How To Create and Complete Successful Action Plans Course

How to Achieve Goals With Disciplined Planning and Follow-Through 

One thing that separates most unknowing managers is that they tend to get things done in a "seat of the pants" manner. In contrast, Results Driven Managers have the habit of creating and managing Action Plans with disciplined follow-through and timely adjustments that bring about excellent results.

Do any of these ring true?

• Poor execution
• Constantly revisiting decisions.
• Missing accountability.
• Continuously adding tasks and inconsistent completing of old ones.
• Having to add resources to get projects complete
• Frequent and long meetings that seem not to get anything done and are a waste of time
• Missing due dates
• General Confusion as to who is doing what and by when?

Why did our timeline slip? Shouldn’t someone have warned us about X? Who is responsible for Y? Didn’t we already agree on Z? We are how much over budget?!?

If you ask a manager or executive about a failed initiative, they will often say that it was planned well, but it fell short of expectations because of… well, you know… circumstances. While you can’t plan for every possible circumstance, more often than not, the plan just wasn’t adequate. Perhaps the roles were not well defined, the activities poorly specified, or the options insufficiently evaluated. Perhaps all three.

Successful Action Plans need to be developed and managed by managers at all levels of an organization, whether they impact the entire organization or just a part.  In most cases, however, you will be involved in all the steps required to make Action Plans succeed.

Each Action Plan will have tactics that collectively need to bring about the Action Plan's success. Managers must learn the best practices of carrying out the tactics and managing them through to successful completion. On time and budget.

 So What Moves a Team To Success?

In this course, I will share the principles and techniques that Results Driven Managers use to create and manage their Action Plans. Let's now look at the following steps that bring about high-impact results:

• Step One: Creating Action Plans
• Step Two: Action Plan Tactics
• Step Three: Managing Action Plans to Success

Who Is This Course For?

Our programs are designed for managers regardless of seniority, industry, or location and give them the skills they need to succeed in the modern workplace.

The two things that usually earn a promotion to management have nothing to do with great management ability: tenure and mastery of a previous, non-managerial role. Managers account for the majority of variance in almost all performance-related outcomes. Yet companies will spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year on everything but training their managers.

This course was created by our Results Driven Team of former executives. We share the methods we know work effectively because we have used them ourselves. No theory: we share the exact methods we’ve used scaling highly successful teams for decades.

Anyone can benefit from Results Driven Management Training, no matter their experience level. Here's how taking a leadership course can arm your managers with the expertise needed to drive peak results.
