Way back in 1959, management expert Peter Drucker coined this phrase to describe people whose main skillset was to \u2018think for a living rather than wait to be told what to do and when to do it. They\u2019re highly independent, confident in their abilities to do their job well, and need little supervision in completing any given tasks. However, this brings up the question, how do you manage these people and motivate them to produce a consistently high standard of work?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll let you in on a couple of not-so-secret practices that we do here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dovico.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dovico<\/a> to ensure our employees remain secure (and happy) in how they go about their daily routine. Here are three things we do to keep the Dovico \u2018machine\u2019 running smoothly.

Managers no longer have to watch over the worker to ensure they\u2019re actually doing what they\u2019re supposed to be doing. After all, no one likes being micromanaged and told daily what they need to do in order to achieve goals, and knowledge workers are especially prone to taking offence to someone breathing down their neck. Give them a clearly defined outline of what you expect from them\u2026 and then let them run with the ball. Periodic check-ins are okay, but for the most part, leave them be to use their superpower which is their mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-885c37d ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dp-2-have-clear-channels-of-support\">DP# 2 &#8211; Have Clear Channels of Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-42a63b3 ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-dp-1we-love-hiring-knowledge-workers-as-it-saves-management-time-and-effort-managers-no-longer-have-to-watch-over-the-worker-to-ensure-they-re-actually-doing-what-they-re-supposed-to-be-doing-after-all-no-one-likes-being-micro-managed-and-told-daily-what-they-need-to-do-in-order-to-achieve-goals-and-knowledge-workers-are-especially-prone-to-taking-offense-to-someone-breathing-down-their-neck-give-them-a-clearly-defined-outline-of-what-you-expect-from-them-and-then-let-them-run-with-the-ball-periodic-check-ins-are-okay-but-for-the-most-part-leave-them-be-to-use-their-superpower-which-is-their-mind-dp-2-have-a-support-system-in-place-as-a-back-up-knowledge-workers-function-best-if-they-know-that-there-is-a-designated-person-s-they-can-turn-to-for-further-information-if-they-need-it-knowing-in-advance-that-max-is-available-for-a-short-clarification-meeting-if-needed-removes-a-lot-of-pressure-and-stress-from-the-shoulders-of-the-employee-however-if-you-find-that-employee-esmerelda-is-constantly-asking-max-for-direction-then-you-may-want-to-rethink-your-decision-in-getting-her-involved-in-completing-that-specific-task-and-recognize-her-knowledge-would-be-better-suited-for-another-assignment-or-even-an-alternative-department-in-your-company-dp-3-listen-the-more-you-listen-and-pay-close-attention-to-what-your-workers-say-to-you-the-better-you-will-be-at-forming-concrete-solutions-to-help-them-resolve-any-issues-that-may-pop-up-in-their-job-in-fact-we-invite-active-participation-and-feed-back-from-all-our-workers-sometimes-the-best-and-smartest-ideas-come-from-brainstorming-sessions-and-seeking-input-from-our-staff-we-ve-learned-to-pay-attention-to-what-they-have-to-say-and-also-note-their-body-language-when-they-re-speaking-as-that-shows-volumes-how-they-feel-about-any-given-issue-and-i-m-not-talking-just-about-what-type-of-coffee-is-brewed-in-the-kitchen-area-here-even-though-that-may-be-important-to-most-i-m-referring-to-listening-to-their-thoughts-that-generate-thousands-of-dollars-in-revenue-from-new-products-ideas-etc-that-ultimately-benefits-everyone-in-short-we-treat-all-our-staff-as-valued-human-beings-whose-opinions-and-contributions-to-our-company-matter-after-all-they-re-our-biggest-asset-and-we-feel-every-business-should-take-particularly-good-care-of-what-affects-their-bottom-line-the-most-namely-their-people\">Have a support system in place as a backup. Knowledge workers function best if they know that there is a designated person(s) they can turn to for further information if they need it. Knowing in advance that Max is available for a short clarification meeting if needed removes a lot of pressure (and stress!) from the shoulders of the employee. However, if you find that employee Esmerelda is constantly asking Max for direction, then you may want to rethink your decision in getting her involved in completing that specific task and recognize her knowledge would be better suited for another assignment or even an alternative department in your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-39a4944 ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dp-3-listen\">DP # 3 &#8211; Listen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-4acf505 ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-dp-1we-love-hiring-knowledge-workers-as-it-saves-management-time-and-effort-managers-no-longer-have-to-watch-over-the-worker-to-ensure-they-re-actually-doing-what-they-re-supposed-to-be-doing-after-all-no-one-likes-being-micro-managed-and-told-daily-what-they-need-to-do-in-order-to-achieve-goals-and-knowledge-workers-are-especially-prone-to-taking-offense-to-someone-breathing-down-their-neck-give-them-a-clearly-defined-outline-of-what-you-expect-from-them-and-then-let-them-run-with-the-ball-periodic-check-ins-are-okay-but-for-the-most-part-leave-them-be-to-use-their-superpower-which-is-their-mind-dp-2-have-a-support-system-in-place-as-a-back-up-knowledge-workers-function-best-if-they-know-that-there-is-a-designated-person-s-they-can-turn-to-for-further-information-if-they-need-it-knowing-in-advance-that-max-is-available-for-a-short-clarification-meeting-if-needed-removes-a-lot-of-pressure-and-stress-from-the-shoulders-of-the-employee-however-if-you-find-that-employee-esmerelda-is-constantly-asking-max-for-direction-then-you-may-want-to-rethink-your-decision-in-getting-her-involved-in-completing-that-specific-task-and-recognize-her-knowledge-would-be-better-suited-for-another-assignment-or-even-an-alternative-department-in-your-company-dp-3-listen-the-more-you-listen-and-pay-close-attention-to-what-your-workers-say-to-you-the-better-you-will-be-at-forming-concrete-solutions-to-help-them-resolve-any-issues-that-may-pop-up-in-their-job-in-fact-we-invite-active-participation-and-feed-back-from-all-our-workers-sometimes-the-best-and-smartest-ideas-come-from-brainstorming-sessions-and-seeking-input-from-our-staff-we-ve-learned-to-pay-attention-to-what-they-have-to-say-and-also-note-their-body-language-when-they-re-speaking-as-that-shows-volumes-how-they-feel-about-any-given-issue-and-i-m-not-talking-just-about-what-type-of-coffee-is-brewed-in-the-kitchen-area-here-even-though-that-may-be-important-to-most-i-m-referring-to-listening-to-their-thoughts-that-generate-thousands-of-dollars-in-revenue-from-new-products-ideas-etc-that-ultimately-benefits-everyone-in-short-we-treat-all-our-staff-as-valued-human-beings-whose-opinions-and-contributions-to-our-company-matter-after-all-they-re-our-biggest-asset-and-we-feel-every-business-should-take-particularly-good-care-of-what-affects-their-bottom-line-the-most-namely-their-people\">The more you listen and pay close attention to what your workers say to you, the better you will be at forming concrete solutions to help them resolve any issues that may pop up in their job. In fact, we invite active participation and feedback from all our workers. Sometimes the best (and smartest) ideas come from brainstorming sessions and seeking input from our staff. We\u2019ve learned to pay attention to what they have to say and also note their body language when they\u2019re speaking as that shows volumes of how they feel about any given issue. And I\u2019m not talking just about what type of coffee is brewed in the kitchen area here, even though that may be important to most. I\u2019m referring to listening to their thoughts that generate thousands of dollars in revenue from new product ideas etc. that ultimately benefits everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-dp-1we-love-hiring-knowledge-workers-as-it-saves-management-time-and-effort-managers-no-longer-have-to-watch-over-the-worker-to-ensure-they-re-actually-doing-what-they-re-supposed-to-be-doing-after-all-no-one-likes-being-micro-managed-and-told-daily-what-they-need-to-do-in-order-to-achieve-goals-and-knowledge-workers-are-especially-prone-to-taking-offense-to-someone-breathing-down-their-neck-give-them-a-clearly-defined-outline-of-what-you-expect-from-them-and-then-let-them-run-with-the-ball-periodic-check-ins-are-okay-but-for-the-most-part-leave-them-be-to-use-their-superpower-which-is-their-mind-dp-2-have-a-support-system-in-place-as-a-back-up-knowledge-workers-function-best-if-they-know-that-there-is-a-designated-person-s-they-can-turn-to-for-further-information-if-they-need-it-knowing-in-advance-that-max-is-available-for-a-short-clarification-meeting-if-needed-removes-a-lot-of-pressure-and-stress-from-the-shoulders-of-the-employee-however-if-you-find-that-employee-esmerelda-is-constantly-asking-max-for-direction-then-you-may-want-to-rethink-your-decision-in-getting-her-involved-in-completing-that-specific-task-and-recognize-her-knowledge-would-be-better-suited-for-another-assignment-or-even-an-alternative-department-in-your-company-dp-3-listen-the-more-you-listen-and-pay-close-attention-to-what-your-workers-say-to-you-the-better-you-will-be-at-forming-concrete-solutions-to-help-them-resolve-any-issues-that-may-pop-up-in-their-job-in-fact-we-invite-active-participation-and-feed-back-from-all-our-workers-sometimes-the-best-and-smartest-ideas-come-from-brainstorming-sessions-and-seeking-input-from-our-staff-we-ve-learned-to-pay-attention-to-what-they-have-to-say-and-also-note-their-body-language-when-they-re-speaking-as-that-shows-volumes-how-they-feel-about-any-given-issue-and-i-m-not-talking-just-about-what-type-of-coffee-is-brewed-in-the-kitchen-area-here-even-though-that-may-be-important-to-most-i-m-referring-to-listening-to-their-thoughts-that-generate-thousands-of-dollars-in-revenue-from-new-products-ideas-etc-that-ultimately-benefits-everyone-in-short-we-treat-all-our-staff-as-valued-human-beings-whose-opinions-and-contributions-to-our-company-matter-after-all-they-re-our-biggest-asset-and-we-feel-every-business-should-take-particularly-good-care-of-what-affects-their-bottom-line-the-most-namely-their-people\"><br>In short, we treat all our staff as valued human beings whose opinions and contributions to our company matter.
