Coming here soon – the Personal User Guide.
They may have arrived in your company already.
If not, and you’re wondering what they are,
They explain to colleagues how you like to work and how you’d like them to interact with you.
To quote from an explainer I saw online;
“Imagine if, before meeting someone for an important meeting, a blind date or another social event, you could quickly peruse their personal user manual.
This brief manual would include instructions, warnings, and tips for your interaction with this person.”
Warnings???
Perhaps you’re not a “meetings” person until after 11 am (or maybe never).
Or, you’re big on team playing and love post-work drinks and get-togethers (that’s more like it).
Those facts and many others can be in your User Guide.
Your business may come up with a format for staff to follow.
Alternatively, you might create your own.
Some of the self-created I’ve seen are, well, interesting.
Connected to this subject is how to help those team members who report to you become more self-sufficient.
If you want them to take up less of your time with questions about assignments you’ve given, training for specific tasks will speed up their self-management skills.
For example, we offer two in-depth courses if you’ve delegated trade show and event responsibilities.
The first is for beginners – colleagues who know little (or nothing) about organising a trade show stand.
The second is for people who have organised a few times but want to develop their skills, particularly in the sales and marketing aspects of exhibiting.
And this is worth noting, too.
If any questions arise during the training, your colleague comes to us for answers, not you.
It’s highly time and cost-effective for your business.
For full details of what each course covers, visit this page on our website.
Very best,
