? These are just a few of the positive outcomes that can significantly impact your company's success.

Remember, success is not just about individual achievement but about how well a team collaborates to achieve a common goal. So make sure you’re giving your team the best possible opportunity to be able to do that. At Glory Visuals, we aren’t perfect, but we’re committed to supporting you like you’ve supported us in hopes that we’re all getting better every single day.
