Invigorating Marginal Employees
Copyright 2004

In the "marginal employees" group there are two sub-groups - those who can be resuscitated and those who cannot. The Profiles Performance IndicatorTM is an ideal management tool to assess these employees and discover those whose potential for effective productivity is the greatest. The information provided by the Profiles Performance IndicatorTM is used by managers to communicate with and motivate more effectively the people under their supervision. It suggests areas in which individuals can use their strengths and positively affect areas in need of improvement. There is even a Motivational Energy measurement that helps the job matching process.

Some managers may find themselves in the group of marginal employees. Profiles has help for them, too. The CheckPoint Management & Development SystemTM provides managers with detailed 360° job performance feedback reports. A follow-up program, SkillBuilderTM, offers a series of ideas for improved performance and action steps for increasing managerial skills and effectiveness. When used in concert with an overall management development program, the CheckPointTM also yields an Organizational Management AnalysisTM report to increase a company's focus on the activities and projects most important to future growth, productivity, and profitability.

Leaders who recognize the status quo as a threat to their organizations are using Profiles' assessments to decrease turnover and increase their productivity by reducing the number of employees who are marginally productive. The results speak for themselves where it counts most, on the bottom line.

Distribution companies, by their nature, should be sales-oriented companies. But, most distributors don't do sales very well. That's the premise behind this new book.

The book, written for sales managers and executives in the distribution industry, provides a blue print for executives to transform their sales forces into highly directable, effective, focused performers.

The book begins with an analysis of current conditions that pressure the distributor to revise the way he/she thinks about his sales force. Kahle then paints a picture of the distributor sales force of the future. The sales force will be:
  1. more specialized
  2. more directable
  3. more flexible
  4. more professional
  5. more productive.
His advice begins with "See it as a system," a concept that is based on one of the key principles for the book, "When you change the structure, you change the behavior of the people who work within that structure."
