A fun Manager Tool - People Management Coaching Cards
Dear All,
I've been talking about this "manager tool" off the forums with some of you already, since I was a bit shy of publicly promoting my company's own product on a social forum :) but after some encouragement from David to put a sample card up for discussion, here it is.
The cards are a tool to keep being aware of your own performance as a manager and to constantly ask yourself how you could improve your own skills and your employees happiness at work --> and resulting from that the level of employee engagement.
They are a proper Poker game, too :) They have originally been designed for young junior managers who have just been promoted (therefore the "fun" format of poker cards) but I've noticed that companies (here in the Netherlands and in Germany) have given them to their senior staff as well. Either just as a motivating gift, or they use them as a cost effective way to continue education at the moment, when many training budgets are cut (i.e. use them as prompts for coaching groups of managers or individuals, or to add one card/one question to the agenda of management meetings, to share knowledge and experiences).
The website www.selfcoachingcards.eu is currently under construction, but on my profile page you can see a few more cards and of course I can give you more info on them if you're interested.
Best regards
Anja

As a consultant, I often have the privilege of acting as my client’s right hand or lending a listening ear for what’s going on in their business. I am not a certified coach, but years of being a performance improvement specialist has taught me much…
Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.
