Keeping your staff motivated and challenged is essential for your success as a manager as well as for the success of the organizations’ common interests and goals. When staff becomes unchallenged a number of problematic situations for you and your staff may arise.
When an employee is unchallenged enough and does not get opportunities to add value, this will certainly lead to boredom. This will eventually lead the employee to use the organizations’ computers and other assets to find another job or to do things that are of interest or perhaps even play some games to pass time.
As for me, I am bored to my head and so I decided to write about the situation which was created by a number of circumstances, but mainly by my supervisor’s inability to understand my full aspirations, potentials and real value I can add to the organization.
It is the manager’s responsibility to understand staff aspirations and goals and be able to unleash their full energy to attain their full potential. My advice is of course to all of you folks out there, do not get caught up in a situation like this. If you feel that your superiors aren’t realizing your full potential, and then start looking for a different job because things will not change unless the boss is changed.
