Liftoff Guides

             

"This is the ONLY resource available on the market today with all the pieces to maximize the initial employment period."  - John Brantley, President, JTB Communications, Inc.

Developing your greatest asset – your people – begins with the hiring process.  Once you have them in your organization do you have a plan to maximize the first 90 days?  For someone to be a high performing self-starter you must have an intentional strategy to get them immersed in your culture and fully engaged for success in their NEW role. 

Leaders want self-starters and motivated employees that can guide their own performance and hold themselves accountable for their actions.  The Liftoff Guides provide a template for the new employee to drive the Progress Discussions.  This forces the new employee to evaluate themselves and their performance, holds them accountable, and begins to instill the self-starter characteristics leaders want. 

Instantly Usable...

The Liftoff Guide is a very practical and instantly usable resource to help new employees be very successful and to create more self-starters in your organization.  Here is what is great about the guides.  A leader can literally pick up the guide and follow it to build high performers.  There is no need for a long training class on how to use it.  Just follow the steps and it works itself.

NO Need for Long Training Classes!

The Liftoff Guides remove the guesswork from the initial employment period. To get the maximum benefit from the Liftoff Guide follow the strategy recommended for discussing the progress of the new employee.  If you are willing to invest this time in your new staff, you will be rewarded with high performance, lower turnover, and a more energized and focused team.

"JTB Communications always has the best interest of the company in mind and always keeps us focused on the right things." 

-Lupe Alvarez, Factory Manager Yorkville, Wrigley Co.

Create Consistency

Both you and the new employee will have a Liftoff Guide.  The Progress Discussion templates are almost identical in both of these (These are the templates that you and the new employee will use to discuss progress at key intervals.). 

 

"JTB Communications printed materials are concise and to the point."

 - Chris Maddox, President, The People's Bank

Progress Discussion Driven By the New Employee

Most leaders today are wearing multiple hats and do not have time to add and plan for more meetings.  The Liftoff Guide Progress Discussions (shown below) are designed to be driven by the New Employee.  The New Employee will have to come prepared to talk about their performance.  All the Leader will have to do is be prepared to listen and ask questions to ensure they are developing the proper skills, techniques, and beliefs needed to be successful in their new role.

Properly Document Performance

In addition to providing a template to discuss and track performance, the Liftoff Guides provide an excellent way to properly document performance during the initial employment period.  Included with each Friday Progress Discussion is a place for both the leader and the new employee to sign off on performance. 

By putting the accountability for discussing performance on the new employee, you will also be helping the new employee develop the mindset and beliefs needed to be a high performer.  Using the Liftoff Guide you can be confident that you have done everything within your control to help the person be successful.
