The Path of Better Shortcuts of Masters and Champions

Since you've made it to management, you're urged to defy the Peter Principle which claims that people rise to their highest level of incompetence. One new idea every three hours for a week. The results will astonish & delight you personally... and professionally.

Along with the intensely productive technique of catching people red-handed in the act of doing something right, and publicly making 'a big deal' out of it, this PowerGem of "idea generation" has demonstrated itself to be the single most compelling reason for MisterShortcut being credited with instigating the breaking and/or shattering of more than one hundred and seventy production and sales records at five major NY companies

By the time you've written, close-your-mouthwritten, fifty ideas, fifty reasons for your people to get excited about breaking records, you'll have many useless ideas, a few good ideas, and one or two that are world-class. Unconditionally guaranteed to every human who has made it to The lowest rung of management. That one idea will charm 80% of your employees (See Pareto Principle), and your productivity starts moving towards that magic top ten percent. It works every time.

This one method is used 365 days per year by many hundreds of thousands of self-made millionaires. Do you really believe you know better than the horse's mouth? Are you one of the 5,950.000 Americans currently earning $80,000 per month or more? Any day that you're not getting excited and using your pencil, you can be sure that a too-generous portion of your resources are being too-lightly tapped. You do NOT need more to get more; you simply need to use more of what you already now have at your disposal!!!

We'd prefer you to be smart enough to save your money and implement these simple powers on your own. There are other ways you already know about which will increase your business. If your boss came to you today and said, 'Boost productivity by 20% in sixty days or you're gone,' we somehow believe you will do so as long as your position is of sufficient importance to you. You would have a reason to get excited, and, like smiles and yawns, both ends of the motivation scale are contagious.

When was the last time you caught an employee, red-handed, in the act of doing something right? Far more than any other bellwether, this is your tool for assaying precisely how much people WANT to produce for you, and for mutual benefit:   how appreciated they are.   
 
No one says you have to go overboard in kissing an employee's feet. What you ARE being reminded of is the mathematically precise formula that comprises Newton's Third Law of Physics ('Every action in this universe produces an equal and opposite reaction.')

We urge you, with the utmost vigor of discourse,to pull out your pen and paper and begin that list, with no less than one new idea every three hours.
 
As well, it is no less vital that you either begin, or measurably expand, your own personal and professional ability to catch people in the act of doing something right. Sumner Redstone, a man involved in vital, bilion-dollar decisions into his seventh and eighth decades of life, was known to remind people that 'luck' is merely an acronym for Laboring Under Correct Knowledge.
 
Most of us understand that an excited employee is a more productive employee. Few of us act upon all that we know. How about you?
