Manager’s Guide – Key to Productivity
By definition a successful manager is one who gets the most productivity from the people who report to them. No matter what industry you are in, there is one key to getting the very most from your personnel. If you understand the motivation, what really drives each individual toward success, and you know how to use this information, then you will see consistently higher levels of productivity. This is an obvious statement, but implementation can be more challenging.
Every manager wants to use successful motivation techniques to drive production. These techniques should be a part of a long term strategy, and so, should not use negative short term threats if you want to retain your best personnel and nurture their productivity over time. Threats of time pressure and “take away’s” are not the best management tools in most situations, especially where you are trying to build trust that will in turn bring greater long term commitments to improving your bottom-line.
