The Four T’s of Effective Employee Management

by 3 Comments

By Bob Cooper

If you are not getting the results you’re looking for from your employees, before you jump to any conclusions, the first thing you need to consider is the first T, which stands for Training. If your employees aren’t meeting your performance standards, then the solution may be as simple as providing them with the proper training. If training doesn’t work, then you need to move on to the second T: Transfer. You may very well have a great employee, but you may also have them in the wrong position in your company.  If training doesn’t work, and there is no other position you can transfer them to, the next step is for you to either Tolerate, or Terminate. If you decide to tolerate, the best advice I can give you is to get out a calendar, and set a deadline with the employee. Otherwise, you and your business may end up paying an extraordinary price, and when the day comes that you finally do let that employee go, you’ll be telling yourself you should have made the decision a long, long time ago.

A Mentor You Can Look Up To!

I’ve posted about this video before. However, the transition between high school and college may leave some students unclear or struggling with direction in life. Therefore, I thought it would be a good opportunity for you to hear how Chip Foose got his start. Chip is one of the most respected individuals in the automotive industries. His talents and skills are unbelievable and I sincerely believe that Foose is a person anyone would be proud to consider as a mentor. Watch this video, absorb his advice, stay focused on your goals, persevere, and don’t look up until you’re there. Life is going to throw some obstacles in your way. However, go around them and keep moving forward.

I agree with Foose. You’re going to spend a long time doing whatever career you choose. So you might as well do what you’re passionate about. Life is too short not to be happy. I also commend Chip for following the advise that his father gave him. “If you’re going to do something, do your absolute best and do it right, or don’t do it at all.” I’ve personally seen a few of the vehicles that they’ve done on the TV show Overhaulin’ and I can testify that he lives by the words of wisdom his father taught him.
