Business is a tricky thing
Let us talk today about role clarity in companies and organizations. What is role clarity? I will tell from experience that sometimes we just make it difficult to understand when the fact is that it is really simple but the trick is not the simplicity of what role clarity is but how do we as owners make it clear to understand to our employees.
Role Clarity is simply making sure that employees understand their role in the company clearly. The owners and managers need to make sure that once an employee is hired that person is set up for success by making sure that they understand their role and what are their expectations via the company or the owner and managers.
So what Am I saying here,well let us see now: I can tell you that sometimes as a manager or an owner we forget to train our staff properly thus for they have no idea what the expectations are. I believe that everyone wants to do a good job and turn out good satisfying work for their employer. I also understand the employees side of the role as well example:
As an owner see the potential of an employee and understand their talents and perhaps this employee has a better understand on their job and knows how it works and really is a smart and professional person. A project is given to the manager to complete but that manager is not very knowledgeable but accepted the project anyway.
The manager will then seek out his talented employee and start to tell him that he will be leading a project but the manager will be overseeing making sure it is completed on time. (The manager will tell him/her employee) how great they are and that is why they ere chosen to lead. Perhaps this has happened to you or know someone that has gone through this. The employee will get it done and do a great job.
The manager will then take the finished product turn it in and take all the credit for the completion of the project. Then awards are to be given and the employee is told that they will be attending the ceremony and then at the end find out that the budget was cut and there was only enough money for the management team to attend!! What do you think just happened to that employees moral? That employee will feel used and worse feel unappreciated.
I have seen it happen so many times in the corporate world that when it happens elsewhere it just makes me sad to see the employee feel that he/she were used. This happens when managers are given the position and they are not completely incompetent but have a poor understanding of people relations and have poor communication skills.
What will happen now is conflict and it could get ugly between employees and managers. This why it is so important that there is always clarity on an employees job description and a managers role to manage and understand their role and be able to communicate with employees with an open mind.

What will happen as well is that there will be stress on both managers and employees and manager must know how to manage this by speaking to individuals involved and put a stop immediately or else there could be chaos.
Another solution can be to address the stress levels between employees and managers by informing employees that the project was for the benefit of the entire staff and thank the employees publicly and give them their due credit this will pacify the employees involved long enough so that you can have a one on one crucial conversation.
