Ask a Manager
OCTOBER 26, 2016
A reader writes: When being asked by a hiring manager “why are you looking to leave your job,” one of the common advised response is “I’m looking to take on a new challenge.” Do you think that answering with “I’m looking to take on a new challenge” can be interpreted as admitting that the candidate (me) is not qualified or lacks the experience?

Everybody knows that the most common reason for quitting is that an employee doesn't like the boss. Lots of people take this to mean that bosses whose employees quit are horrible people who yell and scream and micro-manage everything from font size to the type of fingernail polish allowed in the office. Those bosses absolutely exist, but there are other types of bosses that are generally good bosses—even generally great bosses—that still do little things that drive good employees insane.

When I speak about HR strategy, one of the things that inevitably comes up is that it’s hard to plan ahead. Things change. The business changes. The objectives shift. It makes it difficult to pin down the right HR strategy to support the organizational goals. And that’s okay. Death, taxes, and change are the things we can count on in this life.

Many people find it difficult wrapping their heads around the idea of a personal brand. There’s kind of existential struggle for identity that has brand atheists screaming ‘I am not a brand; I am a human being ‘The problem with this fractured line of argument is it’s locked into a specific definition, currency and expectation of branding. Great branding is far from that.

Every manager wants a team that can work on three or four different tasks at the same time, don’t they? An effective worker should be able to pivot from their day-to-day tasks to respond to emails or requests from clients and management or jump on an urgent task as it comes up. After all, a team that can multitask will get twice as much work done in half the time, right?

Close your eyes. Imagine you’re a manager and you have 10 employees that you’re responsible for. Notice I didn’t say “10 employees who work for you”. That was on purpose. As a manager your REAL job regardless of what you think or what your manager thinks, isn’t to get the most out of people listed “under you” on the org chart. Your REAL job is to help those on your team get what THEY need WHILE achieving company objectives.

People hate meetings… and for good reason. Leadership knows they are expensive , and take up time that could be better spent on producing actual outcomes. Managers can find it difficult to facilitate them without having a process in place. Employees can find them to be boring or a waste of time. But meetings don’t have to be that way. Managers and other company leaders can be more intentional about which meetingsto have and which ones to skip, and who really needs to be there.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise.
