Do you hire ‘bad managers’ to make your job easier?
Mental Prosperity is what makes some managers GREAT!
I recently had an owner share with me that they hire ‘bad’ managers so that those managers can deal out the harsh reality of work and they (the owner) only has to be the ‘good guy’ and enjoy their employees.
I was… Continue reading
Why do nasty people become managers? And how do they stay?
Have you ever had a manager who truly didn’t know how to manage people? How does that happen? And if by some chance it does happen, how do those people keep their jobs? Mental Prosperity is a cornerstone for training Great Managers.
As a management trainer who has a blog, Great Managers Are Made Not Born, I am constantly in search of the great managers at every place I go. And I am usually very disappointed. Whether it’s a restaurant, a hardware store, a retail business or a corporation I am constantly disappointed by who I meet or who I learn about. After I speak, or after people know I teach management they often seek me out to ask, what can I do about my manager?
When I have casual conversations at bars or in airports I often watch bad management happening right in front of me. I see managers discipline their people in front of customers and other employees. Both cardinal sins of management.
I hear the horror stories where bad managers are not only in place but kept in place after terrible events where they demonstrate their complete lack of management skills.
I ask again and again, why are they allowed to stay in their jobs? And I think, there must be some place deep inside of their abilities that makes them appear financially desirable.
Notice I said appear. Continue reading
Great Managers do not micro-manage
Great managers do not micromanage their employees and they have learned through their Mental Prosperity training to instruct and monitor.
When you are one of the few great managers and you have jobs to do it is very easy to overlook the instructions you need to accomplish the task. A course in Mental Prosperity, Learn to Win success training makes good managers great.
I was working with a car dealership a while back and the dealer hired me to ‘motivate’ his staff, saying sales were not progressing as they should. Well, my first question in my mind asked, sales are not progressing as they should? Who said they should and why, but I did not ask the dealership this. Instead I asked what they were doing to move sales ahead and they explained their current motivation. It was basically what all sales companies do and that was incentivizing the sales process.
When I asked what that meant they said, every month we offer the lead sales person a new prize or gift if they finish atop the leader board. I then asked, over the last several months, how many of your 23 sales people have won? They told me it was basically the same three people over and over.
Interesting, isn’t it? What is your thought on this right now? Is that a good thing or not? Here is my in-post poll: The fact that the same 3 sales people are always winning the monthly sales board is because: A: They are using the wrong incentives B: Those sales people have been there the longest C: Those sales people are just the best sales people D: fill this in for yourself 😉
Just an interesting poll. If you would send me your answers I would love that! steve@stevesapato.com
But when I delved deeper into the why here is what I found; Continue reading
