Any company that is dependant on the skills, knowledge and drive of the MD or
owner to succeed is going to hit a plateau and stay there (or decline). To thrive,
a company needs a capable management team that can drive success.
To perform to the best of their ability, managers and staff need to be closely
aligned to the strategy of the business. They need to know what is required of
them, why it is important, how it will be measured – and of course they need to
be capable of delivering. They need the right skills, resources, support and motivation.
Measure your MANAGERS against these criteria. Do they: -
- Know where the company is going and what it needs to do to get there?
- Know what they personally need to deliver to underwrite the company’s success?
- Know the difference between important and urgent?
- Have personal performance criteria against which they are measured?
- Have the skills, tools and resources to deliver their goals?
Think about YOURSELF. Do you: -
- Delegate effectively?
- Provide information and feedback to your Managers so they can give of their best?
- Listen to your people – do they get a fair hearing?
- Provide an environment where teamwork and collaboration are encouraged – but goals still met?
- Publicly reward success, achievement and dedication?
