New Perspective on Manager Role Critical to Business Success

Dallas, TX (June 12, 2007) – Re-examining the role of managers is a competitive advantage according to Batrus Hollweg International, a consulting firm specializing in Talent Gauging and High Definition Selection Science. To help do this, a new checklist, The Manager Link to Business Performance, is now available at http://www.batrushollweg.com/InsightsAndResearch/InsightArticles/ManagerLink.pdf

"Much too frequently there’s a great chasm separating visionary business strategies and the reality of organizational results. This gap can be closed with strong managers who focus on managing performance," said Linda Pharr, COO and President of Batrus Hollweg International. "Managers are critical because they link day-to-day activities of team members to a company’s business goals. They provide context, focus priorities, ensure quality, encourage accountability and inspire results. Looking at the role of managers through this lens can provide a competitive edge."

Batrus Hollweg tapped its three decades of expertise and extensive data base of manager assessments to develop the checklist of manager link critical drivers. The checklist identifies the most important characteristics of managers proficient in the art of managing performance. Companies can use the checklist as a guide to explore the strength of their managers and reinforce their ability to deliver on business strategies.
