The great challenge of the 21 century (PART II)
The great challenge of the 21st century
In the previous issue raised was the importance of the challenge of improving the productivity of knowledge worker. It also defined what was a knowledge worker as well as their characteristics. In this issue we analyse its responsibilities to the employee to improve their productivity and leave for the next corresponding to the company.
Responsibilities of the knowledge worker
Being a knowledge worker implies self, that is, concentrate on the task, time management, take responsibility for their own development and growth and for the results generated.
The definition of the task is a key issue. There is evidence that the mere fact of answering this question, lets increase productivity.
What is the task? What is the task?
Answering the question about what the task requires the employee to define what is the unique contribution that he or she can then decide on the task at hand.
Ask, for example, what is the task of a nurse. Suppose that the answer is caring for patients. It means that change the water the flowers that bring visitors, answering telephone calls from relatives of patients, fill roles, tasks are not where nurses can make its unique contribution, are tasks that could be made by another employee, not the qualifications required of a nurse, and charged that a salary less than a nurse.
