Leader and Organization Improvement

It takes more than vision to achieve goals. It also takes shared commitment, effective teamwork, and unified effort.  Maine Pointe’s Leader and Organizational Improvement program knocks down institutional barriers to achieve all three. We teach people how to work together, better, and smarter.

Immediate Benefits

  • Agreement on organizational goals
  • Clear accountabilities
  • Faster realization of goals
  • Sustainable results
  • Improved employee retention and job satisfaction
  • Enhanced creativity and support for innovation
  • Improved cross-departmental communication

Questions to Ask

  • Do people know what leaders expect of them?
  • Does every employee understand how his or her job contributes to the company’s goals?
  • Do people know their own “high payoff” activities?
  • Do communications clearly express what needs to be done, why tasks are needed, how to complete a task and deadlines?
  • Does the leadership team set the right example?
  • Do leaders communicate clearly, make timely decisions and enforce outcomes?

What We Do

Maine Pointe’s Leader and Organizational Improvement Program uses assessments, alignment exercises, training, application, evaluation and follow-up to identify problem areas and drive improvements. The program:

  • Assesses the management climate and addresses leader skill gaps
  • Identifies and fixes communication problems
  • Ensures that values, vision, mission, goals and expected actions are understood by all employees
  • Creates a culture of ownership and accountability
  • Aligns distinct groups around common goals, values and behaviors

The Leadership and Organizational Improvement process is effective because everyone is involved, engaged and committed. Conducting this process in tandem with specific improvements – whether in production, procurement or logistics – drives immediate impact and reinforces skills for future use.
