Course: Team and Motivation
A course on recruitment, role profiles, interviewing, onboarding, management-team effectiveness, KPIs, and the employee incentive system.
Participants build an implementation-ready management solution for their own company
Each topic follows the same cycle: assessment, concise lessons, a case study, a template, an assignment, review, and an implementation action.
Common problems in “Team and Motivation”
The course is suitable when the relevant management constraint has been identified and the company needs to build a specific management capability.
Hiring is based on impressions
There is no role profile or candidate evaluation criteria.
New hires take too long to become productive
There is no onboarding plan, mentor or checkpoints.
Employees do not understand the expected outcome
The role is described by activities rather than by a defined deliverable.
Employees cannot directly influence their KPIs
Employees have too little influence over the metrics used to evaluate them.
The incentive system rewards the wrong behavior
The bonus formula is not aligned with business economics and strategic priorities.
There is no management team
Executives optimize for their own functions rather than shared company outcomes.

Each topic includes a current-state assessment, the underlying methodology, a practical template, and an assignment using the participant’s company as the case.
