The TMI: About The Book

An Employee Engagement Initiative

The TMI is a simple concept with powerful impact. This is the author’s third book, and it focuses on providing a concrete solution to one of the biggest issues in today’s workplace — employee engagement.

Are you fed up hearing the same motherhood and apple-pie statements at training workshops? It’s time to get down to the heart of the matter, and the heart of every organization is its people – its most valuable asset. And your most valuable commodity of course is your time.

Does your organization have a healthy heart? How can you tell? How do you check the pulse of your organization?

One of the biggest challenges every manager faces is the transition from being a technical advisor or top producer to becoming a manager. This requires the capacity to understand and apply the principle of working ‘on’ the business instead of ‘in’ the business. The TMI is a structured process that keeps you in touch with your core asset – your people. This is not electronic communication where you can hide behind your emails - this is face-to-face prime time communication. If feedback truly is the breakfast of champions, the TMI creates that essential avenue of communication necessary to build a channel for constructive feedback. It’s not rocket science, it’s simply getting back to basics and maintaining consistent, regular and effective communication with your people. This initiative is a simple concept that is powerfully effective, easy to implement and maintain, and will reap enormous rewards. Employees in today’s workforce have a voice, and they want it to be heard. But they want a structured process through which they can express that voice – the TMI delivers that structured process, which instantly diffuses rumor and speculation, raises morale, improves communication and performance, increases productivity, and builds a synergistic workforce and high trust culture.

This is the first in a series of practical hands on management techniques that will transform your business into a high performance organization.
