Increase your employee productivity immediately!
It’s not easy being a manager these days. You’re responsible for recruiting, hiring, training, coaching, modeling, engaging, monitoring, motivating, anticipating, prioritizing, planning, evaluating, clarifying, adapting, envisioning, directing, disciplining, reinforcing, reporting, recognizing, budgeting, and building alliances. And that’s all before lunch. And if you struggle with just one, your reports will say you’re over your head.

Have you ever wondered why many “managers” do not get the most out of their employees? The answer is simpler than you think.
As a leader in an organization, your utmost responsibility is to provide your employees with a working environment that positively charged with motivation.

For a group to really perform well, it needs practice. The group needs to understand the best way to organize itself for performance.
This concept is commonly understood by sports teams and the military. They clearly see the need to give groups opportunities to practice. Boot Camp for the military and pre-season workouts for sports teams are the norm.
It’s interesting to note in business that there is far less interest or appreciation of group development and the need for practice.
