But the payoff for a preventing manager is a smooth day. How boring compared to the hustle and feel-good activities of the crisis manager. This sends a message that the interviewing, orientation and training need to be changed to reduce turnover. The crisis manager will simply accept the turnover and continue status quo. The crisis manager will not notice and simply wait until there is a shortage.
Crisis management can be especially problematic for new managers.
If they are allowed to continue with crisis management behavior, they will be trapped into working with a lifelong habit that may feel good but will be counterproductive to their development. The crisis manager uses hindsight while the preventive manager uses foresight . You decide which is the better to emphasize. I'll take the less glamorous path every time. If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
