Simplified Management Information

Are you a manager or have aspirations to be one? Have you been well trained in the art and science of managing people? It’s unlikely. In 2016, 87% of millennials said that professional development or career growth opportunities were very important. But only 21% of employees feel that they are managed in a motivating way. The problem I’ve found is that a lot of folks get promoted to a management position and are then left to their own devices to figure out what that means and how to do it successfully. I’m here to help you take control of your career and put you on a path to success. A lot of management and leadership advice is big on feel-good stories and excitement and short on specific, actionable steps to actually make you a successful manager. You won’t find that here. I’ll give you stories and anecdotes, but only to illustrate a specific action or idea that I want you to understand. My basic philosophy can be broken down into the following categories: Know Your Team Know Your Boss Know Your Organization Know Your Role These are the big buckets into which I put all of my training and recommendations. With everything that I discuss, my goal for you is to come away with specific, actionable steps that you can take that will lead you to a place of higher productivity for both you and your team.
