The Problem

Like waters, some work cultures are terrific, others tolerable, and, sadly, toxic or near toxic work cultures exist too. When work cultures aren't good, engagement suffers, customer service levels decrease, as does morale and productivity, and quality team members leave. Any one of these creates loss for organizations. Together, the negative impact is even greater.

The Cause

Research shows that company and team challenges often hinge on a workplace culture - environments controlled, for the most part, by what direct managers are doing or not doing. When management is not at its best, unwanted stuff falls into the cultural waters; lowering morale, engagement, and productivity, and increasing turnover.

The Missing Piece

Most managers bring knowledge, energy, and experience to their roll. What many are missing, however is an overarching strategy that can guide them to being elite managers. The goal for every organization should be that every manager be an elite manager.

The Solution

High impact work cultures - those that have the most productive teams and the fewest HR issues - have leaders who know and apply the three essentials for management excellence. Get my whitepaper, The Essentials of Management Excellence, and see if my insights align with your experience about how the best managers foster superior work environments to consistently get the best results with their people and teams.
