Stop Giving People Choices
- by Coach Colle Davis
|
As a leader, stop giving people choices. By doing so, you will prevent them from struggling with decisions that most people are not trained to make. Instead of providing people with a choice, offer them a time frame to complete the task you want them to do.
|
An example: Would you prefer the chairs set up to face the left wall or the right? Better: Set up the chairs facing right before registration begins.
|
|
You are not offering them a choice.
|
Instead, you are giving them a task and a time frame.
|
The same option includes choosing a restaurant, a vacation, or a team to complete a project. Give the other person your preferred outcome and tell them to make the arrangements.
|
They will love you for taking away the awfulness of being forced to make a decision.
|
- Any decision involves suffering because it requires taking a risk.
- Risk-taking is an art form.
- Default positions are easy, and there are no decisions involved.
- Two choices mean delay, confusion, and misery.
- Three choices create a catatonic state.

Labor Shortage? Hire Old People
– by Coach Colle Davis
|
Colle bias reveal: I am an older gent. Many of my clients are also older, meaning over 45, and I’m drawing from over three decades of executive coaching experience; older is a better value proposition.
|
|
When you have openings and want to shorten the transition time and begin adding value to your organization faster, hire older people.
|
Coach’s Note: I seldom write for HR or hiring managers because my clientele is on the other side of the employment fence’s demographic. However, with the flurry of layoffs, and low unemployment records, here is my gift to that underrated group of people tasked with finding warm bodies to fill slots.
|
Here are some of the key benefits for hiring older people:
|
-
- They have established work habits and accept routines.
- They have refined listening skills.
- Older employees require less training in non-technical areas; plus, they know how to act in public.
- HR is hiring free trainers for their younger employees.
- Older employees may have rusty technology skills, but they can quickly polish them.
