Performance Management – Day to Day

Some managers are poor at this. They are reluctant to address performance issues. They avoid performance problems. They neglect great performers.

This course will help ensure you are NOT one of them.

This course will help you as an individual, as part of a group or as a leader develop your ability to solve problems and make decisions.

Success Success Success

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics, and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded."

I used this quotation on a session and was asked to post it on the website.

It is attributed to Ralph W. Emerson – although there has been some debate as to whether he was the originator.

Whoever wrote it I think it is thought provoking for many of us in business and in life. Do we need to re-evaluate our priorities? Do we need to clarify what we see as Success?

Feedback

On behalf of all my colleagues and associates, I want to thank you for the very effective delivery of “Leadership Skills” training over the past years, in numerous locations we operate. Not only the groups benefited as a team from your training and tips, but thoroughly enjoyed the combination of fun and learning and are still talking about the experience.

One of the main benefits that I received from working with Martin was identifying strengths and weaknesses and developing strategies to leverage one and minimise or eliminate the other. Using this I now make better decisions by having clarity and structure in both my analysis of issues and thought processes which helps greatly in finding solutions.

His delivery is first class, he combines presentation of practical theory with helpful individual feedback and excellent use of humour. Martins’ training has helped all participants to maximise their new learning and combine it with existing professional skills leading to enhance performance in the workplace.
