4 Types of Craftsmen and Site Supervisors: Which One Are You? (Includes Tips)

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The other day, I came across an article like this on the "God of Construction" website.

This is a bit of a departure from the usual topic, but working with people who aren't good at their jobs is really frustrating, isn't it?

Frustration

I used to get annoyed, too, when I had to work with incompetent bosses and senior colleagues lol

And it's not like I'm saying I'm good at my job or anything.

I think that's pretty much it.

I think it comes down to compatibility.

 

When it comes to whether impatient people and laid-back people get along, that’s not really the case, is it?

Impatient people might want to get their work done as quickly as possible.

People who take their time might want to do their work carefully.

 

So, there’s something called Zecht’s organizational theory—please take a look at it.

Zecht's Theory of Organizations

1. A capable, hard-working person

2. The Competent Slacker

3. Incompetent Slacker

4. The Inept Hard Worker

 

Which one applies to you?

Or, where exactly does that annoying person fit in??

Please take some time to think it over.

 

Each and every one of them

1. Make capable, hardworking people your advisors.

We spare no effort to win

2. Make a capable slacker a front-line commander.

Win with Ease

3. Make even the most incompetent and lazy people soldiers.

I only do what I'm told, but that's enough.

4. Incompetent workers should be executed or exiled.

There is a risk that it will continue to execute the incorrect command indefinitely.

 

Who do you think would work well together at the company?

A company is all about balance.

 

For example,A Competent SlackerAn Incompetent Hard WorkerWhen you put these things together, you want hardworking employees who listen carefully to instructions so they can get the job done on-site with minimal effort, right?

Since the instructions are well-written, there’s no way to make a mistake. In that case, it’s well-balanced, isn’t it?

Combining 1 and 3 looks pretty good, doesn't it?

It’s hard to reconcile points 1 and 2, isn’t it? The atmosphere on site seems a bit tense, but it looks like we’ll be able to make some progress on the work.

If it's 3 and 4, you won't get any work done, lol. Aren't you just spacing out?? lol

 

Our work is something that humans could never do.

We always work as a team.

By working with people who make it easy to get things done, you’ll not only improve your efficiency but also be more likely to be recognized for your work.

Since we all need others to grow, when we help each other, we’re more likely to experience a synergistic effect (and vice versa).

 

If you have a clear understanding of where you stand, you can see what your next move should be, right?

When working with someone, try to assess their personality and behavior from as broad a perspective as possible.

Maybe it’s not that the person is incompetent, but rather that the approach (the way instructions are given) or the chemistry isn’t right. Or it’s entirely possible that they’re in the wrong position, right?

 

I believe that by taking a broader perspective, it is possible to maintain a balance within the company.

 

See you later.
