Our Moving From Manager to Leader program will help develop managers into effective leaders who can motivate, coach, empower and lead employees to higher performance. Within a company, not only do the employees need to be focused on the company direction, they need to see how they fit in to add value.

One of the most important responsibilities of today's leader is to make the company's strategic plan come alive. Many companies have a mission statement, but have not yet outlined the tactics on how to get it accomplished. Many company leaders that have outlined the goals have not held employees accountable for performing activities in alignment with those goals and standards. That's where Moving From Manager to Leader can help.

Moving From Manager to Leader can help organizations implement their strategic plan, create more effective performance standards, and encourage personnel to work smart, not hard. This is especially important because only 20% of employees will be eager and willing to perform and change what is necessary. These are your PRODUCERS. They are the easiest to lead because they don't require much direction or coaching.

Another 40% of employees are FENCE SITTERS. They will sit on the fence until their individual hot button has been ignited. It is especially important for FENCE SITTERS to see how they fit into the company's goals. They need to be coached in order to take the risk required for exceptional performance.

The final 40% of employees are your STABILIZERS. They resist change most of all. The key to change for these employees is getting them to buy-into the plans and changes early on. As a company's marketplace changes, so must its strategic plan, goals and activities of the employees. STABILIZERS are comfortable doing things the same way.

Moving From Manager to Leader will help you work with all three groups of employees to get the maximum performance results.

Below are the 4 stages we use to move you from Manager to Leader:

Stage 1: Assess your role and responsibilities to ensure you are working at your highest level and capacity of influencing, visioning and leading your company. Assess your managers' roles and responsibilities so that they are prepared to hold employees accountable for activities and behaviors that support the strategic plan.

Stage 2: Train you and your managers with the skills necessary to be intuitive about problems at the "Tip of the Iceberg," address issues, problem solve, and hold people accountable.

Stage 3: Coach you and your managers on:

• Developing a strategic plan with clear company, department and individual goals and standards

• How to hold meetings that focus on achieving the strategic goals

• How to handle individual and cross department interaction that discuss and resolve situations where we are not focusing on the strategic goal

• How to bring out the best in individuals with positive, motivational techniques

Stage 4: Benchmark & Recognize the performance of each individual and department. We will also help you develop a Recognition Program that acknowledges employees who have met their strategic goals and individual performance standards. In addition, we will show you how to hold each employee accountable for goals not achieved and how to benchmark their progress towards those goals.
