Trusted. Respected. Inspiring.
Our standards empower great managers.
Management is a calling, an opportunity to serve and to lead, but you must be ethical, competent, and caring. It’s challenging, but what’s better than helping people achieve great things together?
From coding to construction, standards are essential to consistency and collaboration. We train managers at all levels in the global standards for knowledge, competence, and ethics.
What Standards Are You Managing To Today?
“After a year using The Index and Standards-Based Management to develop our successor-level managers, we’ve decided to roll it out world-wide, including a special track for the global Leadership Team.” – Nicolas Paris, CEO, Gilson, Inc.
“The Index helped me and other family business members have confidence we were covering all the issues and speaking the same language. The Goal Tree tool gave all of us powerful focus quickly.” – Jeff Lerdahl, President
“The Management Self-Audit produced extraordinary results. In one hour, our team spotted gaps and strengths. The Index gave me and the board confidence nothing was overlooked.” – NGO Executive Director
“I’ve used The Center’s Index for years, and it’s not only helped me as head of office, but also improved my understanding of how my CEO clients think and what language they use.” – Tim Stewart, Managing Partner, DeWitt Law Firm
“I learned about The Index and Goal Tree as a director of a hospital. At Culver’s, it’s helping our team get ahead of the issues and make real progress in every discipline.” – Phil Keiser, CEO, Culver’s Franchising.”
Consistency, Collaboration and Communication
What if every manager in your organization used the same terminology and followed the same best practices?
Our standards and tools are free. Our workbook, “Atoms & Orchestras,” shows how to apply them. The best place to start is with the Index of Terms & Practices, the common language of management (see video).
