Your company has managers.
Are they Kevins?
Or, are they managers that coach?
One of your fellow managers is a Kevin.
Now his name may be different.
But you know him when you see him. Or, her, right?
It’s all about him.
Every. Single. Day.
Kevin only cares about what his team can do to further his career. To make him look good to his boss . . . who happens to be your boss, too, right?
He doesn’t give a hoot about his team—how engaged they are at work, their career paths, if they need a mental health day.
The only thing that matters to Kevin is Kevin.
Since Kevin is your fellow manager, you’re guilty by association.
That’s right, when others think of you, they think of Kevin.
They assume since you and Kevin are both managers, you’re like Kevin.
Command-and-control.
Top down.
Competitive.
What’s that?
That’s not fair. You’re nothing like Kevin.
Really?
What about when Kevin sucks up to your boss, bragging about what his team did under his expert leadership?
You don’t get a little jealous of Kevin?
You don’t step up and say something like, “Well Boss, let me tell what MY team did!”?
Or, in your next team meeting, do you hear yourself say:
“You will meet this goal and I don’t care if you have to work all weekend!”
“Whose bright idea was it to try that strategy?”
“What do you mean you don’t know? It’s your job to know!”
The struggle is real.
Kevin Culture is contagious
How do you become the UnKevin Manager?
You see, Kevin and his devotees belong to that species of managers known as suckus negativeus, more commonly referred to as Eeyore Vampires.
Kevin and his tribe are Eeyores because they know better than everyone else.
Your idea will never work. It’s stupid. Because it’s not his idea.
Kevin and his tribe are Vampires because they suck your lifeblood—time with family and friends. Kevin and his clan drain your heart and stomp around in your head when you’re not working.
The truth is Kevin sucks as a manager.
Kevin Culture sucks every team’s productivity and the company’s profits down.
What are you supposed to do about Kevin Culture?
How are you supposed to separate yourself from Kevin’s tribe so you’re no longer a manager who’s guilty of negativity by association?
What CAN you do to become The UnKevin Manager?
You can fight.
But is there ever enough holy water or garlic to eradicate Kevin Culture and his Eeyore Vampire managers?
You can resign. Join the ranks of The Great Resignation.
A lot of good that’ll do.
The Great Resignation led to The Great Regret.
Kevin Culture and his Eeyore Vampire managers already infiltrated the next company.
So what CAN you do?
You deserve better than managing in Kevin Culture.
You deserve to manage in a culture that counts:
- people because every person matters.
- productivity because performance matters.
- profits because money matters.
You deserve a positive work culture that:
- attracts top talent
- reduces team turnover, and;
- increases productivity and profitability.
You deserve to become The UnKevin Manager.
And you CAN!
But how?
And what is an UnKevin manager anyway?
We’ll talk about how in a minute.
Let’s talk about what an UnKevin Manager is right now.
First, The UnKevin Manager collaborates instead of commands.
She sees her team as highly skilled, gifted and motivated persons who want to work from their strengths and passions connected to the company mission.
He is secure enough in who he is to ask his team, “What do you think?” and “What can we do?”
Second, The UnKevin Manager coaches instead of competes.
He views his team as “the experts” in their chosen specialties. His role is to ask powerful questions that create their new awareness about work projects. Then he helps them align actions and build in accountability so they succeed.
She actively listens to and maintains a coaching presence with her team regardless of how much stress Kevin Culture puts on her. She focuses on the positive outcomes they all want and filters out the competitive culture Kevin fosters.
Third, The UnKevin Manager constantly develops new skills instead of consistently repeating past mistakes.
She knows leaders are readers. She prompts her team to recommend new books. She shares what she’s reading and her take-aways and insights.
He creates a forgiveness culture in which everyone makes new mistakes faster on the path to more innovation and greater creativity. New skill development is encouraged daily. Try something new. Learn from it. Move forward.
Now you know what The UnKevin Manager does.
You are The UnKevin Manager at your core, right?
But how?
How do you create a culture that counts:
- people because every person matters.
- productivity because performance matters.
- profits because money matters.
How do you:
- attract top talent
- reduce team turnover, and;
- create a positive work culture that increases productivity and profitability
How do you become The UnKevin Manager?
I wish I had known how earlier in my career.
I wish I had a blueprint years ago.
But there wasn’t one.
Until now.
I’m Dr. Joey Faucette…
…culture architect and coach, best-selling author, and creator of The Work Positive Manager Coach Training Program.
Along with my co-creator, Jane Creswell who founded the IBM Coaches Network…
…we know Kevin personally. A lot of them.
In fact, for a time, we were Kevins.
It’s not something we’re proud of. And frankly, today we have a hard time imagining we were ever like Kevin. But we were.
That’s right, we were bitten by Kevin Culture and his Eeyore Vampire managers. We competed for resources with other managers. We drove our teams to inefficiencies. We pushed ourselves and others to unproductivity. We lost money for the company.
And we did it all for two reasons:
- it was easier to go along to get along, and;
- we didn’t know a better way.
Sound familiar?
Of course they do.
We all seek acceptance.
We all just do what we know to do.
Jane and I transformed with some help from our friends in the coaching community. People who invested in us, who helped us grow and add skills to our strengths.
Gifted mentors who saw within us everything we needed to become UnKevin Managers.
Our transformation poured the foundation of The Work Positive Manager Coach Training Program.
You now have what we didn’t.
The blueprint to become The UnKevin Manager.
We built this foundation over the many decades we’ve coached managers just like you to transform their culture. We learned from them, too. So much so that today we’re regarded as positive work culture architects.
So what if I told you there’s a growing tribe of UnKevin Managers who will accept you unconditionally?
And invest in you so you grow and add skills to your strengths?
That there are gifted mentors to help you become The UnKevin Manager you’re destined to be?
The Work Positive Manager Coach Training Program helps you lead better than Kevin ever can.
You can coach and manage for a positive work culture that increases productivity and company profits.
