Business failures are management failures

All business failures are management failures. Don’t believe me? Think about it this way;

All poor results can be traced to poor motivation, poor training, poor tools/equipment and/or poor planning.

The manager’s job is to motivate, train, equip and plan. Whose fault is poor employee performance (employee motivation, training, equipment and planning)?

I repeat: “All failures are management failures.”

Are you a good manager? Answer these questions then you decide:

1. What have you done to make your employees passionate about their work?
(Motivate)

2. What new skills have you helped your employees learn?
(Train)

3. What have you done to get your workers the best tools and most efficient equipment?
(Equip)

4. What planning have you done to make the work go faster or with fewer problems?
(Plan)
