Every company has a ceiling, or a number of ceilings, which prevent employees from reaching new heights.
Whether it’s a function of the org chart, or the limitations of internal systems, or lack of new and different work, people are going to hit some stopping points and make some choices:
- Push at the extremities
- Coast
- Look for an exit
There’s another option: dance. That’s when management steps in to initiate employee engagement that promotes both individual and company growth. Like sending people to training. Or assigning people to spearhead internal programs.
Dancing on the ceiling, when done well, results in profound change for all parties.
It also helps the ceilings fade away.
Might be worth some time to examine the ceilings at your office. Too many of them and people are likely to stumble.
