What Do You Want? You have a vision for your company’s success…. You know what you want to achieve… You have developed your business plan for growth! You believe that your people are you greatest asset! You have invested in hiring good people… You have promoted your best performers into leadership positions…. You know that your success depends on your people’s success… and you are betting on your leadership team to produce results. Have you invested in?


  • Hardware

  • Software

  • Training

  • Benefits

  • Amenities

  • Seminars

  • Bonuses

  • Contests

  • Facilities

  • Training



BUT nothing has really produced quantified, bottom-line results that tie to driving the business plan! Are you frustrated that your people are not achieving the level of performance you need and know that they should be capable of?




WHY Are You Not Getting Results?


What is the issue? Where is the problem? What am I missing? What do we need to do differently? And more importantly, what strategy do I need to implement?




What Do Your People Want?


According to the latest research, people want praise and recognition for their contributions. They want to work for an organization with a mission and purpose that aligns with their identity.


Two of the most important demands of the modern workforce are:

1. They are pursing development, not correction.

2. They want leaders who can coach them to build their strengths.



The Blame Game


Is it a people issue? Do we have the wrong people? Most often Management places the blame on not finding and hiring the “right” people… or typically the blame is also placed on a failed selection process to promote the “right” people into your leadership positions.


Who is to blame? Who are your employees blaming? The answer is hiding in plain sight!



The Alignment Gap


  • 50% of employees don’t know what performance is expected

  • 60% of employees have not had a conversation with their immediate supervisor about their performance in the last 12 months

  • 80% of employees don’t feel that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to achieve outstanding results at work

  • 82% of managers don’t have the skills needed to improve team performance - Gallup


It is a Misalignment issue – which is all about your people! The people in your organization suffer from the lack of aligned and skilled leaders that are capable of developing them, increasing engagement, and leading improved performances!



It’s the Manager


  • Managers that are not ALIGNED to your vision nor your strategic business plan, lack the capability to lead their teams and deliver the right results

  • Managers that lack essential LEADERSHIP SKILLS, to effectively Coach and Develop their people, are set up to fail!


According to George Gallup, the single most profound, distinct, and clarifying finding – ever – is that 70% of the variance in team engagement is determined solely by the manager!


So, where is the greatest impact for your people in aligning your organization? It is with the relationship developed between your managers and their people!



What is Strategic Alignment?


Strategic Alignment occurs when every individual in the organization is committed to the corporate vision and unified in action to ensure its continuing success.


How to align performance to achieve the vision becomes the ultimate challenge for every organization



Why Strategic Alignment & Why Now?


Without Strategic Alignment your people are not connected. They lack the clarity of how they fit and how their contribution matters to the organization’s success. This leads to communication breakdown, confusion, lack of teamwork and workplace contention, which are all roadblocks to success.


Strategic Alignment creates connectivity at every level of the organization, allowing innovation to create breakthrough performances. Alignment is more important now than ever for an organization to gain the competitive edge. Alignment is not an event; it’s a process that is necessary to remain competitive!



Ability vs. Capability


All of your managers possess the ability to become effective coaches who can drive innovation and improve performance. But to possess the capability, they need to develop the skills by learning and applying proven tools and techniques.



Transform your Management Team

The Aligned Performance System


The Aligned Performance System (APS) utilizes a unique transformational development system, (See, Learn, Do & Become). APS develops your people’s ability to transform themselves into Performance Coaches, capable of aligning individual and team performance. They will be equipped to lead their team to take immediate action that will improve results.



Manager to Coach

A Proven Process


Employees who are coached to performance, rather than managed to performance, take ownership, and are vested in continual improvement, driving achievement of the organizational goals.


For a transformational process to be successful, it requires three elements:


1. TOOLS Learn the “right” combination of the alignment tools and strategies that will produce results


2. TECHNIQUES - Implement the tools using the right approach and techniques to effectively apply the tools with their teams


3. SKILL DEVELOPMENT – Develop your managers into Aligned Performance Coaches in our proven workshop environment, where they will learn to use the coaching tools and techniques.



Why It Produces Results!


ALIGNED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM (APS):

1. The Right Combination of Five Proven, Alignment Strategies

2. Chronologically sequenced – in the Right Order

3. Optimally Timed – in the Right Intervals



Why will this work for your company?


Every company with whom we partner is unique. It doesn’t matter what size company, if you are a manufacturer or a service provider, a public, private, or government entity. Every business has one thing in common: their success depends on their people – their most valuable asset.


Aligned companies outperform all other companies. When companies can increase their number of talented (Aligned) managers and double the rate of engaged employees, they achieve, on average, 147% higher earnings per share than their competition. (Gallup – Why are great managers so rare)


The answer is, it’s all about your people! Not that you have the wrong people. To have the “right” people who have the “right” skills, you must invest in developing and aligning your managers into leaders
