Recession-Proof Your Job and Amp Up the Value to Your Organization with a Ridiculously Simple,  Proven High-Performance,  Accountability System

 

The 90 Day Leadership Challenge


A High-Performance, Accountability System can be your career life-saver and what your business unit needs right now.  The fact is, many leaders and managers are struggling with getting their products and services out the door, given the dramatic upheaval they face in their business every day.

Without leaving your office or draining the budget you can simply and systematically propel your leadership and management competence to the next level.  Discover a simple, proven system that provides you with a competitive advantage to delivering as promised, every time by joining me for 6 laser sessions over the next 90 days.

Let’s get right to the point.  Management science has not kept up with the changes you face.  At this very moment you may be operating from an obsolete management system that makes you work longer and harder and actually prevents you from getting the breakthrough results that are demanded of you.  

You know the feeling . . .

  • You face constantly shifting strategies and goals

  • You’re compelled to create double the results in half the time

  • Budgets are slashed, resources vanish, and new projects with impossible deadlines and soaring expectations land on your desk

  • You face the difficulties of communicating across departments, disciplines, and  even across language and cultural barriers

  • You’re under the same pressure yet you’re challenged by the pressure of  24 x 7 demands, virtual production problems, conflicting mind sets about work, a failure to honor commitment and accountability

  • Ask any manager to list their frustrations creating extraordinary results through the effort of others and they will point to things like disinterest and misunderstanding of corporate objectives, failure to follow through on commitments and having to do too many things themselves

  • But what if there was a way to leverage the managerial competence you’ve gained by adding a proven, simple, “up to date” management system?

  • What if there was an easy to follow, step-by-step blueprint that gave you the key for creating results quickly and easily, by-passing the hundreds of hours it would take you to do this on your own.

  • What if you could you could develop a bullet-proof, high-performance work unit while you’re producing your products and services?

  • What if you could leverage the 6 Quotients of Leadership to handle the rapid fire challenges that come at you every day without breaking your stride?

    Hint: Most leaders have only handled 3 of the 6 and it handcuffs their performance and effectiveness.

You would jump on it! Well the opportunity is here!

Gain Positive Attention and Enhance Your Corporate Identity with "Simple and Doable Collaboration and Commitment Generating" Tools

In 90 days you will:

1. Have a management system in place that:

2. Allows you to effectively produce your products and services and

3. In the process, develop a high-performing, accountable work unit

4. This system will help you to get what you what you need to work through others

Enchance your professional identity by increasing your interaction competence. Isn't that the point? Bottom line your work identity is what gets you paid, bonused and promoted and how you go about your work each day is what leads to your identity.If you could do the work all by yourself, you would not need what I am offering.

Look, your financial future is largely dependent on your ability to fulfill your commitments. Each time you produce what you've promised to deliver your value skyrockets. You get noticed and others wonder how you did it. You become the go-to-person.

"The more I work with Bob, the more impressed I am with the simple yet powerful nature of these concepts and tools for creating clarity around commitments and getting things done. They are proven techniques, and they are working with both functional and project teams!"

Randy Englund, Author, Consultant, Trainer

What is a High Performance, Accountability System going to do for your work and career?

“Last year I felt I was drowning.  The training is changing the way I see and do things. I still have the same amount of work but feel good and I’m getting more done."

Mark Greene, Manager Software Development

Having a Bullet-Proof Productivity System is the Easiest Way to Take Your Career to the Next Level.

You want to increase your productivity, enhance your professional identity, but you’re not sure about the High-Performance, Accountability System as a way to do that.  Fair enough.  You’ve never heard of it so you should question it. After I developed the system and began to follow it myself  (yes, at times I actually forgot to use my own system), I kept every promise I made and got paid very well.

The system is my secret.  

The work I did using the system turned into invitations to deliver to very exciting, fast growth companies, train-the-world-wide-trainers of a Fortune 100 and present the system at Stanford University.

“The Integration tool, which we used to check the critical dependencies my groups have with each other, is immediately “leverageable” to identify action plans for improving communication and delivery.  This tool is of great value.  My team members became more aware of how interdependent they are and the impact they have on each other’s deliverables.  This increased their sense of “team” and is greatly impacting their productivity.”

Michael Paczan, CTO, Vast Systems Technologies, Inc.

Now is the Time to Break Through  Previous Limitations In Your Career

You’ve got a lot to do, you may feel overwhelmed and stuck and you’re looking for something to help you forward action.  Well, you’re in luck.  This course is just for you.

What makes me so certain you will establish and cement your High-Performance  culture?

Look, I know you are bright, ambitious and talented. However in today’s chaotic business corporate climate even the best and brightest are easily overwhelmed. So what is needed is an environment that streamlines the decisions making and production process.   A process that shows you step by step how to easily integrate and apply our proprietary knowledge to your toughest, most intractable problems.    You may find after only a short immersion in our powerful technology you begin to realize all you need to do is follow the suggested steps.  This program is your direct passport to the high efficiency culture you have dreamed about. When you follow our system you will:

Know exactly what has been blocking you efforts and reducing your energy
Get all the guidance, structure and step-by-step “how-tos” to create your own remarkable team or unit culture
See your high-performance system begin to take shape right in front of your eyes over the next months.

 “You delivered on your course promise….I’m seeing results already.  I’m surprised how little I knew about securing commitments and getting ‘pull energy’ from my people.…  I have already started feeling the difference by using the tools you shared and keeping the ‘log to follow through model’. I realized there used to be some gaps in the past which resulted in people not delivering or not even reporting back they cannot meet the commitment.”

Thanks.

Salil Prasad, PMP, CSM, Saba Software

Tom Hayse, CEO, ETM

"The most impressive aspect I've garnered from Bob's 90-Day Leadership Challenge is not only how valuable the key elements of the course have been to my own day-to-day managerial approach, but how easily I've been able to transfer these precepts to my team so they can begin operating almost immediately with a higher level efficiency.  I am seeing commitments followed through more timely from my team and the team itself has observed that resources they work with are hitting their commitments more reliably.  Overall satisfaction levels have increased as people better understand their roles and expectations."

Sincerely, Bill Analla
