Many managers are reactive - they just turn up to work each day and solve problems. But what about being ahead of the game, controlling events rather than reacting to them? That's the dream!
This book has two parts. The first part is about what you, as a manager, should be doing every day, every week, every month and every year, in order to be ahead of the game. The second section lists the questions you should be asking yourself in order to be completely in control and optimising your results.
The first part includes
• management by walking about,
• thanking people
• team and project progress meetings
• coaching
• going back to the floor
The second part includes
• What would happen if we put our price up a bit?
• What are our competitors planning?
• Could we reduce costs if we increased our quality?
• How effective is your use of your time?
• What extra tasks can't be delegated, and are you sure?
• What is the 20% that contributes 80% of our costs?
• …and many more
