Shut Down The Management Machine
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein
At some point even the best of us fall victim to the insanity game. Most of us eventually realize the faux pas and snap ourselves out of the episode. But, sometimes we get in so deep we need someone else to step in and snap us out. So, to all sales leaders who are still managing employees: “IT’S TIME TO SNAP OUT OF IT!”
Management is the exact act of doing same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
I hear the same rotation over and over:- “We send employees to training”
- “I Hire ‘good’ people”
- “We have a great e-learning system or portal”
- “I tell my people what I need”
Yet these statement are never followed with “…and it is working great, I have the best, most knowledgeable, highest performing employees.” These methods of management are not working. Employee after employee fails out, loses interest, becomes discourage, under performs, quits, etc., nonetheless, every new employee is entered into the same “management machine” and every time you expect different results…INSANITY.
Shut down the “management machine”! Try engaging, motivating and inspiring employees…try coaching. What do you really have to lose?
