Essential to the success of every laboratory—including yours—is a management culture of performance, effectiveness, teamwork, and a “can-do” attitude. Yet too few laboratories enjoy above-average performance from every manager on the team.

This problem is simple to resolve when you understand the steps needed to transform your management culture. We’ll show you how to create a culture where motivated, enthusiastic line and middle lab managers achieve remarkable goals.

A weak management team is often the difference between a lab’s sustained success and a reputation of frequently missed targets. To ensure your lab’s continued success, learn now from THE DARK REPORT audio conference recording. You’ll learn how to accurately assess the strengths and weaknesses of your existing management structure. And get simple solutions to help refocus your management talent into an energetic, effective resource.

“Improving Lab Management Productivity: How To Evaluate Your Team And Stimulate Increased Performance And Profitability” will provide techniques to help you assess your existing line-up of managers.  Learn how to accurately identify your next superstar achievers. Master the secrets of coming to terms with deficient, weak, and underperforming managers—even if you’ve worked alongside them for years. That could mean easing out non-performers and those managers with poor attitudes who often drag down other staffers and decrease performance.

You’ll get an easy, step-by-step plan that helps you fix the flaws in your lab’s management culture—thereby unlocking the enthusiasm to achieve in both your managers and staff! Understand how poor lines of authority, undertrained line and middle managers, and a defective organizational culture can come together to create an environment of underperformance and frustration. And finally, you’ll learn the techniques to fix these problems.
