Keynotes and Workshops

90 Day Managers Support Program:

New managers and their managers face many things in the first 90 days.  It can be a period of trials in more ways than one.  It can be a test of temperament and skills for both the new manager and their bosses.  What happens is a combination of cultural culture change, communications challenges, and oftentimes not very clear cut expectations from either side.  Maverick Business Advisors can help alleviate a lot of that irritation and set clear expectations.  If you would like to know more, please contact us... or for more information please read this one page summary.

What do I do with a manager that has been here awhile and needs help?

We can help!  This situation may take a bit more effort up front, but it is worth it.  The payoff comes with knowing that everyone is on the same page, that you have the same expectations in job performance and that you can now manage by fact. Once this happens you'll have the confidence to make decisions as to how to support them. After that you should have the confidence to support them in whatever way the job requires.  If you would like to know more, please contact us you might be interested in this one page summary.

Is The Person You Interview on Friday the One That Shows Up On Monday?
Or - Stop Hiring The Person You Like and Hire The Person You Need!

Job applicants are chameleons - they show up prepared to look and act and perform in whatever manner they need to get the job.  We all know that hiring the wrong person for a job can be costly, but did you know that some studies show the cost is between three and seven times their salary?  Most managers and executives hire someone because 'they liked the person', which is really ineffective.  Hiring the right person goes beyond technical skills and experience.  Decisions should include a look at attitude and behavior --things that are often masked during an interview.  That's why we hear people say "the person I interviewed on Friday is not the person that showed up on Monday!"  If you need to fill a position and want to increase your chances of hiring the right person, then you might be interested in Job Benchmarking.  If the job could talk what would it tell you about the right kind of person to fill it?  To take an online audio walk-through of the "why and how" Job Benchmarking is so effective.

The One Page Business Plan - The Fastest way to plan today!

The road to success is paved with indecisive squirrels!  Maverick Business Advisors can help reduce the frustration that comes with decision making and help create management fact.  We can help executives, managers and non-profits with the process of clearly communicating their efforts and intentions.  Once this is accomplished, obtaining buy-in from everyone in the company towards the common goal becomes much easier.  Success is achieved by bringing everyone into alignment through cooperation, not coercion.  Contact us to find out more about the power of The One Page Business Plan©.

Management training for blue collar managers
and those that manage them.

 

Was that person that was born to make us mad?

Probably not.  But what really concerns you about them?  Is their behavior irritating?  Do they not seem to hear you?  Do they listen and then go do things their own way anyway?  Can't seem to motivate them?  Still trying to figure out what makes them tick?  We can help by giving insight into their behavior, how that works for or against you, and what motivates them.  More on that here..
