Positions
The Positions screen in LeadFirst.ai allows users to create position templates for any or all of a company’s current positions. Position templates serve as a foundation for defining roles within the organization. Follow the steps below to create and manage position templates:
Creating a Position Template
- Access the Positions Screen:
- Navigate to the Positions section within LeadFirst.ai.
- Click the blue-plus icon located in the upper-right corner to create a new position.
- Name the Position:
- In the New Position screen, provide a descriptive name for the position template.
- Choose a name that reflects the role or job title associated with the position.
- Add a Description:
- Enter a brief description of the position.
- This description should help other users understand the responsibilities, qualifications, and purpose of the position.
- Be concise but informative.
- Select a Position Plan Template:
- Associate the position template with an existing position plan template.
- Position plan templates define the ongoing responsibilities (MORs), projects, and expectations for individuals in a specific role.
- Choose a relevant plan template from the available options.
- The default option is Individual Plan.
Learn: you can create plan templates from the Templates screen. To get there, open the main menu on the left > Administration > open Templates.
To learn more, see the article Templates.
Applying Position Templates
- When creating a new user account within LeadFirst.ai, the system automatically assigns the basic Individual Plan template to a user with no position defined.
- When you assign a position to a user....
- LeadFirst.ai identifies the associated position template (e.g., “Sales Manager Template”).
- The user receives a personalized plan based on the predefined projects and goals outlined in the position plan template.
- This ensures consistency and alignment across the organization.
Best Practices
- Keep position templates up to date:
- Regularly review and update position templates to reflect any changes in roles, responsibilities, or organizational structure.
- Ensure that descriptions accurately represent the position’s purpose.
- Customize as needed:
- While position templates provide a standard framework, feel free to customize individual plans for specific users.
- Adjust goals, tasks, and expectations based on unique circumstances.
