What got them here won’t keep them here…at the next level. Moving from labor into management or supervision is not just a step up. Coming in from the field or warehouse, moving ‘off the tools’ into management is much different than stepping up in an office environment. In fact, there are at least seven different things that have to change and we expect managers to change overnight. They won’t.
Blue Collar University® has two primary functions:
- Train and develop people coming from labor into supervision and management with basic management skills.
- Help those that manage them to better understand and work with them making them more productive.
They have the job, now what?
- How clearly will you both know what the critical things that need to get done are? Most job descriptions don’t say.
- How will you both know if they are on the right path? What are the facts that tell you that?
Will they need help in these areas?
- Communications – What do they need to say and when? Who do they say it to?
- Presentations – Are they going to do presentations, even very brief ones, at meetings? Will they be effective or do they need help?
- Finances – Understanding how their position fits into the financial scheme of things?
My clients are motivated and want to be respected for a job well done. Often it is the simplest of things that can get a manager past the ‘tipping point’ and on track. If you or your manager want to find out more about how we might help you, we should talk -and the first bit is free. Call me, Bart Gragg, at 925.757.7473 or email me here.
