You are a manager in a software company now at the time of promoting employees working under you 1 person saying he/she don't want a promotion . The reason he/she is saying "just dont want " . What signs do u have after this ?
However his/her performance is OK neither too high not even bad also . say u waned to make him/her developer to senior developer .
not sure i completely understand your question as asked, but i think you are saying you have an employee that doesnt want to be promoted. There are two questions you need to ask:
- why do you want to promote them
- why dont they want the promotion
For example, if you want to promote them so they can start leading the work of others, but they just want to be an individual contributor, that might be your problem.
If they are very clear they dont want a promotion OR a pay increase (assuming both are part of the package) then i would respect their wishes, but it is important to really understand the underlying reasons for both of you so that you can arrive at the best possible outcome and there are no misunderstandings or miscommunications.
Good luck!
I would hesitate promoting anyone who didn't want it. Mainly because leaders need to be proactive and self-starters. If someone is saying they don't want a promotion, that usually (not always) means they are not a leader.
Now, that being said, if you think this person would be a great leader but is just nervous of the new role, promote them and let them live up to the new leadership role. If they can handle it, promote them and they'll become a better leader/manager.
But only promote them if you know they can live up to the responsibilities.
Good luck.
