Top Performers are Self Managers

Self managing employees are more organised, more productive, more satisfied, more personally fulfilled and produce better results with less hands on management required.

These are the findings from Self Management Group; an innovative group, which has over 25 years international experience in assisting organisations with the selection and recruitment of Top Performers and has recently entered the United Kingdom market as Self Management Europe.

The research has found that Self-Managing people consciously apply a process such as the following to everything they undertake:

Determine own goals, objectives and expectations
Figure out what they need to do regarding the behaviour or activity, the strategy or game plan
Make a commitment to that behaviour or activity
Keep the commitment
Give themselves credit for keeping the commitment
Evaluate their performance of the activity
Evaluate the results
Seek resources for self-improvement and development
Evaluate the overall process over a period of time to decide whether to continue, adjust or discontinue it.

It is important to identify whether candidates for a role, have not only the appropriate blend of experience and credentials, but also the appropriate blend of self management potential, motivation and independence to ensure they have the potential to consistently perform at a high level.

SMG has a proven system, which integrates its own validated psychometric tools with an interview process and other sources of information. The result is not only a better recruiting decision, but also valuable coaching and development feedback for the candidate and their manager.

Organisations which use SMG selection systems for management and employees, develop a database that enables them to review individual performance against the information gathered in the recruiting process, to continually refine their recruiting, development and career management approaches and dramatically increase results and retention...

By doing so, managers are able to minimise the risks of taking on a new recruit thus reducing the potential cost of mis-recruiting.

According to Mark Leonard of Self Management Europe:

ìWe are excited about entering the UK market and believe Self Management revolutionalises the whole concept of recruitment. Recruitment is a continuous and expensive part of any successful company ñ At Self Management we can show you how to make the difference. Saving both time and money.

Having the Right Person, at the Right Time, Doing the Right Thing ñ Let us show you howì.

The Self Management Groupís products and services assist HR Managers with the recruiting, screening, selection, development and retention of Top Performers and the program is widely used in sales, senior management, and high stress positions across a wide spectrum of industries.
