Trusted. Respected. Inspiring.
Our standards let you be a better leader.
Management is a calling, an opportunity to lead and to serve, but you must be caring, smart, fair, and decisive. You must be able to communicate and collaborate with every department. It’s challenging, but what’s better than helping people achieve great things together?
Standards for Quality and Consistency
“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.”
A Culture of Collaboration
What if every manager in your organization shared the same standards and spoke the same language?
Our standards and tools are free. Our workbook, “Atoms & Orchestras,” shows how to apply them to your issues. The best place to start is with the Index of Terms & Practices, the common language of management (see video).
