Workshops and management coaching for management frustrations like these:

Do you want to grow your business—in both sales and profitability? There's a proven science to rapidly significantly growing a business. Many of the proven principles and methods simply aren't taught in conventional business education and training. And, they are rarely taught by industry-specific experts. I have helped dozens of business owners and CEO's develop and implement an effective growth strategy.

Have any subordinates with whom you would like to improve his or her performance, or set and/or enforce boundaries? Or, have subordinates you just want to develop? Effective employee coaching is nearly always the tool to use for these situations. Conventional coaching has simply failed to be effective in the workplace. I can show you a coaching process that is proven to be highly effective.

Do you need better productivity and teamwork in your area of responsibility? There's a science to building productivity and teamwork. Workshops are useful for conveying the fundamentals of this science, but it usually takes one-on-one management coaching to achieve meaningful changes in management behaviors.

Have any difficult people or potentially explosive (or uncomfortable) issues you need to deal with? There are ways of handling difficult people and navigating touchy situations with absolute confidence that you will achieve consensus without arousing hostility. I can show you how to use questions to achieve Mental Alignment. I have found these Alignment Questions to be the most powerful human relations tool I've experienced. Many others agree.

Need to spend less time on reactive firefighting and more time on proactive development/improvement work? It's not easy. It's a matter of developing new work/management/leadership habits. I've coached dozens of people in developing these more effective habits.

Need to build more commitment in the people in your area of responsibility? You're not stuck with the current level of "motivation" of each of your subordinates. You can influence people to have higher levels of commitment. There are a lot of myths on "motivating" people. I've coached dozens of managers on how to truly build employee commitment.

Do you have changes you want to make in your area of responsibility? There's a science to leading change. Around two-thirds of change initiatives fail—because this science is rarely practiced. I can show you very simple, yet rarely used methods for obtaining employee buy-in to changes.

Do you have problem issues that keep coming up over and over? Mistakes and failures that keep occurring again and again are nearly always process problems even though it looks like it's just people screwing up. There's a science to process development and improvement. I've been practicing and teaching this science for over 25 years.

Do you wish you could understand why some of your subordinates do certain things? These behaviors can usually be understood and addressed by analyzing the person's emotional needs. You will be amazed at how predictable certain employee behaviors are once you understand what drives human behaviors.
