How to Get Job Done Through People.

Most of us get the job done through people if we have to achieve greater target / goal which requires multiple task to be done simultaneously., isn't it?

If you say yes it's true then we must find out strategies to get the task done through people. We can identify the strategies if we are able to understand the process of getting the job done through people which can be subdivided into four stages such as

1. Preparation: During preparation stage, we must make people to understand the task, identify the objectives and pre plan to enable them to get organized.

2. Organizing:
During this stage, detailed planning is to be done by defining the resources & constraints, obtaining the informations needed to make decisions, decide priorities, agree course of action and define the authority and responsibilities.

3. Implementation: During this stage monitoring controlling and providing support such as encouraging /assisting without interferring is required to achieve desired result.

4. Evaluation:
This stage is also important in reviewing (to adjust / reallocate if required) to reward people for their contribution in achieving the task which will motivate them to do the task more efficiently in future.

I am sure you will agree with me that we can find out whether above mentioned strategies are suitable or not only if we apply the same into the process.

Pro-active behaviour - How important is it ?

As we all know Pro-active behaviour is in contrast (opposite) to reactive behaviour which can be defined in simple terms as follows:

"Acting before event(s)"
"Taking the iniative"
"Exploring Opportunities to Contribute"

Though Management of Professional Task(s) require both Pro-active and reactive behaviour., the task could be well managed through Pro-active planning as it provides structured way of identifying the main aspects of the job to meet the responsibilities.

I am sure most us will agree that being Pro-active is important., isn't it?

Some simple steps which can help us to become Pro-active are

1. Identify Key Responsibility Area and start thinking as follows
2. What are my main responsibilities
3. What iniatives do i have to take in each area.

Once we identify the above then we have to set deadlines for specific task by allocating time.

4. Monitoring the progress is also part of pro-active behaviour as monitoring will help us to change our strategies in time.

TO SUCCESS.
