A
Leadership Tip That Everybody Can Use: Don’t Manage People;
Manage Their Promises
TAMPA, FL — Virtually every manager has grappled with the
time-consuming, frustrating challenges that arise when team
members don’t follow through on commitments. The
enlightening message in author Eric Papp’s new book, Manage
Promises Not People, might hold the answer.
“Micromanagement is what happens when you manage the person
instead of their promises,” Papp said. “When we honor our
promises and ensure others do the same, we make things
happen and feel more in control and confident.”
One of North America's top management trainers, Papp has
worked directly with thousands of managers and delivered
over 350 professional training programs to corporate and
private clients. His mission is to help leaders uncover
effective skills that can lead to more productive,
harmonious and successful outcomes.
In Manage Promises Not People, Papp reminds readers of the
importance of accountability, integrity and honoring one’s
word through stories, examples and exercises that can help
anyone become a more effective leader.
Chapters explore:
• The disappointing trend of diminishing promises;
• Creating a culture of ownership;
• Honoring your word (and the impact of not doing so);
• Staying committed while overcoming perfectionism;
• Repairing broken promises; and
• Coaching others to honor their word.
Scott Woitas, Senior Manager at Donaldson Company, Inc.,
said the book “is a must-read for anyone. As a whole, we
have lost the fact that ‘our word is our bond,’ and it
reflects on our integrity, both in our professional and
personal lives. Manage Promises Not People will get you back
on track to be the person everyone knows they can rely on
because you say what you're going to do, and you do what you
said you were going to do.”
