But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. We especially see the application of this principle of gifting in the placement of people. Jerry is a good example of a person with latent skills that needed to be developed and given opportunity. Eric, mentioned earlier, hit a blind alley before his gifts were identified and he moved into supervision, where he has excelled. More and more we place an emphasis on people working in teams, where a blend of giftings is particularly important.
Performance evaluations are a valuable tool in counseling employees.
Cross-training is also a helpful guide. After this new work experience, the person will have a much better idea of whether to prepare for a different type of work in the company and possibly take courses toward that goal. The third dimension of God's blueprint is sphere. You live in a certain period of history and were born in a certain place by God's design. Likewise, God sets us into areas of responsibility.
