A great, low-cost way to help new managers quickly learn some useful people management techniques, this highly practical and useful guide to getting the best out of people can help any new manager quickly establish themselves in their new role.

You get: A 40 tip guide – a downloadable pdf document. This can provide a useful supplement to whatever in-house training you offer your new managers.

This Guide Includes:

  • The top four ways you can motivate any team – with little or no budget.
  • Six magic questions you can use with your staff over and over again which will help you build good relationships and get them more involved and engaged.
  • Why 15 minutes a month is all you need to help strengthen good relationships with your staff.
  • How to keep staff motivated through change
  • How to confidently manage underperformance.
  • The single biggest mistake some managers make which causes underperformance problems.
  • How to establish yourself as a new manager in a team.
  • How to handle existing conflict or tension in any team quickly and easily, and then create the right environment which will minimise conflict in future.
  • How to run a great team meeting.

And a number of other, highly practical, simple to implement tips.

This is an easy read. No jargon or theory. No “fluff” or filler. Just practical, workable and proven tactics to help managers create a high performing, engaged and productive team.

If a manager implements even one or two of these tactics they will experience an increase and improvement in motivation and engagement from their staff, in the working relationships across their team and in productivity.

Plus: Team Motivator Bonus

This simple activity you can run with your team will:

  • Enable each one of your team to understand what motivates and de-motivates each other – in a fun, non-threatening way.
  • Help your team understand what motivates you too – so they know how to better communicate with you going forward.
  • Build understanding and tolerance in your team, as well as a healthy respect for each other’s strengths and needs.
  • Give you a really good understanding of what makes each of your team “tick”, so you can more effectively work with, influence and communicate with them.
  • Increase a sense of camaraderie and respect and decrease tensions or conflict in a team.

Download and print off the team activity, to run with as many teams as you like. I promise you – this exercise is highly effective!

Plus: Team Healthcheck survey

Giving your people an opportunity to feedback how they see the team working can be a valuable activity. However, as with any other tool, I’ve seen staff surveys done well, and badly. Your objective is to allow staff an opportunity to express, in a non-threatening way, their experience of working in the team at the moment.

You get:

  • The survey – consisting of 14 statements your team mark in terms of how much they agree or disagree with the statement. Just print as many copies as you need from the pdf template you receive in the package.
  • Simple instructions and tips about the most effective way to set this activity up with your team, and how best to follow up, once you have the completed surveys back from your staff.
  • A tool you can use over, and over again – with any team – and with any manager.

You could pay a significant amount for some of these more complex staff surveys you find online, but this tool, used in the right way, will give you an incredible insight into how your staff feel. You will be able to more accurately pin-point areas of concern, as a team, so you can agree appropriate actions to improve.

Best of all – your team will feel more engaged in the process.

Plus: Audio version of the guide

  • Guide available as a downloadable mp3.
  • Learn on the move or at a time to suit you.
  • Download as many times as you like within your organisation.
  • Enhances existing management training resources for minimal cost.

Do these techniques work?

Here are a couple of testimonials from managers we’ve worked with, who have applied these techniques:

Our team was going through a troubled period, but the suggestions from this programme have enabled me to steer the project through and deal with situations more effectively. Without some of these ideas I believe the problems would have become worse as I would have dealt with the issues and problems differently. My management approach and behaviour has changed dramatically. I now reflect and analyse things a lot more rather that just react. I consult with staff a lot more and ensure that they have an input into any decision making around areas of work, problems and issues etc. This wasn’t always the case previously. The staff have seen a change in me as a manager which has benefited the whole project and staff team. They are all on board with the vision that I have for the team and they all want to be part of it. I don’t think that this would have been the case previously.

Lee Stephenson, Jigsaw Project, N. Yorkshire

We have all been doing the motivator exercise (you gave us from the workshop) recently, which was a great help in the office, not only from a team perspective but also it gave me and my director a platform for a really frank but positive discussion on my own direction – so thanks very much once again!
