Abstract
My experience indicates that there are two key elements in getting work
done through people. The first is to select the right person for each position
and the second is to give each staff member the training needed to do
the job well. I believe supervisors should be evaluated on and held accountable
for the degree to which their units contribute to the achievement
of organizational objectives. That is why, as a personnel director,
I believe supervisors must be given the authority to initiate recommendations
in the areas of staffing and training. They should be able to justify
their recommendations of who they believe should be hired and of what
training their staff members should receive. Thus, supervisors should
in turn receive the training they need in order to make and justify these
recommendations successfully.
