Annie Bartlett Consulting - Taking the Drama Out of Your People Management Problems

Take the Drama Out of People Management

Every day you stare down a host of employee problems - attrition, non-productive activities, personality conflicts, reluctance to change, lack of energy and enthusiasm about the work, and not getting along, to name just a few. Often there's a feeling of unnecessary drama around these issues.

But here's what we know: People are marvelously different and your ability to respect and harness these differences is what will catapult you to the top of your game.
 
 
 

      
The ABC of People Management

Managing People
Because most managers don't know how to effectively deal with their people management issues, they wind up making the problems worse instead of better, ultimately resulting in lost time, lost productivity, and lost personnel.

That's where we come in. We provide the kind of insight your managers are looking for to get the most from their employees and teams.

With 30 years of management and consulting experience, we understand that people are different. We know the difference various personalities, communication styles, and employee needs can make to your business.

We show you:
  • the little things your managers are doing right this minute which completely negate your valuing efforts - plus we explain why it's having a negative effect and what to do about it
  • why some employees never participate in a meeting but they'll talk to you one-on-one
  • why some are viewed as "Chicken Little" for the way they present a problem
  • why others are viewed as rude simply by the way they participate in a meeting
  • why some employees ask the same question of their boss over and over and over again
  • why your managers' employee coaching efforts are bombing out and what to do about it
  • the real reasons people leave
  • why you can spend a fortune on employee programs, knick-knacks, and events and still have a grumbling workforce

You won't find this information in any management training course, yet it's exactly the kind of information you need to have if you want your employees working harder and enjoying their job more. And we both know that combination means increased profits and a brighter future for your organization.

So, let's start a discussion about your specific people management issues.
