Why did they do away with the Manager 360 surveys? We need those back to help develop the managers. They really need to bring back programs to develop the managers.
WHC. Once a year. The team was able to give honest anonymous feedback on their managers. It was not meant to get any one fired. It was meant to help improve management. We currently have several managers that may have impressive sales results as reps and can win-over upper management but cannot manage a team. HO feels the managers need to be in the field to coach the reps but someone needs to really coach the managers. The ABD's have no clue how the managers do their jobs. Some managers are better at "selling themselves" when in reality they are lousy managers. Not bad people...just not good managers.
very true. There are several managers I can think of right now who are total YES people and just climbing the corporate system.ABDs as well. 3 of the 6 people who were chosen for the culture thing in NJ are the biggest suck ups and smooth talkers ever. It worries me that Nelson will not turn this culture around. The only thing everyone seems to be engaged in is feeding LW and LH whatever BS they need.
They have the reviews, but they couldn't possibly use it for development and growth people. No, instead they use it as a threat.... and on the flip side they can orchestrate forcing people to review them, when the n is so small it would be visible, not anonymous...
These manager 360s should also be used for the ABDs? They should be evaluated hard. They had every opportunity to lead their people differently than the home office was managing. They were just as big a problem as LW was. No one trusts that level of management right now. There is almost zero tenure in the management team and the ABDs are just scrambling. They say 'transparency' but they are offering none. They should be saying they were and are responsible for some of the culture problems we have. What about an honest admission that you jacked things up too! #newday
Developmental tools at this point are like sending the captain of the titanic for a boating class after hitting the iceberg...this baby is going down.
If they properly deployed the 360 processes for managers there would be no f-ing Klaus Marten anymore.
Does anyone get bored to tears having to listen to their manager drone on and on about themselves, what they've accomplished, what they're doing, and why they are so great? I find it hard to pay attention and usually start daydreaming, googling something, or just clip my toenails. It might be easier to pay attention if they tried to engage you even a tiny bit instead of imposing their monologue on you.
