Day 7 in the 15 Day Attitude Challenge: Being a “good fit” for a job means the job is suited to your natural talents. When people find work that taps into their natural talents, they enjoy most of their tasks.

Instead of starting with, “Is this person good at this job?” I start with, “Is this person a good fit for this job?”

If the answer is “Yes”, based on a review of natural talents, then I explore whether or not the employee received adequate training for doing THIS JOB at THIS COMPANY.

After those questions have been answered, I can start to work with the person to discover together if the person likes the job and if the person is capable of doing the job.

If it turns out the person IS NOT a good fit for the job, I assist with transition plans to support the person finding a job that is a good match. I want people to be happy in their work and feel like they are good at what they do.

Too many times people stay stuck in jobs that aren't a good fit, and then these people become employees with attitude issues. They aren't happy and neither are the people who have to work with them.
