Supervisor/Manager - 7Es for Employee Excellence

I recently received an Email form a reader asking me questions about one of my earlier posts and measuring employees' work.  I wanted to share...

I created this model over 30 years ago (With updates) as a guide for anyone that supervises or manages employees. It is a very common-sense approach to any new supervisor or manager that wishes to create a cohesive working team.

Envision + Enlightenment + Enablement + Execution (added in 2006) + Empowerment + Evaluate + Encouragement = Employee Excellence. I call it the 7es.

Along with the 7Es you need measures of what your employees actually do during a work week.

The following example are goals and objectives that could come from a Department Head to his/her boss.

I developed some of the examples from some of my own (names/info changed) goals and objectives from the past.

The important things to remember are to include realistic means of measure that will allow you to meet corporate goals and objectives that should have been developed first before you and your team create your own (seldom done & people wonder why they never get done or accomplished). All goals and objectives must be aligned from the top to the bottom and then communicated and EXPLAINED throughout the company (Regardless of the number of employees).

Please note that the example below is high level and need to be in much more detail in the form of strategy and responsibilities.

I hope this provides a model that can be used for you and your employees.
