Management Training
As
a manager, when was the last time someone came to you with
a solution that could really make your professional life easier,
less stressful, more effective and more successful? Well,
there is a first time for everything. We have a developed
a Management Training workshop to help you accomplish all
of this and more. We know you have to put up with crazy people
and unreasonable deadlines. We know everyone expects you to
get more done in less time with fewer resources. And we know
how to help you do it! Our experienced instructors –
all successful managers themselves – will take you through
a step-by-step management training process that will give
you powerful tools you can take back to the job and use to
get results the very first day.
Evaluating
your managers from every angle can help you discover your
team's flaws and put your business back on track.
Do
you want to know about the gaps in your business plan? What
about the flaws in your management team? Or the detailed personality
traits of all your team members? If you've answered no to
these questions, stop reading right here. But for those of
you who live by the mantra "Forewarned is fore-armed,"
check out a serious evaluation that could help you determine
the strengths and weaknesses of your management team and business
plan.
The Management Team Performance Assessment is a detailed series
of evaluations designed by T. Williams Consulting (TWC), a
management consulting firm in Collegeville, Pennsylvania,
in league with members of the University of Pennsylvania's
Department of Behavioral Health. What sets it apart from other
evaluations is the psychological analysis of every member
of your management team—it has a strictly clinical side.
"A lot of start-ups struggle...and a lot have failed.
[We wanted to know] what you can do to increase your chances
of succeeding," says Terry Williams, founder and CEO
of TWC. "We believe it's all about the execution and
the people [as well as the] ability and the makeup of teams
that play a big [role]."
Though
the assessment is usually used by venture capitalists to help
them make better investment decisions, entrepreneurs who want
to know their own management team's strengths and weaknesses
can use the system as well, according to Williams. The assessment
consists of two parts: the business side and the psychological
side. The team at TWC heads up the business aspect, where
they look at things like the level of experience each team
member has, former businesses started, reputation in the industry
and how each member's experience and ability complements the
team as a whole—they'll even do professional background
checks, if requested.
The team at the University of Pennsylvania, led by Dr. Jody
Foster, interim chair of the university's department of psychiatry,
handles the psychological profile and analysis of the members.
The two assessments are then melded into one analysis for
the companies. If, for example, your company is peopled with
micromanagers, yet no one has any financial planning background,
they'll bring that to your attention and offer solutions.
"It evaluates managers from four different angles as
opposed to most packages, which will evaluate them by [just]
one," says Foster. "We're approaching them from
every conceivable angle that any psychologist, psychiatrist
or management consultant would use."
"The
philosophy behind it is that people's personality traits and
maybe even their personal dynamics influence their behavior
at work," says Foster. "We can assess that in a
scientific or rational way and give an overview of who people
are, [then] combine those people together into management
teams and evaluate how those teams interact with each other.
Then we can conceivably provide very valuable information
both to the entrepreneurs and to people who might be interested
in investing in their companies.
