8 Signs of Incompetent Managers- Free Report

Lessons learned from productive companies, worldwide

You might be interested in the findings of the following report from Profiles International:

‘Effective managers do more than just supervise employees. They take responsibility for ensuring that an individual succeeds, and that the team, department, or business unit achieves expected results. Effective managers are like successful coaches who develop teams that win championships year after year.
Like winning coaches, successful managers are both talented and skilled. Of course, managerial skills can be developed through training, mentoring, and experience. But if a manager lacks natural talent, his or her odds of success will diminish significantly.
In our work, we have seen time and time again that these organisations are typically more proactive than their peers when it comes to identifying and developing effective managers. The most productive companies provide their managers with the information and tools they need to understand the capabilities and styles of their teams. This gives managers a solid foundation for more effective coaching relationships.

Over the years we have identified eight signs of incompetent managers:
1. Poor communication skills
2. Weak leadership capabilities
3. Inability or unwillingness to adapt to change
4. Poor relationship-building skills
5. Ineffective task management
6. Insufficient production
7. Poor development of others
8. Neglectful of own personal development’

If you would like a Free copy of the report please click here. As a Strategic Business Partner of Profiles International and with 10 years experience of training and developing effective managers we would be delighted to help you tackle any of the 8 signs. Please email us for an initial discussion at enquiries@mrjconsulting.co.uk.

Step One Survey II Solves a Vital Business Problem

MRJ Consulting are pleased to announce the launch of a new product from Profiles International. It is called the Step One Survey II, a pre employment screening assessment that measures candidates attitudes to integrity, substance abuse, reliability and work ethic.

It is an entry level product that can be used at any level in an organisation and will play very well for those organisations that require CRB checks or drugs tests pre-employment. Why use it? Read the following:

Dishonesty is a Workplace Reality
The results of employee surveys reflect the reality of your applicant pool:

bullet56 percent of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
bullet41 percent say they have falsified records
bullet64 percent admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
bullet35 percent have stolen from their employers, by their own admission
bullet31 percent abuse drugs or alcohol

Those who have studied the problem say about 80 percent of computer crime is committed by “insiders,” at an estimated annual cost of as much as £600 million.

Is it any wonder an estimated 36,000 companies are “stolen out of business” every year by their employees?

The Step One Survey II is completed online and results produced within minutes. For a sample report please email enquiries@mrjconsulting.co.uk or click here for further information.
