The TMI is a simple concept with powerful impact. This is the author’s third book, and it focuses on providing a concrete solution to one of the biggest issues in today’s workplace — employee engagement.
Are you fed up hearing the same motherhood and apple-pie statements at training workshops? It’s time to get down to the heart of the matter, and the heart of every organization is its people – its most valuable asset. And your most valuable commodity of course is your time.
Does your organization have a healthy heart? How can you tell? How do you check the pulse of your organization?
One of the biggest challenges every manager faces is the transition from being a technical advisor or top producer to becoming a manager. This requires the capacity to understand and apply the principle of working ‘on’ the business instead of ‘in’ the business. The TMI is a structured process that keeps you in touch with your core asset – your people. This is not electronic communication where you can hide behind your emails - this is face-to-face prime time communication. If feedback truly is the breakfast of champions, the TMI creates that essential avenue of communication necessary to build a channel for constructive feedback. It’s not rocket science, it’s simply getting back to basics and maintaining consistent, regular and effective communication with your people. This initiative is a simple concept that is powerfully effective, easy to implement and maintain, and will reap enormous rewards. Employees in today’s workforce have a voice, and they want it to be heard. But they want a structured process through which they can express that voice – the TMI delivers that structured process, which instantly diffuses rumor and speculation, raises morale, improves communication and performance, increases productivity, and builds a synergistic workforce and high trust culture.
This is the first in a series of practical hands on management techniques that will transform your business into a high performance organization.
Keeping your finger on the pulse of your organization, and turning common sense into common practice.
Knowledge without execution is simply academic. Intelligence is the creative use of knowledge, so we must learn how to turn ‘common sense’ into ’common practice’ through effective implementation. It is not enough that we know – we must learn how to apply. The TMI is a simple concept, but if you implement it in your organization it will have a powerful impact on engagement, morale, turnover, performance and productivity. The implementation is bridging that gap between knowledge and execution and turning this common sense concept into common practice.
It’s not rocket science. This is merely putting structure, process and format to effective communication, and enabling you to keep your finger firmly on the pulse of your organization. Does it take time? Yes. Does it require discipline? Yes. Will it take time to become part of the culture of your organization? Yes. Does it reap rewards? Absolutely! The ROI with the TMI is almost immeasurable. Remember the first four stages on the road to becoming a high performance organization – communication, trust, synergy and rhythm. By the time you’ve used the TMI in your organization for twelve months, you will begin to feel the rhythm.
You can introduce the TMI to your organization with a simple one-day workshop, and then monitor its progress throughout the year with occasional workshops and regular reporting/updates. For full details on how to do this, please contact MMI Training at:
