Time for the Little Green Men to Arrive

Agents Scully and Mulder (X-Files) were right. The truth is out there somewhere.

With the frenetic past year, it’s time to reset ourselves to move forward and create our own positive futures. The White House antics are a distraction from what’s important in our personal lives. We can’t hold our collective breath any longer.

Creative business management styles are especially important during fluctuating times. Open-book management is one such strategy.

Open-book management relies on a fact-based system. It is transparency that buoys the entire company.

The premise is that all employees are able to be informed about the health of a business. It is useful for quarter all-hands’ meetings, for example. By doing this, leadership has an easier time explaining policy and personnel changes. This is an excellent opportunity to “brainstorm” and get ideas about how to trim waste and increase engagement for optimum performance.

“Companies that practice open-book management seem to have captured some sort of lightning in a bottle.” — Chris Lee, Training, referring to

John Case’s book, (Senior Writer for Inc. Magazine)

This approach requires a staunch commitment to transparency. It isn’t an attempt to air “dirty laundry.” It is a courageous move to achieve optimum buy in at every level of the business.

The key success factor of Open-book management is the motivation potential. Personnel can self-motivate when they see their direct connection to the company results.

In September, I will be facilitating a VMP™ (Virtual Mastermind Project) Series on Open Book Management. For advanced information on how to bring this information to your business unit,hit the button!

Coachcubas

As a credentialed business coach and analyst, one of my primary functions is to work with individuals and company managers to clarify where they are presently, where they would like to advance, and what tools they have and need to achieve their desired outcome.

I use a variety of tools to assess perceptions including Platinum Rule instruments, my experience and training in assessing behavior. My preferred tool is the EQ-i®, emotional intelligence inventory. I have specialized training on the EQ-i® and DISC Inventories and access to multiple other sources including a company culture index. I prefer the EQ-i® because it is the least judgmental instrument I have found. It focuses on strengths and areas of development related to the goals set by the individual. For example, people are more likely to apply the EQ-i®’s information rather than label themselves by the Myers-Briggs categories.
