One of the smartest spaces any business owner (you?) can create is a space to learn. In essence, to give your employees permission to grow. It sounds obvious, but it’s not all that common.
Many bosses and owners expect perfection and it’s easy for them to give work to those they know can get it done expertly instead of someone who it’s challenging for. There’s a certain risk associated with someone who might not have done a specific task before. Of course, that’s no reason not to assign it, but not everyone thinks that way.
The truth of it all is that company culture is hurt when there’s not permission to grow. Opportunity for growth is a serious component to employee happiness and retention.
The challenge, then, is to find that happy medium of having those experts on deck while also having those who have room to grow; by trusting them to stretch themselves on a tough task, by ensuring that the experts are there to mentor them, by caring enough to give them permission to suck, too.
Stay Positive & If You Have The Chance For It To Be A Win-Win, Why Not Take It?
