Vision Goals and a Strategic Plan
- Help ¡your ¡team ¡members ¡
succeed
- Give ¡new ¡relevance ¡and ¡
meaning ¡to ¡job ¡ descrip?ons, ¡hiring ¡ protocols, ¡ ¡training ¡and ¡ coaching
Strategic Plan in Action
No Job Descriptions
- Makes a direct, positive impact on payroll
- Improve your hiring success
- Allow team members to be successful
- Keep annual review sessions concise and to the
point
No Job Descriptions (cont’d)
- Do NOT use generic job descriptions, but use them
as a jumping off point for Workman’s Comp and
- ther legal issues
- Should underline soft skills that are important to
the practice and culture
- Ask team members if they are accurate
Review System or Celebration!
Review System or Celebration!
- Use the Job Description or the Mission as a basis for all
reviews
- Regular feedback hones an understanding of Mission and
job descriptions
- Encourages productivity
- Builds Relationships
- Culls bad hires out of the pack faster
- Successful reviews teach leaders and team members how to
work together successfully.
Mixing Business with Pleasure
- Subordinates can’t approach the relationship
- n equal footing.
- Very risky
- Ease out of current relationships with
suboridinates
Micromanagement
I would like you to be more self-reliant, show more initiative and take greater responsibility...but check with me first
Micromanagement
- Result of poorly defined goals
- Unsuccessful or poorly executed training
systems
- Unsuccessful or poorly executed review
process
- Insecurity
Exploding in the Workplace
- TOXIC to productivity, empowerment,
buyin, trust, etc, etc, etc.
- Usually associated with bigger issues
- Secession usually requires
professional help
Don’t do as I do, Do as I say
- Exemplify your mission
and values
- Actions speak much
louder and resonate more deeply with team members than words
- TDMgr’s will NEVER be happy
- Failure to leverage and empower your team dooms the growth and
diversity of your business.
- Top down management reduces productivity and de-motivates
employees
- Selects for the worst in the employment pool
Top Managers Down
Retaining Poor Performers
- No hiring protocol is flawless.
- Use a strong mission, job
description and training to weed
- ut misfires efficiently.
- Letting a poor performer go
provides them a chance to succeed and flourish elsewhere.
