A Natural Manager

Dyelry (Jerry) Labbate is the pursuit of a gym in the center of Boston, with four full-time and four part-time, personal trainer. What follows is a description of data in March 2006 by her management approach, with my comments on the lessons that managers can from the experience of Jerry’s.

I never wanted to be, in the business. Born in Brazil, I lived in the U.S., since I was 12 years. I remember coming on board, not a word does not speak English, and the cabin for an accompanying person agua (water) and they told me some Sprite. I said to myself: ‘This is a great country, you ask, the water and you get Sprite. Wow! ”

I received my diploma from the first stage as a physiologist of the year, went to work in a large gym and then on the spot where I work now.

After only two or three months here, my family has asked me to come to their ethnic and Brazilian companies for the manufacture of food products for the market of the expatriate community of Boston, Brazil. My brother was at my parents, but it does not seem to be above everything. In the period three years ago, my father was 75, 66, my mother, my brother is 29 years old, and I was 25th

It quickly became clear to me that we do much more if we have the right tools. The bottleneck is the fact that any cheese or bread, as the objects in their hands, so I have the plane to Brazil and research, as he was there. I have the right to use the machine and pulled back in Boston.

I’ve also noticed that we have the distribution of our products in a truck that many mistakes, and I bought a new freezer van to the ability of our deliveries from 10:15 each day for about 30 per day. It was only a matter of investing in more and more effective.

I have always thought that it is only common sense. My brother, not because he was in command at the door, and it really was not looking for ways to improve the operation. It was not concentrated. When he tried to change something, he does not know where to start.

At present we have about 80 stores, which we sold through. My brother wanted to extend the 120, but I said, ‘No, I sell more to existing customers. ”

We have for our customers (supermarkets) to monitor the sale of products on an inventory, so that we can expect when they are exhausted, and we could we ensure that the production is planned and ready to go when they need it. We have every week for supplies instead of every 15 days, and our sales to existing customers increased from 35 to 40 percent.

We have also proposed that the various dimensions cheese bread is frozen, so it is baked in the store. Another way to increase the profits I was in the sense that I bought flour. We have been through the purchase of the back pocket of a Chinese grocery store, so that is very expensive. I have an importer and a market with him, when a container (40,000 pounds), we buy it as we do, but unlike the usual practice, that he pay in advance for your purchases, instead of the normally expected that 30 days had to endure with its customers. The cost of the meal is 65 cents per bag of 24 cents per bag.

I have also agreed to pay guys, we have our cheese from our products, we can save a lot of money. Unfortunately, this has worked for a month, because I have not done my homework, that our products are sold to another market segment.

After a few years, our own gym, where I spent two or three months, my back. I sat with my parents, and we have decided to sell the company. My father and mother into retirement, and in May 2004, I am full-time in the gym. In June 15, they gave me the Director.

When I came, that was not satisfied with their work, how they are treated and supported their programming, or their compensation.

An instructor, usually from 6 clock to 8 clock, with a few hours sleep during the day. Even if you do not have a customer, the owners wanted to remain on site, before the time. They make things like a date without having to say, so you change your plans.

I have always believed that there is a company that is used by the trainers – if they do things grow your business. Then, in order to make money, I had to improve customer service, and the only way to improve the quality of work for the trainers. I had a change in working conditions were po

Before I arrived, the owners have done everything in the recruitment of trainers. I went to them and have my case that I am not really good for the company, unless I could be the people I thought, I thought people my criteria, and the people who, like me to going.

I did not want to offend the owners, but I put my case, with a view to improving their results. I have the owners: “They are not in the middle of all this – I am. I know that each of the personality. I can know what the good with the other coaches who do not.

Anyway, the owners, their resources, my arguments and I would like to have my own attitude.

If I had all three trainers to make their opinion resign because of the way they were treated. I am convinced, two of them on her so that I have a new setting.

In fact, the first adjustment after someone I was the owner, but I could see that he had what he needed in order to do well. I liked it immediately. The owner then said to me, they have a second type. When I asked him what he wanted his career, it is clear that our gym is only a transitional government for him.

I have the owners, do not go to work. The owner said: “Give him six to twelve months.” I have worked with the guys, and he is a very good trainer. I have in certification, because this is only to accelerate the date on which he resigns to go forward, and that is exactly what happened.

I had two part-time, which I used, but I knew that I needed to change the setting.

In this area there are many “bait and switch” with the employees. They say something to them before they entered, but he discovered that the reality is very different from when they start to work. For example, people are promised 40 hours of weekly working hours, but the reality is almost always around 60 hours per week. It is customary for every person on the staff to feel stupid in the coming weeks to work.

The trainers are a special kind of person. They have strong personalities, they are athletic, they play the sport, and therefore some of them can be a little rough around the edges, with the customer.

Too often, people are trained to young people and they wonder whether older people or their leaders are very committed and serious about the topics under discussion. As already mentioned, they are not.

I was one of the recommendations of the training company, based on an offer for an education. In connection with the inquiry, had its customers in training: “What will you do to make our politicians apply the lessons that you teach?” It seems a sensible May, the company, but he showed only the surrender of the common responsibility that companies use in training.

Even if the head of the group is not led by the training, it really helps when the head of the group operating in the training as a participant. It should be compulsory. This measure provides an orientation to the discussion and credible commitment by the end of the program ( “We will do that!”).

Even if the head of the group was through the formation of often before, it’s good for him, because only the boss can take part in meetings of the gravity that they need, and the measures as obligations in practice and verifiable.

To the discipline, the training programs should be mandatory and prereading pre-test (after which the participants can not participate if they are not). Yes, that sounds like a heavy, especially the training of managers, but I have many examples of companies that are investing in programs that are for a consensus to achieve changes in a company where half of the participants have developed, and a half not. The debate was a loss of all times, disturbs the two parties.

As Americans Cem said: “Instead of people distracted while working, training should be structured so that they are in improving the quality and efficiency, what they are today.” As such, the participation and the preparation is not optional.

The litany is simple: If it is worth to the training, it’s worth trying this in a way that should be distinguished. This means that they are in the right way of sitting, and the means of preparation. If someone does not want to prepare, they should not be allowed in the room, no matter how high. And if your program does not guarantee this level of rigor, you’re paddling and almost certainly lose a substantial portion of your time and money.

In 1994, I wrote an article about the objectives of the meeting, which has tried to make clear that in order to be effective, a meeting is not just an agenda, but they have a limited number of clear objectives. In numerous seminars, speeches and training programs suffer from lack of understanding on this issue. Too many companies are familiar with the agenda of topics to cover, but not enough thought about the objectives they have, and how these goals can be achieved.

The summary is as follows: When the training was regularly operating in the targeted issues, right, if the group is training, and with the head of the group in space, they can immediately a discussion on how they intend to provide training of ideas in practice. With proper preparation and monitoring, training can be very powerful.

Without all of this can (and usually is) a huge opportunity.

The problems that exist in each of these levels calls for action. But note that the development of skills, as important as it is, is the last step, not the first.

There is no need to discuss the training, if there is no incentive for the behavior that people do not believe, and they do not yet know exactly what they should be good!

The importance of the attitude of the issues is often underestimated. It is working to ensure that people want to learn something about the management of the “why” – help to understand why it is important, it is exciting and satisfying, why people need to sacrifice their time and attention to s part.

If you do not convince, why the training itself can often trivialement easy. When people understand and “clean” of the importance of a theme by its target, meaning and value, and their role in their own profession, they often seek to observe (and finding) books, video materials, online and the College, without the provision for these matters.

In fact, if I was training, what I focus on – especially to try the people excited by the idea of the question, so that they come from sitting on the active search for the new training for themselves. But this works only if they consider that their companies for the management of the opinion that it is important that not only am I!
The right approach

The good process of reflection on the training would improve the management and ask: “What people do not, we do that? And you really know why they can not?”

Then it will be necessary to establish a sequence of actions for each of these questions:
* What is the management of behavior must change in order to convince people that the new behaviors are urgently needed, not only promoted? If the problem is exempted, during the training should be.
* As for the measures to change?
* What has prior training in order to change?

* What should be set up on the day of their arrival?

A change at least include an examination of the following elements:
1. Dashboard (by the new measures, the performance in training)
2. Coaching (continuous monitoring and the new settings)
3. Extras (to carry out the training, even before training)
4. Training
5. Premiums and / or recognition for the implementation

On my blog, David G. says: “No manager should not be a budget for training, until they show that the metrics that the training effect – it should be a goal for the impact and performance against the revision of this objective allocation of more resources for training as a manager. ”

For maximum protection of the rule, it is better to train people in their groups operating system, so that training can be a pragmatic decision and action, collective “to monitor the operations. The training of various parts of society is forcing the program as” teaching only.

Large May training more efficient, because they show that many people in the same range of ideas at the same time, but they are much less effective in changing and thus much less economical.

The training should be provided on topics which can be applied immediately. Too often, companies are from the people the tools and techniques for days, weeks, months or even years before they need, then they go in some way to remember the hope (and run!) Well if needed. It is a pious wish, at best.

The best training in the rule by the company itself from the practice. Although often seen as one of the practitioners from the looks of the time, the credibility, if the company has its own people is not the training of the results is much higher in the adoption and subsequent implementation of the training. People from the outside may only be used to develop programs and “training the trainers”.

Another problem with a minimal influence of many education: the fact that it is a question of business! ”

“Business” as a theme, which focuses on things that are logical, rational mind and Analysis: terms such as “the value chain or multiple P Marketing. Even if it is to analyze and discuss people who are often regarded as an intellectual analysis and discussion: Maslows hierarchy the needs of the great leader, etc., etc. business, at least those he is in our schools and most training is on the understanding and knowledge.

These are obviously very important at a time. However, the administration is responsible, and (he) has nothing to do with reason, logic, IQ, or intelligence. What can you a simple question whether you can affect individuals or organizations to something. It is the people to influence, individually, in groups or in hordes.

No amount of understanding, knowledge and intelligence help, if you are not able to deal with the people and a response is desired. I know a lot about the administration of my upbringing. This does not necessarily mean that I’m good to do everything.

The same tension between the knowledge about the capabilities, through rational and emotional development, there are many other areas of development.

Issues of marketing, cross selling, building relationships with customers, the confidence, and for customer service. It is not unusual for one of my customers use these terms in the definition of its needs of a seminar.

But the mix of different attitudes, understanding, knowledge and skill needs are behind this collection of words!

Be good with people (inside or outside the organization) is not an academic psychology, sociology, anthropology, or other “strategy”, where people sit around and intellectualize “personnel” or “segmentation,” but never really ready for a real, people.

This is also true, unfortunately, is in the schools around the study of the company. School faculties in the world usually consists of men and women, its causes (and the temperament and inclinations) are based on logic of the rational mind. They are well equipped to the companies, but not structured to develop skills.

However, if we really help people develop the skills we need “training” in the way of a financial trainer uses this word – the presentation of a draft set of activities, for the right “muscles” and gradually build their place in the experience to do so.

To get people to develop as the operator does not mean that the discussion about management (or, worse still, the leadership), but rather that the citizens through a series of processes, where they experience, try, and their emotional self-control and interactive formats.

Since the bill Peper, a mediator in General Motors Standards of Excellence “process, in my blog:” The companies often have the training as a substitute for the hard work for a real development of skills. ”
The media companies to change

The truth is that most companies provide training in the wrong direction. They decide what they want their people were good, funding for a director for training and demand that the head of the training to find a good program.

Like Ted Harro comments on my blog: “The training is too often used as a (personal) cheap way to see how you are to do something, if you’re a manager. As usual, is short and little change personnel.”

Changes is very difficult. It demands that the operators answering the questions in four key areas:
* Systems: Is this a guide, encourage and reward these (new) problem?
* Attitude that people want? Is what they are buying their significance?
* Knowledge: Do they know how to do this?

* Skills: Are all the proper execution and implementation of what they know?

Why (almost) of not training

This article has been through a number of posts in my blog. My comments have too much interaction, so I integration and update here, in accessible form to a wider public.

For most of my professional life, I was paid for the training. It was very well received, in the sense that I (generally), the high rates, and the customers not only pay their bills, but has asked me that over and over again.

However, I believe that the majority of training for me and the whole world, is a waste of time and money, because only a microscopic fraction of the training is still in practice, and the hope for the benefits.

Unfortunately, the training and other types of meetings and conferences, often in stand-alone events with their own lives, separate from the society for progress.

What the companies do not seem to understand because, as I would later in this article, the training is a wonderful last step in the realization of changes in organization and behavior, but a first step unnecessarily melodramatic.

The training of people in new areas, but returned to their operating groups, subject to the same policies and approaches for the administration remains.

People can immediately see a lack of coordination between the things they are and how they are trained. If they fail to see little or none at all what was discussed, or “training” is implemented.

A good example of bad (and prematurely) the training methods in the many calls that I am up to the curricula for the people, better managers. I put my calls through a series of questions:

* Are you responsible for the management of roles because they are the kind of people who can their performance and satisfaction of helping other people as if the brightness of the ego, shine even need? (No!)
* Have you chosen because it has a history, before they are able to criticize, so that the other person says, ‘Wow, this is really helpful, I am glad it has helped me to see everything. “(No!)

* Do you reward the people, as his group has done, or reward for their achievements in the creation of businesses and customer service? (The two, with a focus on the numbers!)

So, we summarize, I say. They are for people who do not want to work who do not have the ability to show off the work, and you will be rewarded for something other than work?

Thank you, but I’ll give it to the wonderful privilege of their education!

A good test for the duration of the training is as follows. If the training is entirely voluntary and elected, and only in an isolated village, which only by a mule, but people are still in training, because she herself says, “I was able to learn what – it is crucial for my Future “, then and only then, you know that you and your training time. Nothing less than that, you and the training too early.
The opening speech

Most calls I get from home in the company are events that a company’s speech is entertaining, informative, inspiring and motivating. What they do not seem to want is anything specific, how they operate their businesses or the development of the real world, they are really trying to do.

For example, I recently completed a request to me to ask the audience to the meaning of life, the “sacred values” (including the need for cooperation). They wanted that I be a source of inspiration.

When I asked whether I will be able to attend the hearing voices, as everyone thought, the organization is currently based on the cooperation and the obstacles to cooperation were the organizers were afraid of possible disturbances. I have not been adjusted to bring it forward.

Very often, the person who calls me to a speech or a training course, a conference planner in the administration or from someone – someone who often less entitled to take up a discussion about the changes that management wants.

Their task is often not to be envied. These people are often (perhaps usually) as an impossible task for a program for the development, something changed, but the management of vacation out of it!

The link between management and speakers can still far away. In a few months I have experienced in the work. I have their officials to explain the nature of the work, I prepared to take over. I was surprised to discover that it is a request for it quite unusual – the majority and the most customers on the principle that if the date is available, and the day was free, and a reservation was.

There is no standard, it is still on the client or the speaker, if a broad debate should take place to see if the speaker can be used to meet the objectives of the organization and other changes in the direction wanted to.
Business Management versus

It is not easy to imagine a competent assistant. Selection of someone who has the right skills and can easily place in your company can be difficult. But it is not impossible. Know what you want is a first step.

A large audience to find is already difficult enough to maintain them can be difficult. However, if you know what you are looking for and you are obliged to maintain a close cooperation, then it is likely that your great assistants will be a good work and stay.

Administration officials are expected today at a variety of activities and how you must juggle many tasks on a daily basis. The ability to accomplish many tasks at once is important as the gift to maintain a positive attitude. Is this patient, unable to find qualities? Not necessarily. Here are some useful tips to find a wizard, you can:

* Listen to your instincts. An impressive CV is hard to resist, but if you feel that something is missing – that is, a commitment – in the course of the interview, listen to your instincts. That does not mean that you should simply abandon the candidate. He or she come May sparkling with recommendations and we do not miss on an employee could be almost perfect. But you need to try and probe the origin of feelings from your gut.

* Goal professionalism. Obviously, you need an on-the job training, but in most cases, a wizard that you set a benchmark level of professionalism. For example, the person you recruit and clothing needs to speak in an appropriate manner, show a high degree of integrity, and give you every reason to trust him when it comes to the management of the Executive Board. Ask yourself, ‘Can I do this person, his verdict if I did not order? ”

* Note to candidates each computer / technical skills. Quite simply because the applicant declares that he or she is a fast, when it comes to computers and technology does not necessarily mean that it is quite true. In some cases, it is OK distrust someone the technical know-how. If you are indications that also questions about the technical direction. You must make sure that nobody you are in fact his way around a PC keyboard, a copy / fax, scanner and other parts of the equipment that helps the operation of your company. In those days, such as typing letters and phones answer is quite simply not enough. Of course, you can not expect all the candidates have all the skills that you need, from the beginning. Read the training of staff Ten tips to learn how to implement a program to train your employees.

* Searching for an expert time manager. Skills in dealing with the time for each person on the desk. The knowledge of the value of time and are sent to the organism should be priorities for your desktop wizard. Make sure then that if you look for the perfect candidate to inform you on these core competencies and values. A candidate found that the handling of time plays a central role in the management of an office. If someone this ability is reduced, this person is probably not the right to work.

* This person is probably not the right to work.

* Find the right person. The recruitment of a candidate with the right personality – those who are in your company – in your life (and the demand of) easier. If you are in a fast-paced companies, for example, you probably want to post with a person who is comfortable in an environment that moves quickly. In one hour you do not have enough information, you should not be afraid, plan another meeting to ensure that the person is indeed the right person for the post. Would enable them to the time you talk to a second May, the value of the investment.

* Rent from someone you can trust. This May appear, but you will be surprised how many people neglect this important criterion. Her assistant must be able to show and confidentiality. He or she is supported by private information (such as wages, the assessment of Yield and Budget Committee), the others do not have access to. You must ensure that he or she understands that the confidentiality is part of the employment and a breach of trust for the dismissal.
