SEVEN HABITS OF A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

I. Rationale

Total quality products, total quality customer service, self-managing teams, personal and interpersonal leadership… these are just some of the many qualities that management would like to have in their organization. These are all necessary qualities of an organization in order for it to be cost effective, gain its desired business objectives and to last in the industry among other important aspects for the company to grow.

Despite the many worthwhile actions instituted in systems and processes done by management in the organization, there seem to be something lacking in the puzzle. Even the basic requirement of punctuality or reporting time, submission of reports, coming on time for meetings, responding to customer queries and complaints, needs a lot of improvement. These areas may not be much of a concern to some organizations but there will always be an area in the organization that when addressed, productivity will eventually improve and can be maintained in the long run. In cases wherein changes have to be made, short or long-term, systemic or structural, people have difficulty adopting to change. People resist change.

It is in view of the foregoing, it is highly recommended that management consider a program that will encompass all levels of the organization. From personal to professional, from individual to organizational, from within the organization to all its stakeholders, in and out of the company. If we want to have a quality organization, we must first and foremost, have quality individuals that despite their diversity, can work effectively as an individual or as a team. This seminar is anchored on time-tested principles that are very much applicable at the personal and organization level.
