Essential to the success of every laboratory—including yours—is
a management culture of performance, effectiveness, teamwork,
and a "can-do" attitude. Yet too few laboratories enjoy
above-average performance from every manager on the team.
This
problem is simple to resolve when you understand the steps needed
to transform your management culture. We'll show you how to create
a culture where motivated, enthusiastic line and middle lab managers
achieve remarkable goals.
A weak management team is often the difference between a lab's
sustained success and a reputation of frequently missed targets.
To ensure your lab's continued success, join us for the upcoming
DARK REPORT audio conference on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. You'll
learn how to accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses of
your existing management structure. And get simple solutions to
help refocus your management talent into an energetic, effective
resource.
"Improving Lab Management Productivity: How To Evaluate Your
Team And Stimulate Increased Performance And Profitability"
will provide techniques to help you assess your existing line-up
of managers. Learn how to accurately identify your next superstar
achievers. Master the secrets of coming to terms with deficient,
weak, and underperforming managers—even if you've worked
alongside them for years. That could mean easing out non-performers
and those managers with poor attitudes who often drag down other
staffers and decrease performance.
You'll
get an easy, step-by-step plan that helps you fix the flaws in
your lab's management culture—thereby unlocking the enthusiasm
to achieve in both your managers and staff! Understand how poor
lines of authority, undertrained line and middle managers, and
a defective organizational culture can come together to create
an environment of underperformance and frustration. And finally,
you'll learn the techniques to fix these problems.
Our panel of experts will present tried-and-true tips, strategies
and ideas to help you shape your managers and their working culture
in new and exciting ways. These are techniques you can immediately
put to use in your laboratory. Best of all, you'll have the opportunity
to ask your own questions and get answers directly from some of
the most knowledgeable people in the industry.
This can't-miss session lets you gather your entire team together
to listen, learn and ask questions. Plan now to be with us on
October 21st for "Improving Lab Management Productivity:
How To Evaluate Your Team And Stimulate Increased Performance
And Profitability" and get the inside scoop on how you can
improve the working culture of your lab.
