 If
you'd rather go through a root canal, than sit through
another performance evaluation with your Boss . . .
You'd
better read this now.
Dear Colleague:
You
ever had one of those meetings? Where afterwards you come home from
work and wish you were unemployed?
I know
that feeling. I remember, back in 1991 . . .
It
was time for my annual review. That dreaded meeting where my boss
would spend a very long hour telling me how bad I
was at my job.
It
wasn't exactly like the pointy haired boss in the "Dilbert"
cartoon, but it wasn't far off either . . .
You
see, throughout my career, I worked my way up the ladder. For years,
I received rave reviews. I stood out in my organization as a mover
and shaker. I did such a good job . . . they promoted me!
Now
my role was to get things done—through other people. Although
I was very excited to have more help … I was scared to death.
I
had never supervised anyone before.
No
one had prepared me for how challenging it would be. When it
was just me doing things, I didn't have a problem. I could do anything.
I would study harder, work harder, and do whatever I had to, to
get things done right. That was no longer enough . . .
Now
I was supposed to delegate things. Manage people. Inspire them,
lead them, and be their boss.
I didn't
even know how to hire people—let alone train them after they
came on board.
My
fast-paced career ascent soon turned into a daily torture. Every
waking moment was spent thinking about how much I needed to learn
about supervising my staff . . .
How
was I supposed to motivate them? How could I help them improve?
Could
I be their boss and still be liked at the same time? How could
I get my own work done, and still oversee that my staff was doing
what they were supposed to?
And
now I sat in that meeting with my boss . . . who was about to tell
me how I was struggling . . . as if I didn't know that already!
Before
I learned how to supervise others, hire people, train them and develop
teams—I had many of those days!
It
seemed that every time I turned around I was confronted with astonishing
difficulty. I had staff that was disrespectful and down right rude.
Some employees wanted to come in late, take long lunches and leave
early! Others were there, but never really did anything. I needed
a cattle prod to get them on task!
Imagine
the opposite. Put yourself in this picture . . .
You
. . . sleeping like a baby at night, and being thrilled about your
job! Your career moving to the next level based on your success.
Basking in the pride that comes with each and every accomplishment
of your team.
Imagine
being such a positive role model that every one of your staff members
bend over backwards to make you and your department look good. Other
leaders in your organization coming to you for guidance. "How
did you create such a motivated work group?" they ask.
This
is not a figment of your imagination. This can really happen
for you.
How
do I know? Because that's exactly what happened for me.
I have
created the best team ever, using all the wisdom that I have gained.
A team that is focused on our company's mission to save people from
the pain of not having the skills to be successful. Daily, we work
with organizations to develop their workforce to be excited about
their jobs and motivated to deliver exceptional customer service.
Now,
I want the same thing for you. Let me explain . . .
Out
of my frustration in 1991, I began studying the best. I sought out
successful managers to learn their secrets. After consulting with
hundreds of these high achievers, I learned their insider tips.
I began to practice what I learned and create strong results . .
.
I learned
how to hire great people, and empower them to be their best. And
I learned how to forge strong teams, with one vision, that can work
together to achieve a goal.
Now,
I have synthesized and assembled this powerful information in a
resource that can help you achieve the same great results. It's
called the . . .
