Managing to ensure superb performance from all employees is crucial, especially during
times of economic turbulence. Fortunately, this kind of management is more enjoyable
than most tasks and results in increased organizational value.
Coach early and often. Early, to catch potential problems before they happen. Often,
because continuous interest and feedback virtually guarantees better performance.
Coaching provides counsel in real time and identifies clear goals in the context of the
employees job.
Effective managers catch problems early and often so that they can provide continual
feedback and guarantee better performance. They do not rely on yearly reviews to direct
their leadership. Efficient managers provide clear goals in the context of the employees
job.

1. How to Transform Managers into Coaches
The Power of Coaching: Training & Development
| 4
The transformation from manager to coaches takes effort and a few easy steps.
It is important for managers to remember that one size does not fit all. Each employee is
different, and employees work differently. The better the manager understands the employee,
the more effective the coaching and the results will be.
How do you transform managers into coaches? Building and changing the corporate culture
begins with the leaders adoption of a system, definition of the system and modeling of thesystem. Top leaders coach managers to be the kind of leaders the organization wants. Two of the
competencies of a coach include:
An ability to identify people who fit the job
An ability to create strategies for employee development that inspire people
to perform and achieve
These competencies set the foundation for development, but even the most able manager
requires help in these areas. No manager is equipped with essential knowledge about every
employee. Successful coaching requires specialized knowledge about:
Each employees unique characteristics
Each employees attributes in the context of his job and in the context of the
work environment
Each employees fit with his job, manager and teams

Coaching-based performance management is essential for maximum
productivity.
First, acknowledge that good performance rarely happens by accident. Many employers find
it unnecessary to worry about job training or good job fit as long as they find an employee with
a good job history. According to a survey of more than 1,000 people last year, including
managers and leaders, 90 percent believe that leaders have little influence over employee
behavior. This is not surprising, given that many leaders often view performance training asunnecessary.
Profiles has developed a coaching-based performance management methodology that
provides key insights about each employee. This step-by-step approach shows how to
leverage knowledge to improve employee performance. This approach works because leaders
are able to use it continuously and proactively from the beginning of each employees career.
This process is incomplete unless each of the following factors are in place:
Understanding employee fit and compatibility in current job
Understanding motivation and stress and conflict behaviors
Optimizing working relationship with direct supervisor
Optimizing relationships with their work teams
Optimizing their leadership skills

Motivational coaching enables successful employee development.
Coaches play an important role in helping employees successfully maneuver company
difficulties such as turnover, budget reductions and cost reductions. Coaches need to
understand how each employee will react to the constant ups and downs of the specific work
environment. A Profiles assessment will take the guesswork out of determining how each
individual might react in a specific situation.
Profiles assessments measure:
Need for control
Social influence
Patience and collaborative preferences
Focus on precision and quality
Motivational intensity and focus on change

Developing employees generates leadership.
The final step in coaching-based performance management determines leadership capabilities.
Specific leadership competencies and skills are examined in order to identify leadership
potential.
The assessments will calculate personal development, communication, leadership ability,
adaptability, relationship building, task management, production, and the development ofothers.
Motivating employees to perform to their maximum potential is the responsibility of the
leaders of the organization. Once a manager discovers the value of coaching early and often, as
opposed to conducting annual reviews, he will be able to increase efficiency and productivity in
his employees.
The most effective approach requires:
Coaching tailored to the individual with a goal of increasing productivity
Coaching based on insight about the employees competencies within the
context of his job, as well as his ability to work with his team and manager

Another key to driving performance is having a consistent company message. CSP Customer
Service Profile measures key characteristics of exceptional customer service. How much easier is it
to drive performance when the people engaging the customer on a daily basis are all on the same
page? The CSP looks at what our current and future employees believe is a high level of customer
service, while at the same time showing us where they align (or not) with our companys perspective.
The use of superior talent management practices can easily identify a potential need for additional
people, or for better use of existing resources. With efficient selection and on-boarding practices,
both new people and incumbents become more productive in a short amount of time. SOSII Step
One Survey II can help give new employees the head start they need from day one. By making sure
prospective applicants are a fit for our corporate culture before joining the team, we can know in
advance how they can assimilate into a work environment in the optimum amount of time. Insight
into an applicants work ethic, honesty, integrity, propensity for substance abuse, and attitudes on
theft (including property, data, and the most expensive commoditytime), can give a much-needed
preview into how well this person will mesh with a companys current culture and climate.
Profiles WorkForce Compatibility is a powerful tool that measures critical workplace compatibility
information between a manager (executive, director, supervisor, team leader) and his employees.
PWC is used to increase productivity, identify and close compatibility gaps between manager and
employee, improve communications between manager and employee, raise the level of
engagement, and reduce employee turnover.

Americas Most Productive Companies
In economics, productivity is a measure of output per unit of input. For purposes of this study, we defined
labor productivity in terms of revenue produced per full-time employee. Calculating this required us to
analyze financial data from over 1,600 publicly traded companies that we then organized into over 175 sub-
industry groups.
We then identified the companies that ranked highest in each category and took a closer look at the
practices that enable them to out-produce their peers. By understanding these practices, we hope to
educate ourselves and our clients about the practices that can help them run more efficiently and become
more competitive in the marketplace.
5 Critical Management Derailers: Symptoms and Remedies
Why do front-line managers fail and what can be done to avoid failure? We polled our experts to identify
our top five most common management derailers. They are:
1. Poor interpersonal and communication skills
2. Inadequate leadership skills
3. Resistance to change
4. Inability to deliver expected results
5. Inability to see beyond their functional silo
This report elaborates on these five issues and offers some common sense advice for helping your managers
avoid them.

Selection Strategies for Reorganization, Redeployment and Recovery:
Comprehensive Report of Findings
Profiles International researchers conducted a comprehensive review of organizational design and talent
management practices to identify over 50 best practices in the context of organizational restructuring. We
then asked several experts to rank order their top 20 best practices from this list. From this, we determined
our Top 10 best practices list.
Selection Strategies for Reorganization, Redeployment and Recovery:
C-level vs. Non-C-level Comparison Report
Profiles International researchers conducted a comprehensive review of organizational design and talent
management practices to identify over 50 best practices in the context of organizational restructuring. We
then asked several experts to rank order their top 20 best practices from this list. From this, we determined
our Top 10 best practices list. From these Top 10 best practices we designed a brief 10-question surveyto poll our clients on how well they believed their organizations followed these practices and how well they
would be prepared for a major reorganization and redeployment event. Nearly 800 people (over 30% in
companies with over 500 employees ; 50% of participants had Director-level roles or higher) participated in
the study.
Our findings highlight some considerable differences between the perspective of C-suite and non-C-suite
participants on nearly every dimension we measured. This heightens concerns that the C-suite may be out
of touch with what is actually happening on the front lines as it relates to reorganizing and redeploying
talent in the midst of change.
