Is This You?
Is This Your Organization?
-
No one is listening!
We have meetings and we talk and we write memos yet people
still don't seem to communicate. We never seem to
get things done or agree on how to get it done. I would
rather take a beating than go to another meeting.
-
We have people in positions they
shouldn't be in. They don't seem to be
motivated. We don't know how to motivate them.
They are costing us time and energy and that is reflected
in morale. And that is reflected in productivity.
If we have to replace someone or create a new position,
how do we know we're going to get the right person for
the job next time?
-
We are losing people with valuable
technical skills and knowledge. We promote
people up and then push them out. They were great
where they were, why aren't they good where they are?
For some reason, they just don't get the management
side of the business. That costs us a ton of money.
Does your organization promote people up then
push them out? Are you losing clients
because you are losing employees?
-
No one seems to know where we are
headed. They tell us to keep the goal in
sight, but we're not even sure what the goal is.
Sometimes I feel like their goal is not our goal.
-
"These are the numbers we have
to make." That's good to know, but
what we don't know is where those numbers come from and
what kind of support we will get to acieve them.
-
We can't pay these people any more
than we already are! We keep throwing money at people
and still not getting the desired results!
Surely there is more to life than money! Yes, there
is, but it is not always easy to determine what motivates
an individual. Often they don't really know themselves.
Both of you are stressed and resentful. Taking the
time to find their hot buttons is crucial for their health
and that of the companies.
-
Are you managing numbers or people?
Numbers are really only indicators of people and their
productivity, and by extension their managers. People
don't work for companies, they work for people.
Managers and leaders don't manage or lead numbers, they
manage and lead people.
If you said "Yes" to any of the above
or have a similar situation, let's talk about it. Let's
take a look at what the problem really might be.
If you are the leader, the owner, the decision maker then you
will want to know the outcomes you can
expect when working with Maverick Business Advisors.
