QR : How do you suggest management goes
about recognizing great performance?
DAVE: Motivational leaders recognize out-
standing performance by communicating
QR : What does a manager do to stay
engaged with his people?
DAVE: Ask questions of your people to un-
derstand their goals and ambition, plus their
understanding of your plan. Talk with them
about what they need to do to achieve their
goals. The advice given should always bene-
ft both the employee and the company. And
growth and proft. Actions like working at
shows and events with the marketing team,
riding with sales people and going to job sites
with installers. Set goals for the upcoming
week, month, quarter and year and implement
action plans to achieve these goals.
QR : What about the theory of creating
upbeat and motivational environments?
DAVE: Build trust and rapport with your
people and within your company by relent-
lessly pursuing two objectives: The success
of the company, and the success of your peo-
ple. One is never done at the expense of the
other. When both the company a manager
works for and the people a manager leads
consistently understand that the manager
is relentlessly pursuing their success, the
team is upbeat and motived to succeed for
themselves, their leader and each other.
Motivational leaders recognize
outstanding performance by
communicating with their employee
exactly what was done well, and how
it beneftted the company.
