Rewarding the wrong person can backfire. Here’s how:
- Demotivated Stars (Low Morale): Talented employees feel discouraged when passed over, impacting morale.
- Skill Gaps & Errors (Wrong Fit): Unqualified individuals struggle in new roles, leading to increased errors.
- Wasted Resources (Training in Vain): Investing time and money to train someone who may not succeed.
- Erosion of Trust (Broken Promises): Unfair promotions damage employee faith in leadership.
- Toxicity & Conflict (Resentment Brews): Resentment builds among qualified individuals who were overlooked.
- Poor Team Dynamics (Dysfunction Reigns): Unequipped leaders struggle to manage and inspire their team.
- Company Stagnation (Hindered Growth): Unqualified leadership can stall innovation and growth.
Promote for potential, not just tenure, to fuel success.
