Managing People

Most managers and supervisors are promoted into their leadership positions because of their technical skills, not their people skills. What’s more, they may spend a lot of time addressing worker attitudes when, in reality, the only area they can control is worker performance. And while much of the success of a manager is based on motivating employees to perform tasks in ways that produce quality products and services quickly and efficiently, many of those who are asked to lead others don’t understand the basics of human motivation.

This component will help you and your team examine your leadership roles and practice key management concepts that influence business success through motivation and performance expectations.

Dan Miller’s innovative strategies for Managing People will help your team:

Discover how the Performance Formula positively impacts costs, quality, and delivery of products and services
Clarify the roles and responsibilities of managers, supervisors, and other leaders
Understand the essentials of motivation

This component helps create these lasting results, among others:

Rework is reduced and productivity is increased when expectations are consistently clear.
The organization sees less waste and happier employees when there is plenty of genuine positive reinforcement, recognition, and appreciation.
Performance is not only improved but those improvements are sustained.

Like all Dan Miller programs, Managing People will be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of your team or organization.
