  • Overview

    The aim

    To ensure managers inform and involve their teams in order to improve motivation and productivity.


    About the programme

    Research shows that the two most common complaints in organisations worldwide are 'nobody ever tells us' and 'nobody ever asks us'. The best of motives consists of two programmes which tackle each of these issues.

    In No one ever asks us a project is close to failing because a manager tries to take on too much responsibility. He learns that it is important to let the team help decide on the best course of action for the project to ultimately succeed. The key lessons demonstrated for managers include: welcoming suggestions; requesting help; and using the individual skills of the team. The final lesson is that people need results to achieve, not tasks to perform if they are to be productive, successful and willing to contribute to the business.

    Targeted at individuals with responsibilities for a team, this engaging drama uses realistic workplace scenarios that anyone can relate to.


    The key outcomes

    -Empower your staff by increasing levels of communication and sharing more information
    -Improve the motivation and productivity of those working for you
