Everyone likes to win, and most don’t enjoy failing. This becomes magnified in one’s professional life. People don’t show up to work each day and tell themselves, “I can’t wait to fail today.” Their struggle to find success may very likely be a consequence of working in a role that doesn’t fit their skillsets. I recently read a news publication claiming 72% of employed people are unhappy with their jobs. WOW! 72 out of 100 people are working in jobs they dislike. Why?
What is the value of a high-performing employee in a role vs. an underperformer? It’s well documented that every employee turnover costs a minimum of 40% of annual compensation of the role. Win by design. Be proactive, become the architect that designs the system to ensure your team doesn’t fall into the 72% of discontent employees roaming your hallways.
