Marilou is a supervisor in a government
office who aspires for the next higher level position. She’s a hard worker and
has meet the minimum qualification for the job opening. Joanna on the other hand is also aspiring for
the same promotion and basing on her sterling credentials it should be her who
should be promoted.
What is your standard when you recommend
a subordinate for promotion? Do you usually go for the most qualified? Or you
go for the hard worker who meets the minimum qualification? To go for the hard
worker is always the wisdom filled choice.
Not only that this employee will continue
to work hard when promoted. You can also groom him/her to handle bigger
responsibilities as the need arises. A hard worker is also a self-starter, he/she
is always willing to learn, has initiative and can even sacrifice his/her
personal time for work. He/she may do this by bringing his/her work home so
that he/she could finish her task.
On the other side of the fence is the
worker with sterling credentials. Why would you not choose him/her? He will not
be chosen for the simple reason that credentials can’t work! They are simply training certificates and
educational transcripts which are useless when the worker who holds it is lazy
and corrupt. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
