WHAT IS A SELF-MANAGER?
These are the people who make a real difference in an organization. Our tools are specifically designed to measure the ability of a person to be a self-manager. Some refer to them as Top Performers or as High Achievers. Regardless of the label, there are nine pricipals that define a self-manager. While these principals are relatively simple, self-managers use these principals to guide their daily actions. Self-managers...
- recognize that they alone are responsible for their performance.
- learn how to create their own expectations for results.
- create internal motivations and self-reinforcement.
- rely on self-motivation to achieve success.
- get good returns on their effort by establishing commitments, setting priorities and managing their energies accordingly.
- integrate their objectives with the effort that will be necessary for success.
- are self-confident.
- commit to change and set a timetable.
- put their energies into doing versus thinking they should do.
