People as a Resource

Do you believe your people ...

Are your most productive resource?
Contribute the most to your business?
Bring economic value to your business?
Are the key to your success?
Are your most expensive resource?
Are unpredictable in their accomplishments? Behavior? Attitude? 
Require more of your time than other resources? 

Your people's knowledge, resourcefulness, and creativity translate directly into earnings - if they're being utilized.  Yet people are probably an organization's most underdeveloped resource.  As a whole, we spend less time, less money developing and maintaining our people than we do our other resources.   

TROPOS Success Systems wholeheartedly agrees that people are key.  That's why we focus on people

"You can take my factories, burn my buildings, but give me my people and I will build the business right back again." Henry Ford

How We Help

We don't train people in new skills - we use a unique inside-out development approach to help people make greater use of the skills they already have. We help them balance their lives so they become more productive employees and lead a more prosperous life - a win-win result for you and your people.  They learn how to lead themselves so they can lead others, maximizing their value to your organization.   We help them turn their potential into performance!  We help them succeed

People do not rise to their level of incompetence; most people have a great deal of potential they're just not using.  

Our Approach

A  (S + K) + Goals = PBC _ IROP  

Improved Results (IR)
for the Organization and the Person (IROP) are a result of Positive Behavior Changes (PBC).  

Positive Behavior Changes
occur when individuals 
know what to do (
Goals), 
know when and where to perform (Knowledge (K)), 
know how to perform (
Skills (S)), 
and have the desire to perform (
Attitude (A)).

All our Personal Development processes are leadership-based and focus on three principal areas:

Goal setting and achieving – learn to set and achieve goals and build confidence doing so

Attitude development – develop the can-do attitude that makes a business successful

Interpersonal skills improvement – create an environment conducive for working together 

Our Offerings

TROPOS Success Systems provides personal development processes for the various levels of the organization.  All include goal setting, attitudes, and interpersonal skills, but each is flavored for the specific organizational level.

Moving Everyone in a Positive Direction

Goals

We said we'll get your organization moving in the same, positive direction.  How do we do that???

No matter the size of your organization, our process ensures that your business goals are cascaded through the organization, so everyone knows their role and can effectively contribute to the organization's achievements.  

That is, your business goals are translated into personal goals for the executives.  Then the executives goals are translated into goals for their managers.  This continues at each level of the organization with increasing specificity until the goals are driven down to the individual contributors.  

It's then you have your entire organization working 
in the same, positive direction!


Attitudes

Attitudes have a major influence on the goals people set and their ability to achieve them.  Attitudes will directly determine in many cases whether people ...

Turn a problem into an opportunity, or succumb to it

Behave in ways that benefit the entire organization, or maintain fiefdoms

Expand the customer base and services provided, or allow atrophy to set in

Diligently look for continuous improvement, or remain satisfied with the status quo

If you think attitude isn't important or you scoff at it as just some "touchy feely" thing, read what  David H. Maister, a well-respected business author, has to say in his book, Practice What You Preach: What Managers Must Do to Create a High-Achievement Culture

“..a simple question: are employee attitudes correlated with financial success?

The answer, as this book will show, is an unequivocal "yes!" The most financially successful businesses do better than the rest on virtually every aspect of employee attitudes, and those that do best on employee attitudes are measurably more profitable. What is even more powerful, as the book shows, it is attitudes that drive financial results, and not (predominantly) the other way around. “


Interpersonal Skills 

Finally, no one in an organization works eight hours per day locked in a broom closet by himself.  We all interact with other people, some more so than others.   How we approach these interactions determines whether or not we'll be effective.  Everyone develops effective communication skills in our processes.  Then, depending on the process, participants develop these kinds of skills - motivation, performance appraisal, team building, discipline, leadership, developing peak performers, etc. 

We help you improve your organization one person at a time!
