Lean Workshop #1

Know your WHO

Select the right manager to manage

 Problem this Solves:
Stop hiring managers and then saying to yourself
“Crap why am I still doing the same thing I was before?
Now I’m just stuck with more payroll!”

 And so begins the Management Vortex of Doom:

1. The first thing we tell ourselves is “I need a body anybody”
2. Then we hire who we think will be a good fit
3. We start asking them to do stuff that is not in their job description
4. So then we start doing the stuff THAT IS in their job description
5. And we are on fire all over again.

How you’ll avoid  the Management Vortex of Doom:
Decide the level of seniority you need, who they will be managing and what you can afford.

What you’ll use:
The Team Tree

Bonus:
Learn how to cut costs by not overspending on unnecessary
hires and avoid inflating your overhead.

Workshop Length:
20 minutes

Lean Workshop #2

Fix Your How

Optimize your delegation management systems

Problem this Solves:
Stop Stop taking 3-6 months to ramp up a new manager

And then we crawl through the Ramp up of Hell
Does any of this sound familiar?

Day 1: We throw them into choppy waters to sink or swim in what is happening, how it’s getting done, and who’s doing it 

Month 1: they figure out who their team is, what projects they're overseeing, and how things are performing

Month 2: they are getting a grip on the culture, dynamics, and communication

Month 3: can they make decisions, what happens when they mess something up (because they will), what are they doing with underperformers

Half a year goes by and now they can manage people, processes, and profits for that team.  

How you will create the ramp-up of awesomeness instead:
Get your manager to start paying for themselves in 3 weeks instead of 3 months.

Bonus
The # 1 simplest thing to save you 2.5 weeks of salary per employee every year.

What you’ll use:
Delegation Pyramid

Workshop Time.

Lean Workshop #3

See WHAT is happening

Design your Management Scorecard

Problem this Solves:
Most of us don't know if the managers are managing

And so we spin into the CEO Valley of Doubt
Which scenario stresses you out the most:

• An employee is underperforming - can anyone prove it?
• Manager is out - how is the team doing? what are they doing? can someone manage the teams’ performance, stat?
• New employee is hired - can we track results? are they meh, average, or great compared to the existing team?
• End of year - is there formal performance feedback? bonuses? does the team have any idea how they are doing?
• Budget cuts - do you know who to keep? who do you need? who’s clients' results you can’t live without? 

Create certainty with data-driven management:
Identify which KPIS you have, need to create, and can implement
so your team can own their performance and your managers can manage.

Bonus
How to give budgets and make sure your managers are making the same decisions you would when you are not around.

What you’ll use:
House of Management
