Bestes Zitat aus A-Mitarbeiter finden: So baust du dein Gewinnerteam auf
Wir stellen Leute nach ihrem Fachwissen ein, aber wir feuern sie wegen ihrer Einstellung. Man kann jemanden fachlich schulen, aber man kann den Charakter und die Grundeinstellung kaum ändern.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Diese Klassifizierung bewertet Mitarbeiter basierend auf ihrer Einstellung und Eigenverantwortung statt nur nach ihrem Fachwissen. A-Mitarbeiter sind die Zugpferde, die die Vision des Unternehmens aktiv mitgestalten und Probleme eigenständig lösen. B-Mitarbeiter erledigen ihre Aufgaben ordentlich, benötigen aber Impulse von außen und machen eher „Dienst nach Vorschrift“. C-Mitarbeiter hingegen haben oft innerlich gekündigt, bremsen das Team aus und kosten das Unternehmen durch Fehler und Korrekturaufwand erheblich mehr Energie und Geld, als sie an Leistung einbringen.
Traditionelle Vorstellungsgespräche gleichen oft einem Theaterstück, in dem beide Seiten Masken tragen und sich der Bewerber lediglich gut verkauft, ohne dass seine tatsächliche Arbeitsweise sichtbar wird. Die Trefferquote solcher Gespräche liegt laut den Experten kaum über dem Zufallsprinzip. Um echte A-Mitarbeiter zu finden, ist ein tiefergehender Prozess nötig, der Verhaltensfragen zu vergangenen Situationen, Probearbeit unter realen Bedingungen (Schnuppertage) und die Einbeziehung des gesamten Teams in die Entscheidung umfasst.
Das Skript vertritt hier eine klare Position: Während fachliche Wissenslücken durch Schulungen geschlossen werden können, lassen sich der Charakter und die grundlegende Arbeitseinstellung kaum verändern. Führungskräfte verschwenden oft zu viel Energie bei dem Versuch, C-Mitarbeiter zu „retten“, anstatt diese Kraft in die Förderung der A-Mitarbeiter zu investieren. Eine Trennung von C-Mitarbeitern wird daher als notwendiger Schritt betrachtet, um die Leistungsträger nicht zu frustrieren und das Teamgefüge gesund zu halten.
Für A-Mitarbeiter ist ein hohes Gehalt lediglich ein Basisfaktor, aber kein dauerhafter Motivator. Sie bleiben dort, wo sie Autonomie, echte Verantwortung und eine sinnstiftende Tätigkeit finden. Entscheidend ist eine „A-Kultur“, die durch direkte Kommunikation, hohe Standards und eine geringe Toleranz gegenüber Minderleistung geprägt ist. Zudem benötigen sie spezifische Anerkennung ihrer Leistungen und kontinuierliche Herausforderungen, um ihren natürlichen Drang zur Weiterentwicklung stillen zu können.
Ein erfolgreiches Onboarding ist die Fortsetzung des Auswahlprozesses und entscheidend für die ersten 100 Tage. Statt neue Leute sich selbst zu überlassen, sollte ein detaillierter Einarbeitungsplan mit klaren Meilensteinen existieren. Besonders effektiv ist die Zuweisung eines Mentors oder „Paten“ aus dem Kollegenkreis für informelle Fragen. Regelmäßiges Feedback in kurzen Abständen stellt sicher, dass der neue Mitarbeiter sich wertgeschätzt fühlt und schnell seine volle Produktivität als A-Mitarbeiter entfalten kann.
