What I do in Management

I provide managers with the tools and processes to use to move their staff from reluctant compliance, through willing compliance and on to willing performance.

 

Business only ever does three things – make money, save money and manage risk. Any activity that does not contribute into one or more of these processes, is a waste of time.

 

Now why would I open a personal professional bio with that line? Because it's my responsibility to provide your managers with a toolkit that when applied, will ensure that they have a team focussed on and working to get these 3 results.

 

So it amazes me that every time over the last 35 years or so that I start working in business, I hear from managers, “If I never had to manage people I’d actually enjoy my job!” What happened between “I can’t wait to become a manager” and the reality of being a manager? What happened to make this person so dissatisfied with their management role?

 

The answer is that 1) they’re inadvertantly breaking the management rules. And as there is no more important business relationship than that of an employee and line manager, they simply cannot afford to break the rules! And 2) They’re trying to get their staff to comply with outdated, misaligned, standard and compliance focused KPI’s. These two issues create a demotivated, reluctantly compliant workforce, when what we need is a willingly compliant, performing workforce.

 

Surprisingly, high performance and effectiveness are in-built in to everyone’s DNA - it's something that people access every day in their personal lives! Yet when they come to work, we struggle to get them to even meet minimum standards and requirements. Why? Our management processes do not allow the “performance center” of the brain, that we all use every day in our personal lives, to do its job. We are applying “compliance drivers” that switch off the performance center of the brain. If we want willing performance, we should be applying “performance drivers” that switch on the performance center of the brain. The fact is: high performance is never an accident. Neither is it a given. But it is the job of the manager.

 

What I do is NOT a Performance Management training course or program. It is an interactive management coaching program designed to give managers the tools and processes that they need to use, to move their staff from reluctant compliance, through willing compliance and on to willing performance.

 

"Performance is never an accident.  It is always the result of a

commitment to excellence,  intelligent planning, and focused effort."

- Paul J. Meyer

The work is of modular design and can be presented in the following ways:
