Performance Matters: The Importance of Praise - DVD

Hosted by John Cleese

Free Online Preview

At the top of the list of why people think of leaving their jobs is the fact that they feel they aren't appreciated enough.

This new program makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied.

A department with a high staff turnover is in danger of losing another member: the individual displayed initiative and commitment in helping a customer, yet their manager could only criticize the unauthorized expense of a taxi fare.

The Employee's attitude changes with renewed enthusiasm when the manager shows interest and appreciation in a job well done. Among the rules learnt are that it's important to let people know why they are being praised, make sure that the effect isn't ruined by a sting-in-the-tail remark, and to pass on praise from customers or superiors.

Features and applications:

  • Addresses the reasons why managers don't praise
  • Shows the value of adding praise to the corporate culture
  • Makes managers aware that it's important to seek opportunities to praise staff
  • Provides six easily-remembered rules for praising staff correctly
  • Proves that praising is not a natural gift but a learnable skill

Program includes: 24 minute VHS or DVD video

Organizations totally driven by the market consistently outperform their competition in profitability. These organizations carefully segment their markets and deliver an outstanding value proposition to their target customers. However, truly market-focused organizations must also pursue more than a sound market strategy. They must align their culture with the target customer value proposition. Professor Rao details the six levers of culture building, and explains how aligning these factors reduces employee stress and turnover, creating a self-selected, productive workforce that is in touch with the demands of potential customers.
