Gordy Rush and Maurice Velasquez of Guaranty Media and Team Real World talk the Alignment model, a system which helps businesses keep their employees engaged and working efficiently. They overview the five different factors which are necessary to achieve true alignment and dive into the details of the first important element: the four phases of any team’s progress. The number one mistake managers make? Not having clearly defined metrics for their staff to live up to.

In a moving interview, Maurice and Janet Simmons, the president of HOPE Ministries of Baton Rouge, discuss their model that works. The work they are doing is incredible - providing a pantry to address immediate needs and provide professional and financial skills training to help individuals become self-dependent. It is in the spirit of everything we are about, where everyone is "winning in the workplace".

Managers are successful when they can help their employees perform well and perform well consistently. However, when managers are not able to help their employees perform well, everything begins to break down. To avoid this, managers and supervisors must have the correct tools, processes and training to effectively help their employees perform well consistently. In this series, we will cover these one step at a time and dissect them as we make progress.

Everyone wants to have good conversations at work. However, when we do not have good meetings, problems go unresolved, ideas are not considered and progress is slowed down. Maurice and his team break down the 9 steps to turn your meetings from frustrating to productive.
