There are many forces which determine staff performance. These Performance Shaping Factors are forces in the work place and forces within the minds of your staff which determine how each individual will perceive, think and act. They are similar to how the hardware, electrical supply, temperature and vibrations can shape the performance of your computers. By using the Designed Change Process you can measure and manage them, calculate the cost to you, and use them to stop this cause of nonproductive behavior. In fact, you can use Performance Shaping Factors to CAUSE productive and accurate work.
Notice or imagine the effects of a supervisor or manager who hovers over a programmer who is working on a long and complex process. Contrast this with how that person would work productively and accurately if he were in a productive and creative mindset and left alone but supported. Complex units and individuals doing complex tasks can be managed effectively by managing the Performance Shaping Factors. Learn how by learning the Designed Change Process. It is low cost, high value, effective and efficient to SHAPE THE FACTORS THAT SHAPE PERFORMANCE.
Performance Shaping Factors can be identified, tamed and made to work for you. When you learn to manage the Performance Shaping Factors, rather than trying to manage each individual, these forces automatically cause productive and accurate work among your staff. Consider the efficiency. Dealing with ("managing") each individual can often piss them off, or divert them from excellence. It's a little like shipping ten thousand dolls, each in its own individual parcel. It's a waste of resources. You put them all in a container and ship the container. Do the same with your organization. Use the Designed Change Process to learn to manage the team.
