Standards
Improve Consistency & Quality
Standards promote consistency and quality, and management standards are no different. Our standards are applied through the 1-page tools in The Toolkit for meeting management, planning, process improvement, and project oversight. Using standards reduces miscommunication, and you and your team will be respected for consistently producing high-quality work.
Lead with Integrity & Ability
Standard of Ethics
The 1-page Pledge helps managers use their authority to lead their team in a positive and compassionate way. Its four questions will make you confidence you’re always doing the right thing.
Standard Terminology
The Index is the standard language of management; it breaks down barriers among departments. Its single-screen framework of definitions and best practice lets everyone communicate clearly and collaborate creatively.
Standard of Competence
The Milwaukee Model is a shared—and high—standard of performance. It puts on one page what a manager needs to know and do. Its self-assessment shows you exactly how to advance your career.
Simple Steps to Standardization
What if every manager in your organization shared the same standards? Our standards and tools are free. You might ask your team for their reaction to them.
Our workbook, “Atoms & Orchestras,” explains how to apply the standards. You could also start with the confidential self-assessment in the Milwaukee Model. It’s up to you whether to share your results. Contact us if you’d like help.
