TRANSFERITIS

A survey of personnel on posts who would ordinarily be considered for transfer brings to light certain factors which underlie WHY they are failing on post even while seeming to work at it.

A survey of personnel on posts who would ordinarily be considered for transfer brings to light certain factors which underlie WHY they are failing on post even while seeming to work at it.

People on personnel posts in companies have followed a 19th century psychological approach that if a person can’t do one post he can be transferred to another post to which he is better “adapted.” “Talent,” “native skill,” all sorts of factors are given. But if a person with all things considered in the first place is then found to do badly on that post, the second think of 19th century personnel was to transfer him to another post and yet another and another. The third think when again he fails is then to fire him.

Transferring under these circumstances is usually not only wrong for the person but strews the error all through the org.

CAMOUFLAGED HOLES

CAMOUFLAGED HOLES

A “camouflaged hole” means a hole in the org line-up that appears to be a post. Yet it isn’t a held post because its duties are not being done. It is therefore a hole people and actions fall into without knowing it is there. It can literally drive an org mad to have a few of these around. Camouflaged means “disguised” or made to appear something else. In this case a hole in the line-up is camouflaged by the fact that somebody appears to be holding it who isn’t.

Let’s take a Receptionist who doesn’t receive and route people. You will find the people in the org being fouled up by this. They all have to act after the fact of no Reception. This makes them handle Reception in the midst of a mess of Reception goofs. But there appears to be a Receptionist. If there were NO pretended Receptionist, people would at least know this and keep an eye out. But as there “is a Receptionist” who isn’t a Receptionist, all Reception actions have to be handled by others each time after there has been a goof! Guaranteed to mess up the environment and strain tempers more than somewhat.

An executive post is much harder to detect. Those below it are not aware of the skills the post needs and are only aware of trouble. Yet it easily can be just a camouflaged hole.

Given the fact that one is not dealing with a sick person or a scoundrel (any post requires that a person be fairly healthy and with a clean ethics record), for a person to be on a post and not doing it, he or she must be suffering from one or more of the following conditions:

Given a person on post not producing, TRANSFER is almost never the right answer. Yet it is the one most frequently done.
