Its people like you that have hindered lots of people...preventing their growth. However, i will not judge you, but please do the right thing. If you don't he can still get a better offer and resign, or get transferred far away from you. My advise, have a discussion with him and let him know what you intend to do. Then ask him who can he recommend to replace him in his current position and why. Another option is, let him know what you intend to do and still request he helps you even i he assumes the new role. However, don't be wicked... 2 Likes 1 Share |

You should rather resign since you can't do your job. |

OP I perfectly understand the situation you find yourself as I have been there before not in your position but as Mr. X. In my case, it was my sister as my boss and so many senior friends in the donor agencies that funded us but the big issue is that nobody wants to lose an excellent staff, it is what it is but I think you have to trust other team members with more responsibility to get the best out of them. Some folks in your team might be relaxed seeing that you seem to trust Mr. X more. Make everyone feel important and valued and you'll most likely find many Mr. X who before now looked incapable of stepping into Mr. X's shoe. Push his CV through and find you others who can do better... If I wanted to go any further, I'd say for Mr. X to be so good yet has been in the same position for years is either down to ill luck finding a new job or due to the perks he gets from the job which I'm certain you don't know. Move him on and get to discover your terrain even more as it sounds like a lot of what you know of the new terrain is what he wants you to know. 3 Likes |

Help him to help you too. Just make sure he knows how important you are to his work if he gets promoted and his to yours. That you'll still be needing his help in any way he can. You can help each other that way. |
Re: Should I Recommend My Best "Team Member" For A Higher Position Off My Team? by tman14(m): 7:45am On Dec 02, 2019 |
AlexDeedat my advice is that you call Mr X, discuss with him on how he is valuable to your team, but how you also want his progress and such you are recommending him for the new slot. Knowing this Mr X will understand your predicament. He may even also recommend somebody that will do better than him. Do not be a hindrance to his blessings as God will use somebody else if you refuse to be used. |
Re: Should I Recommend My Best "Team Member" For A Higher Position Off My Team? by ProtectMyMoney: 7:45am On Dec 02, 2019 |
AlexDeedat: Tell Mr X to recommend someone who can work like him to you within 24hrs. Push Mr X CV forward...he deserves it as your write up seems he merits it.. You will need him sometime in future, and i'm sure he will always be ready to assist you no matter where he is posted as a TSM. Do not bar his progress as he didn't hinder yours. |

You just have to help him. God has a way of meeting the needs of good people. God might have sent you their because He wanted to answer his prayers. But before you do that, call him for a discussion and let him know why you did the increment and what you are planning to do. Tell him your fears and that you have decided to help him irrespective of your fears. I'm sure he would be grateful and do more to making your work easy. At the end, its a win win thing. 1 Like 1 Share |

AlexDeedat:this is simple, op don't fail to submit his CV. Before he goes for the job offer I am sure he will introduce you to the things he does and the people he connects with to meet up with sales demand in short periods... I have a feeling you are scared of the responsibility.. The truth is you have to own up, it your time to do the best you can and even enrich yourself experience wise.. Lastly don't overlook other workers.. They might turn out to be as good as mr X.... I hope to hear that you submitted his CV. I will be happy 1 Like |

AlexDeedat: My 1st advice was gona be u shud be selfish cos it’s self preservation 1st bt 2nd thought was u cud discuss the matter with him and if he wants the opportunity do it for him cos he will always respect and owe u one. On ur team stuff isn’t there a way he can brush u up or give u a crash course on the workings b4 he gets the knew appointment or even work with u from proxy? Look at all possible options of the scenarios if he has to leave cos that may be best for him especially If he wants it too. |

Op, you better help him, if not, you fit be for market soon as Mr X fit get to know about it later, stop helping you, work for your fall, take over your seat..... If you help him, you can still contact him, you can even let him know later that you are the one that helped him, he can help you through with stuffs, he might be in position to save you tomorrow.... The choice is yours |
Re: Should I Recommend My Best "Team Member" For A Higher Position Off My Team? by SocialJustice: 7:54am On Dec 02, 2019 |
AlexDeedat:If you have truly doubled his take home, why are you uncomfortable. Set your own targets that must be met before he leaves. There should be at least a replacement for him in the team or 2 people that can make 50% sales. Do not throwaway the asset in your team because you think what you're doing is wrong. Learn all there is to learn to make your team stronger when he leaves before you let him go. Leadership and people management is not an easy task. Even when he is gone, find a way for him to add value, if possible let him transfer his leads to others in the team or have 2 team members learn under him. You have to be bold. I wish you the best. |

@Poster, You are a wonderful person. The fact that you became worried about this shows that. 1. Help him. And do it quickly 2. Look into that team, there is another Mr X among them. Just find him/her. 3. Extract every single info you can from Mr X before he leaves 4. You have done a great job already. One day he will finally leave. Write your name in his heart forever by helping him. This last week, a friend got a job through my connection. He is resuming as I type. You can’t imagine the joy in my heart as I type, because God used me for him! If I had refused to help him, won’t help come to him someday from another source? So what will be my benefit. Don’t worry bro, go ahead n help him. Thanks �� in advance. Wishing everyone here a wonderful week. 2 Likes 1 Share |

@Op. God is with you, he brought you to your new station for purposes and one of those purposes is help the guy. Do not hold back, do not hesitate, just do what is best expected of you as other posters have recommended. To up your game, try as much as possible to inherit and follow up on all his customers. You may watch follow him to the market and try to catch his sales style that makes him exceptional over the years and adopt it. It is well with you. Amen 1 Like 1 Share |

You don't have to be selfish here sir. You never knew someone will help you that much when you were transferred right! So if you think God has pushed him to you and he has done his part to secure your feet in that region, then you need to do your own part as well to ensure the establishment of his own career as well. Don't allow the fear of the unknown to becloud you. Help him grow as he has helped you. With the little you've gained from his support, I think you can build yourself and what makes you think someone else can't be added to your team who will do better than he is? |

What more can i say. Most of the advice and recommendations are good. Please let Mr X go, do not stand on his way to success, please push him, he has been in the company for years, and he has the capability, God brought you there for a purpose, your conscience is already telling you to help him, please do. God will raise another Mr X for you. Also, you also need someone to push you up one day. Please update us after submitting his CV. |

AlexDeedat:He ll eventually leave one way or the other. Put one or two people in his team strictly to understudy his method of operation Loose him! and let him go.....if he eventually found out about opening and your reluctant to recommend him, his output may eventually drop drastically |

Loose him and let him go! Then, you will see the glory of God in your career. There is a higher position waiting for you somewhere, so, look beyond where and what you are presently. |

But why are Afonja people so wicked to other tribes. If Mr X was Afonja like your self, and not even doing too well, just for the fact that he is Afonja, you'll quickly recommend him. Wicked soul! AlexDeedat: |

This reminds me of my former boss...Dude got a job he knew nothing about and was using me to cover up the gap. For more than one year, he refused to approve my leave despite my assurance that I would be supporting from home. Eventually left the company for a better offer. Las Las he was able to find his way around the job after I left. Don't allow selfishness to deter you from being a blessing to those who deserve it.

I understand your dilemma as I have been in this crossed road several times. With all sincerity, I have got at least 6 members of my team promoted in space of 1 year. It increases your value, increases your organisational influence and makes you a reference point for someone lifting and success story. Also, endeavour to change your mindset from being a survival or a typical Nigerian manager to Leadership mindset. A leader reward good work in case of Mr X and serves as a pointer to other members.

Yes. You should. If not, you're sitting on someone's rise. Let him advance and another from your team will take his place and advance further. Imagine having 5 people all from your team who made it to higher offices? It will bring even higher recognition to you. It will show the company you're good and will put in the line of a future director. And you would have raised men and women to back up anytime. 1 Like |
