Tired of never ending to do lists? Does everything have to go through you to get done and completed on time? Do you ever feel like nobody in your organization gets the big picture as far as priorities and deadlines? Are we really developing the middle managers with processes or flooding them with never ending programs of the month? Organizations lack structured processes that focus on improving the bottom-line using non-negotiable processes to drive communication, trust and accountability. This workshop will help your leaders climb out of the management dumpster by utilizing the concepts of Unmanagement and Process Based Leadership.

Learning Objectives:
• Breaking the “Dumpster” mentality • Managing by process, not personality • Communication versus advertising • Developing a meaningful communication strategy • Developing balanced business scorecards at all levels • Understanding the need for “SMART” goals • Linking individual, team, departmental and facility goals into the overall corporate strategy • Driving accountability throughout the organization • Setting behavioral expectations and auditing performance • Sustaining the team process through recognition and non-negotiable standards

Keywords: Management, Communication
