Strong Workers Start with Strong Managers

Imagine a business where every worker is engaged deeply in utilizing their talents to their highest ability. These workers want to express their abilities and develop new hobbies in their lives. They are self-interested and their self-interest creates benefits to organizations in terms of new products, innovation, new ideas, and more skilled work. Such workers would be beyond the typical nonchalant interest most workers express.

In order to develop millennium workers companies will also need millennium managers who can draw people's effort toward a vision that his higher then themselves. This is no small task for corporations to complete. Therefore, managers will need to be selected from the wider labor pool in order to better align workers needs with that of the organization. The three skills that will be needed above all others are charisma, logic, and occupational skill.

Charisma is a concept that encompasses personality traits that encourage people to get alone with others. Even though introversion has its place in the world it isn't the type of personality trait that is needed in a management position. Managers must know how to manage people and only secondary have the actual occupational skill. Personality testing, probationary periods, and "right fit" are likely to become more important concepts in business.

Logic is also of tantamount importance in a world that will require more scientific thought and problem solving abilities then before. If America wants to maintain its wealth then it will also need to have the most skilled employees in the world. These managers should have the ability to understand complex problems, inch out efficiency, and develop new ideas. However, it is not enough for them to do this for themselves they will also need to encourage their worker's do it as well.

Finally such managers must also move beyond charisma, logical thought and actually have the life-time experience to be valued by their workers. They should be strong occupational gurus who understand the work they are engaging in. In other words, they must know the work of their worker's if they hope to coordinate the multiple happenings of any particular day for a better final result.

Charisma, logic and skill will be some of the tools that managers will need to have. Each employee should learn to develop these skills within themselves in order to develop a brighter labor pool but also a workforce that is full engage in the solution instead of focusing on how to create the problems. Recruiting and developing engaged workers is not something easy and more of a cultural paradigm shift then anything else.
