첫인상도 중요하지만 느긋한 파악이 더 중요하답니다...

스탭을 첫 인상으로만 파악하지 말고 진즉하니 시간을 들여서 파악함으로써 실수를 줄이라는 충고입니다.

특히 관리자나 리더분들에게 적합한 내용으로 보입니다.

 

--- MANAGEMENT TIP: FEBRUARY 20, 2009 ---

Don't Get the Wrong First Impression

In the first week of leading a new team, you'll probably sort your new employees
into two groups based on your perceptions of their intellect, cooperation, and
initiative: those you'll rely on, and those you won't.

This sorting is necessary, but risky. Labels stick. If you've erred in your
sorting, mislabeled employees will find it difficult to change your perceptions.
You'll manage them according to your beliefs (for example, micromanaging if you
think they need it) and they'll disengage.

To avoid this, test your first impressions. Get to know your employees.
Find out what they're good at and where they should develop. Your labels will be
more accurate, and your management approach more effective.
