Review the SOUL facts that characterize good leaders ...

• Fact 1: Good leaders recognize that each person is unique in terms of their experience, skills and motivational needs (an initial state when starting their tasks), and what they offer to an organization. Good leaders use the knowledge from Fact 1 to communicate and ensure that each member is engaged and set up to excel while doing his/her job.

• Fact 2: Good leaders recognize that each person learns differently, consciously or unconsciously, and they are in a perpetual state of gaining experience, refining/increasing their skills and determining what’s motivationally important to them (a perpetual state of learning and growth while completing assigned tasks). Good leaders use the knowledge from Fact 2 to ensure that each member remains engaged to excel in performance and to achieve customer satisfaction.

• Fact 3: Good leaders use Fact 1 (initial state of experience, skills and motivation) and Fact 2 (perpetual state of learning and growth) to make good decisions about how to align and manage their teams to reliably achieve business goals.

Secret Sauce is in Using Uniqueness of Employees

CT offers SOUL (Solutions Offering Unique Learning), simple algorithms supported by metrics and software that address three leadership facts. Fact 1 is that each employee is unique in terms of their experience, skills and motivational needs when doing their job. This fact provides direction in assigning tasks. Fact 2 is that each employee is in a constant state of learning and growth, whether aware or unaware, based on their daily job experiences. This focuses on their learning while completing the task. The next and final fact is vital to YOU making money. Fact 3 is that management supervision must maintain the alignment of each employee’s uniqueness, based on Fact 1 (being assigned a task) and Fact 2 (completing a task), to ensure that the customer is consistently satisfied, even when requirements, time or money change. It is neither more complex than nor as easy as 1, 2 and 3.

Our turn-key software approach is described below:

When a manager does not provide direction or follow-through based on SOUL facts 1, 2 and 3, there is a potential of losing money for the organization. Good leaders must be aware of their team’s unique experience, skills and motivation, and continual learning (on-the-job or other) necessary to maintain alignment with satisfying the customer needs. As a leader maintains this alignment, the company’s potential for making more and more money increases. If a leader neglects this responsibility, the organization becomes at risk. Obviously, as the size of the workforce grows, the ability to maintain alignment associated with each employee’s unique experience, skills and motivation becomes overwhelming difficult to impossible, especially with increased productivity and administration requirements. CT’s response, 25 years ago, was to create software and metrics to support a leader’s SOUL. Let them show you their results.

More and more mid-level managers are required to manage and handle more, and it’s only getting worse with the current competitive demands.  As the company grows, executives are becoming more and more removed from the implementation workforce.  Without surprise, you can understand why CT views these automated SOUL components as leadership software and metrics.
