Behavior Based Safety a.k.a. Safety in Communications

Setting Goals and Strategies:

For managers and those that manage them that need help with the process of getting themselves and their goals understood and agreed upon.  Get everyone on working on the same page and open up the communication channel through cooperation, not coercion.

New Manager 90 Day Orientation Plan:

New managers and their managers face many things in the first 90 days.  It can be a trial period in more ways than one.  It can be a test of both the new manager as well as their bosses temperament and skills.  What happens is a combination of cultural culture change, communications challenges, and often not very clear cut expectations from either side.  I can help alleviate a lot of that irritation and help set expectations.  If you would like to know more, click here to contact me...

What Do I Do With A Manager That Has Been Here A While And Needs Help?

We can help them as well.  This takes a bit more effort up front.  The payoff comes with knowing that both you and they are on the same page, that you have the same expectations in job performance and that you and they can now manage by fact.  After that you should have the confidence to support them in whatever way the job requires.  If you would like to know more, click here to contact me or for more information you might be interested in this one page summary.

What If The Job Could Talk?:
Hiring or promoting the wrong person for a job can be costly.  Between three and seven times their salary.  Most people hire because 'they like them' and it's not really effective.  Hiring the right person goes beyond technical skills and experience.  It goes to attitude and behavior.  Things that can be masked during an interview.   If you need to fill a position and want to increase your chances of hiring the right person, then you may be interested in Job Benchmarking.  If the job could talk what would it tell you about the type of person that should fill it?  To take an online audio walk through of the why and how Job Benchmarking works, click  More...
