Furthermore, the poll concluded that poorly managed work groups are on average 50 percent less productive and 44 percent less profitable than well-managed groups. With the ability to improve the performance of average employees, or even bring good employees to “great,” it pays to have a company culture that trains, evaluates and rewards excellent management. Session participants found take-away value in this quote from Bob Nelson: “An employee’s motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.” Belinda Waldron chfareach Coordinator 303.297.7394 Connect with CHFA!
