Building the Management Team You Need for Strong, Sustainable Growth… (even if you think they may not be your dream team)

NOVEMBER CEO WORKSHOP, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 12TH, 2013

The economic environment of the last couple of years has had us all running as fast as we can, working harder than ever, and making due with less resources and people.

Now, some of us are taking advantage of growth opportunities; opening new offices or expanding existing operations. Until human cloning technology is perfected, it’s imperative as leaders that we develop our people to their best potential, attract right new talent, and move underperformers up or out, and delegate effectively.

you can be in a position for strong, sustainable growth.

In this workshop, we’ll give you the tools to address your people resource challenges so you can be in a position for strong, sustainable growth.

QUESTIONS THE CEO SHOULD BE ASKING:

• What types of structural issues do I have in my company that either support or inhibit performance and/or growth opportunities and people development?
• How do I keep and grow my best people? How do I delegate effectively
• How do I address the problem of underperforming employees/teams?

TAKEAWAYS:

• What types of structural systems can promote (or inhibit) performance and growth and applied that knowledge to your own company
• Concrete things you can put in place to ensure success in new office or operation.
• A proven methodology for correctly diagnosing and preventing ‘people problems’
•  A step by step methodology to help solve and more, importantly prevent, “people” issues from happening.

PREPARATION:

A one or two sentence write-up about your biggest challenge facing your potential growth opportunity, or, a current chronic “people” problem you are facing and some bullets about what you have tried or what has not worked. For example:

Related to an Expansion Opportunity:

•    How do I pick the right person to head up the new operation? How much decision-making authority do I give him or her? How do I know they are ready?

Or related to your Current Operations:

• Have an underperforming team or individual and I need to have more critical thinking and strategic project management action taken by my team, or I will go nuts trying to be everywhere. 

Use the following framework:

•  The Issue:
• What I have done about it:
• What worked:
•   What did not work:
• Where I need help/Where I am stuck
