Reflection On High Performance Management

855 Words4 Pages

A few weeks ago I spoke, along with Tom Anselmi, the COO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and Phil Lamb, the former CEO of Cott Canada, at a workshop. The topic was High Performance Management which, like golf, looks easy and isn't and requires a number of things to work together simultaneously. Get one wrong or out of synch with the others and the result will not be what you intended - in fact it could be quite the opposite.

I've worked with owner managed companies for the last 12 years and listening to Tom and Phil talk about their experiences confirmed my own thinking. The ingredients for High Performance Management are the same no matter what the size of company you own or work in although obviously the application is different. So …show more content…

They would have no opportunity to adjust their game plan for what had actually taken place in each period. Imagine if the coaches didn't give each player feedback on their performance and how it contributed to the team's results. (A few members of the audience wanted to discuss the Leafs' and Jays' performance with Tom Anselmi.)

Businesses are no different. Owners of High Performance companies regularly measure actual performance and give feedback to absolutely everyone. They do this several ways. The owner and her/his management team (and sometimes his/her advisors) take a half day just after the results for each quarter become available to compare actual results to the quarter's goals. Then they spread the news about the company's performance to everyone. They post it for every team member to see, the talk about it at every opportunity and they celebrate success big-time.

I want to leave you with a great quote from a great book. In "CEO Tools - the nuts and bolts for every manager's success" Kraig Kramers has this to say. "Nothing leads to success like having clear, written, repetitively communicated goals. Nothing!" Kramers has an impressive record of success as a CEO and he uses lots of examples from his career to support this statement - and all of the others he makes.

If it is unobtainable, make it obtainable. If your goals are too difficult to reach, that's okay, just make them more manageable. If everything has been tried in order to achieve a certain goal but still no cigar, just devalue whatever it is and forget about it. In a nutshell, this is what Stanford professor Bernard Roth preaches in the first chapter of his book The Achievement Habit. In order to persuade his audience, Roth utilizes rhetorical appeals such as: logos, ethos, a and pathos, but does so rather ineffectually .

Second, to strategically develop a plan on how I am planning on achieving those objectives. Third, by designating alternative methods in case that one of the strategies does not work use a different one.

This enables them to understand each other and build a better relationship since the team members are neurotic. However, there are always two sides to a story and therefore having too much communication might create insecurities or conflicts.

(Salancik & Pfeffer, 1977) a study found that the use of the “word” goal indicates to an individual that a task is achievable. This study stresses the use of the word “goal” has a positive impact on motivation, a point held by the goal setting theory. This could therefore be applied to my EPP experience with the use of the word goal being used to describe objectives and aspirations of the organisation. However, within my time at the organisation goal setting theory was not always described as goals we needed to achieve, this may have intern limited the possible motivation given to tasks. Some goals set were not being achieved, which counters goal setting theories stance on setting achievable goals.
