The Check-In Method™ of Management

 
The Check-In Method™ is a management approach that empowers leaders to build strong, caring relationships with their people to improve performance and retention.


At the heart of the methodology is having the conversations that matter most with each person. Through these interactions, leaders can stay on top of what’s really happening with their people to provide the support and encouragement they need to succeed.

How does The Check-In Method™ work?


The methodology requires managers to learn and master the mindsets and skills of the 7C’s.

 

Commitment

A great manager is vital to employee performance and well-being. And being a great manager doesn’t happen by accident, it takes focused effort. This requires you to be both explicit and transparent in your commitments and intentions as a manager.

Cultivation

 

Cultivation is a mindset shift from traditional production-based management to a more human-centered approach. The cultivation mindset liberates managers to believe in the innate potential and motivation of their people.

Clarity

Clarity is the rocket fuel of performance. Managers who have the skills to reduce uncertainty and create clarity about the “what and how” of work build loyal, high-performing teams. Clarity is also the foundation of healthy, accountable relationships.

Care

 

Great managers care about each person as an individual. They are invested in their success both at work and beyond. Caring includes demonstrating compassion, showing appreciation, and creating shared accountability.

Coaching

 

Consistent performance requires guidance and encouragement. Great managers understand that their role is to help employees develop to be better equipped and motivated to achieve their goals.

Connection

When employees trust and feel connected with their manager and peers, they are more productive and engaged. Learning how to lead teams where each person feels included and connected is vital to unlocking performance.

Conversation

 

At the heart of being a great manager is the ability to have the most important conversations with your people. Asking the right questions and listening skillfully is the key to meeting employee needs and enabling their success.
