2 Brilliant Tips for Getting the Employees You Want!

david-osborne-70You Can Save Time, Energy and Money.

Business owners and CEO’s have three extremely valuable BUT LIMITED assets and that’s time, energy and money. The strange thing is that again and again I hear of business owners and senior managers spending their valuable time and energy trying to train their staff to do the right things at the right time to get the right result. Then as the months go by and nothing really changes they realize they are wasting their resources because they have not asked themselves two crucial question and they are:

- How do I know if the employees I am training want to learn and improve?
– How do I know if the employees I am training want to use this knowledge to improve my business or my department?

This is a waste of resources and damages their health that’s guaranteed, there is enough research now to prove that anxiety, stress or anger not only prematurely age you, but they also shorten your life span.

So how do you know if an employee actually wants to learn and improve and how do you know if they actually want to use this knowledge to achieve your business goals?

Answer and tip one: Ensure you check the commitment of an employee during the selection phase by getting them to fill in a rigorous selection criteria.

The Benefit of a Selection Criteria Form is:

A. You will immediately find out whether the applicant is really committed to your position if they can be bothered to fill in the selection criteria and send it back to you. Seven out of ten applicants will not return the selection criteria and this is great because these people are not driven, motivated and committed enough to fill in the form and these people are not the people you want in your business.

B. The selection criteria can collect a lot of objective relevant information about a candidate. This information is directly related to what you need to find out about this person

C. The selection criteria force the applicant to ask themselves. “Do I really want to do this role?”

D. The selection criteria give you great insight about the candidate’s ability to read instructions, understand them, reflect on the content and then comply with your directions. Candidates who fill in the selection criteria are far more likely to achieve results for you than those who can’t find time to fill in the form.

Test Them!

Now how do you know if the employees you are training want to use this knowledge to improve your business or your department?

Answer and tip two: There are some simple but brilliant psychometric tests on the market that clearly show if the candidate you are reviewing or even if an existing employee is truly interested in self improvement. Chet Holmes one of America’s leading sales and marketing guru says:

“You’d be crazy not to use these personality assessment services today,
they are scary accurate and can save you tens of thousands in hiring and management.”

Why waste time, energy and money?

You can now easily find out:

·         If the employees YOU are training want to learn and improve?….And
·         If the employees YOU are training want to use this knowledge to improve your business?

Why have a Coach?

Why do I Need One?

Well, the answer is very simple. All we need to do to is look at any top flight sportsperson, they do not get to that level without having outside help, simply because a coach can help develop their fundamental skills, observe them in action, provide appropriate input, support, and accountability in what they are doing and encourage them to do the best that they possibly can with what they have.

In business it’s absolutely no different. In my own case, I know that I certainly went through most of my business career not achieving anywhere near what I could have done.

The common denominator in all this was me. And I suspect that this is a familiar story for many people, maybe even you.

The thing is, I knew there was a problem, but I didn’t know what it was. My level of thinking at the time did not allow me to see other possibilities and opportunities. Had I had a coach who could ask the right questions and help me get insights into the way I was behaving and to develop new ways of thinking and acting, I would probably have achieved far more than I did.

With the clients I have been working with so far, what they have achieved has been nothing short of amazing, and all this from just having somebody provide them with the right nutrients help to them to blossom, and the environment for them to grow to their full potential.   So it really is very simple – Why wouldn’t you ask for help?

Productivity and Procrastination

What is productivity?

The dictionary definition of productivity is; “The ratio of the quantity and quality of units produced to the labor per unit of time”, but the bottom line for any business is profit.

A lot of people suffer from procrastination, and it can be very frustrating. They want to produce. Consciously they want to produce something but for some reason they find themselves doing other things that aren’t as important or are just time wasting. There’s always an excuse and things end up not getting done anywhere near as quickly as they could be, if at all.

Now, the simple fact is that there is plenty of information around on how to improve productivity, lots of tools & tricks, all you need to do is go down the bookstore or go onto the Internet, look it up and you’ll find all sorts of books and products to help you. Time management, prioritizing, delegation and so forth, but that’s not what I’m talking about today.

The Reality

If it was that simple that’s what you would do, you would go off buy a book, read it, put it into practice and all would be done. Procrastination happens when there’s incongruence or an incompatibility between what you consciously think you want to do and what you subconsciously want to do.

Guess what? Unless you are aware, your subconscious will win every time.

But you know that already don’t you?

Your actions betray your real intentions and getting to the bottom of what your real intentions are is something that most people need help with.

Set Goals

It maybe as simple as: Find out what you really want, set some tangible goals and actions around those and then use an effective coaching methodology to make them happen.

To produce effectively, you need to be internally and externally congruent and be really, really clear on what it is that you want and go for it. Having a coach helps you clear up the inevitable roadblocks that will arise along the way.

So there you have it. Simple, but perhaps not very easy without help.

How much is trying to tough it out on your own costing you?
