Introduction to the New Course for Managers

Request Inc., a company specializing in Organizational Behavior Science®, recently released a new training program designed for managers. The course is entitled 'Increasing the Number of Subordinates Who Can Make Judgments.' It aims to enhance decision-making skills among employees through structured job design.

Course Details

This three-hour program incorporates innovative techniques grounded in Organizational Behavior Science®. Participants will engage in various activities that include:

• - Clarifying judgment structures through diagrams,
• - Mapping job responsibilities related to decision-making,
• - Identifying critical decision-making stopping points, and
• - Designing experiences that enhance judgment abilities.

The ultimate goal is to learn how to design work environments that foster decision-making capabilities. It acknowledges that the ability to make judgments in the workplace is not purely a matter of individual skill; rather, it stems from the design of the work itself.

The Importance of Job Design

Many organizations face a significant challenge where judgment responsibilities accumulate at the managerial level. This concentration of decision-making not only hinders the growth of organizational intelligence but also stifles the development of employees. By redesigning tasks that require judgment and clarifying where difficulties arise, managers can create a more empowering work culture.

In this course, managers will analyze their own organizations to:

• - Identify jobs that require critical decision-making,
• - Pinpoint areas where judgment processes tend to halt,
• - Define the judgments that their subordinates need to experience.

By addressing these points, the course facilitates the construction of a robust work structure that nurtures decision-making abilities among employees.

Addressing Common Managerial Challenges

The course responds to a pervasive concern among managers: a staggering 73% report that their subordinates frequently come to them for guidance, and that projects often stall midway. The root cause of these issues is often linked not to the competencies of the employees, but rather to the design of the work they are assigned.

By empowering subordinates to engage in their decision-making processes, managers can relieve some of the pressure from themselves, fostering a more independent and skilled workforce.
