Who specifically, is this online system for?

CEOs, Division VPs, Unit Managers, Sales VP’s and Sales Managers, Software Developers, Consultants, Coaches, and any business leader who absolutely has to get their impossible goals or complicated projects, or product development accomplished this year – no matter what.

Accountability Scorecard™ works effectively at all levels of an organization from the top team, to divisional teams, to administration-level staff.


Wherever you use Accountability Scorecard™, it doesn't change your strategy -- rather, the people participating automatically adapt the entire system to their team, culture, initiatives and challenges.
 

My name is Dan Prosser. I'm the founder and CEO of ‘the BEST Places To Work’. For over 30 years I've been a CEO and entrepreneur in staffing, technology management, enterprise software development, marketing, and management consulting. I've worked with business leaders like you to help them develop great people and great ideas to make their organizations function better and prosper. My purpose, you could say, is to improve the workplace – to create cultures where people love what they do and have what they want.

 

In the process of building my own businesses and helping others create breakthroughs in their own companies I have listened as CEOs have told me about myriad issues they are facing. Some of them may be familiar to YOU:
  • CEOs who feel it's a struggle to get people to do even the things they said they would – and complete on time - when they said they would.
  • When they do get people to do those things – they feel as though they end up being a ‘totalitarian despot’ in the process.
     
  • Overall they report, it doesn’t feel like a good time for anyone when they as CEO have to come up with most of the ideas to implement and then have to work to get people to execute the strategy. Then everyone says the boss is a hard-guy and difficult to deal with. No one wins – because there is little ownership of the plan. 
  • CEOs who feel as though they aren’t always getting a reasonable return on their investment in people. Salaries are very high for what’s actually being accomplished.
     
  • They often wonder, “What do these people do all day?” “It seems like it takes forever to get anything done around here. When customers complain to me and I'm looking for someone at 5:00 PM to answer a question – they’ve already left the building”.
Now, if any of the above fits you, stay with me here and read on. If not, then what I'm about to talk about with you to is probably not for you.
 
 
Notwithstanding that the role of a manager is to “manage”, most managers resent it when they feel placed in a position of having to be the bad guy when it comes to “bossing” or getting people to do the work that must be done. Autocratic or patriarchal management styles may have worked in the past and for some it’s still the only approach they know. It’s usually their default management behavior and it doesn’t work very well.

When you resort to authoritarian approaches to management it’s usually because you are trying to keep something bad from happening (like not meeting deadlines or unhappy customers calling you or not meeting budget). It's not unusual to observe managers who are managing people with rules and procedures - instead of establishing values and standards  - all in an effort to avoid the experience of something “we know darn well will happen if people don’t get busy” – but that's not really managing people. Trying to manage the circumstances surrounding business to reduce stress ends up creating just more of the same; same results and same circumstances. It's not possible to manage circumstances – you can only change your relationship to those circumstances.
 
So, in spite of the fact that businesses have to be managed, what is it that you need to do that will make the greatest difference to your bottom line?
What most CEOs and managers want is a hassle-free, easier, more effective way to move the company forward to achieve its goals. They want…
  • A management approach to business that challenges people and leaves them turned on and lit-up by the experience. Not unhappy and looking outside the company for something better.
     
  • Management practices that actually make sense - new practices that employee’s AND managers will happily embrace and use.
     
  • Management technology that creates a new positive culture of performance where employees generate a sense of urgency on their own. No forcing anyone to do anything.
     
  • A management system where employee’s take the lead. Where every team member is aligned, in communication, and being accountable for results – no matter what.
     
  • What most CEOs really want is employees who are self starters, understand the mission-critical activities of the business, and will take action, even bold action when it’s called for. 

  • CEOs and business owners want and need employees to be committed - not just show up on time to qualify for a paycheck, but committed to the vision of the company and understanding what part they play in the overall strategy to help bring that vision into reality – as a team member who plays full out.

A little-known management principle

 

Since 1995 when I began my business of developing enterprise resource planning systems, I've applied what I call a relatively unknown yet powerful management model called ‘Promise-Based Management’. I've successfully taught it to many others since then. It’s not a new concept per se (you can Google it and see), but the way I've applied it makes managing employees much more effective and empowered - turned on and satisfied with their workplace experience.

I’ve taken Promise-Based Management to a new level by launching the
Accountability Scorecard™ online software system. The Scorecard creates a new structure for accountability which in most companies is either totally unstructured, or as in most cases, totally absent entirely. When you use Promise-Based Management with Accountability Scorecard...
 

Accountability for promised results soars…

 

For the first time, employees really get their impact on the company and act accordingly...

 

Employees feel they have a voice in setting the direction of the organization and someone is listening to them and allowing them to contribute...

 

There’s a boost in the quality & magnitude of clear communication...

 

Employees buy into new initiatives with little or no resistance…

 

Here are a few of the effects of Promise-Based Management and the Accountability Scorecard™ System… 

    • The entire process of implementing the Promise-Based System transforms the way YOU lead people and people want to be led… and it changes the way all the other leaders in your company manage others performance. Peopel become responsible for causing results.
    • Employee’s trust level becomes a non-issue. People begin to communicate.
    • Employee's start doing what they said they would do - every time. On time.
    • Employee's who were dissatisfied and looking for other jobs now can't imagine a better place to work and reject job offers out-of-hand. Turnover plummets 
    • Customers begin to notice the difference in your employee's and tell you how much your company means to the success of their company.
    • You become the leader in your industry - your industry begins looking to you for guidance and leadership.   
    • You have more free time to improve your company's offerings because you now spend less time trying to get people to do what they should be doing.
    • You spend more time on the things that really matter to you because your team is acting responsibly to execute your strategy without you having to ride herd on them.

With Promise-Based Management and Accountability Scorecard all of this is not only possible – we guarantee it.

 

Finally, your membership in the 87% of companies that miss goals and don’t achieve their annual plans – is cancelled – by you. You will achieve consistent results when you use the Promise-Based system the way it was designed.

 

Instead of all the manipulation and games played in most workplaces you’ll start BEING the values and attributes you ascribe to and begin having the right conversations in your business for achieving even the most impossible results.

 

Everyone will know what to do…

 

Everyone will know how to do it…

 

Everyone will know why it works for them and embrace it…

 

And more importantly you will become the CEO you have been wishing your employees recognized as one of the best they’ve ever worked for. Because now you are.
