Ever heard the expression "what gets measured gets done"?

Well the same applies in the world of employee assessment.coach flats shoes If you can measure in some way someone's abilities or potential and use this as a yardstick, then you can start to benchmark the best people in your team with the others. What is it that defines the best from the rest? Wouldn't it be good to know?

Of course, all assessments must be aligned with the objective of developing the individual and where relatively weak performers are concerned, these "areas for improvement" need to be linked to a programme of training with improvement objectives in place and a timeframe for better sales results.

Where an individual's competencies are shown on the assessment as not being aligned with the competencies required in the role, and these are borne out by poor sales results,coach sandals then a consultation with that person is required. It maybe they are uncomfortable in the role anyway and a redeployment into a more suitable position is what they desire. If so, redeploy and recruit someone else with the correct competency/ behavioural profile. This should lead to an increase in performance and more sales.

If a poorly performing person does not respond to training & development, and after consultation, is not interested in re-deployment into a role more suited to them e.g from external sales to internal sales, then the option of fair dismissal via the disciplinary procedure is the most appropriate route for changing out mis-aligned competencies.

The use of the online sales assessment is the fairest way to provide an individual with the opportunity of seeing for themselves where their skills are best deployed. In all cases where the employment of people is affected by assessment decisions, agreement from both parties is important.Coach Kristin
If necessary, seek legal advice if voluntary agreement is not possible.

In summary, an online sales assessment is a more objective method of measuring competence / behaviours in a sales context. It does not rely on the subjective views of the Sales Manager (although he/she will have a view). It provides a framework for training / development and it allows both the Sales Manager and the salesperson a reference point in which decisions on future options for re-deployment can be made and performance be measured against.Coach Flats
The benchmark will always be the top performer in the team and as the standard of recruit improves with the re-deployment of poorer performers, then the overall sales revenues will increase - sounds like good business sense to me!

After I found out about my spouses affair, my emotions where completely shredded. I couldn't even hold a rational thought in my mind for more than three seconds. I did however realize that marriage is a team effort, and as such, there was a part of me that wanted to shoulder some of the blame for my spouse's cheating.

Don't you dare make the same mistake!

Only accept responsibility for problems IN your marriage

I understand that no marriage is perfect and some marriages have some really big problems. It is important to take ownership over your contributions to the internal problems of the marriage. For me, I was selfish. To say it another way, I was full of myself. I could do anything, I could move mountains and there was nothing anyone could do or say that would tell me otherwise. I never stopped to think that my wife might see things in another light and that my self-centered nature was really hurting her feelings. It took me awhile to realize this, but I will hold that story for another article. The important thing is I accepted this about myself and moved forward with improving. The point is, this was an internal problem, only accept responsibility for your actions inside the marriage. You have absolutely no responsibility for the action your husband/wife took outside of the marriage. Your responsibility comes now, post-affair.

Let's take a look at 3 key responsibilities you have now:

Key Responsibility 1: Your Life
Its your life and no one (not even a cheating spouse) can ever take that away from you. You are responsible for your future happiness, success, triumphs and failures. You are the master of your destiny.

Sure, you wish the affair never happened and gutted you the way that it has.kristin leather hobo But it's what you do now that really matters to learn what you can from this horror and move forward with your life. You can let this affair become your excuse as to why you are so down trodden and sullen or the affair can become your reason why you are so confident, strong and successful. The choice is yours.

Key Responsibility 2: Living in Reality
Just because you made it your reason doesn't mean you will now be able to wave a wand and make everything all better. You are going through a completely emotional time right now and many of the images in your mind are beyond your control. Understand that this is normal for anyone in your position. You will need to work through those emotions and stop the slew of nightmare images. This is a painful process but in the end you will become a stronger, healthier and more confident person.

Key Responsibility 3: Your Spirit/Pray
If you don't own a Bible, go out and get one.Coach Kristin bags I know for a fact that any church would give you one for free if asked. Take time to read it and get in touch with God again. The lessons He teaches us about forgiveness, responsibility, and love are laid out perfectly in his word. He brings comfort to those who seek it and gives strength to those who need it. Call upon Him and He will answer. I cannot stress this one enough, I don't think I could have made it a day without Jesus Christ. He held me up when all I wanted to do was fall down. He pointed me in the right direction when all I wanted was to go in the wrong one. I promise to write another article explaining this in further detail. For now, seek comfort in prayer and reflection in His word.
