Management By The Numbers

As the saying goes, "What gets measured and monitored gets done." So, what are you measuring and monitoring?

What’s Your Word Worth?

Regardless of the topic I am presenting, many clients indicate the greatest frustration with co-workers, supervisors, team members, or managers is another person’s inability to keep his or her word.

Don’t Expect Kudos for Just Doing Your Job

Do you provide a good product or service to your customers? Do you ship orders on time? Are your employees well trained and professional with each other and with your customers? Do you address customer problems as soon as they arise?

Do Your Performance Management Systems Support Performance?

In working with various clients lately, we're seeing a common problem: Each organization has performance management systems that, as currently designed, create problems. These systems create the types of employee behaviors and unsatisfactory performance the client is trying to eliminate!

Share Your Lessons Learned: Develop New Leaders

My client's goal was to develop their next generation of leaders. At a recent meeting I wasn't surprised to hear every group of senior managers complain about the weak or under-developed personnel management, delegation, strategic thinking and personal accountability skills in their direct-report managers.

It’s Time to Sync Your Team

When was the last time you sat your entire team down and simply compared To Do lists? That may sound like a waste of time, but I'd encourage you to make it a priority if you can't remember the last time you did this or you've never done it.

Remember: They’re Watching You

No matter how many times you tell your team, "We're going to change." "We're going to become more efficient and do things differently around here," they're not going to believe you. They also know that by "We" you really mean them. As a leader, if you expect others to change, you need to change first.

Calm The Rumblings

Do your job and immediately calm project team rumbles to prevent team explosions and projects going off-track.

Specifically = Every Manager’s Favorite Word

It is THE word every manager/leader should become incredibly comfortable using. It is really a simple word; however, most don’t use it for maximum impact. We don’t use it as we could and should, because we don’t appreciate it as a critical aid in coaching and supporting our team members in such things as problem identification, process analysis, individual performance, and accountability.

Your Values Statement Serves as Your House Rules

We have all seen values statements hanging on the walls of various organizations. They're usually nicely framed and tastefully hung for all who pass by to see. However, other than knowing the executive team developed them as part of a strategic planning effort, most of us who walk by our own organization's values statement rarely understand its purpose - other than serving as a nice piece of artwork.
