Top Motivational Speaker And Bestselling Author Rocky Romanella On How To Avoid Micromanagement And Getting Bogged Down In Details, Leading To Improved Team Performance

Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

As leaders, we all want to be on top of things and be certain we are doing everything in the most productive, efficient way possible. However, taking this too far, getting bogged down in detail, can create a suffocating environment that stifles creativity, autonomy, and productivity. It can lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout for leaders and their teams. It can create delays, inefficiency, and a backlog of work, all of which can hinder performance. In short, micromanaging and getting bogged down in detail can actually create the opposite of what we hope to achieve. Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella addressed this vitally important issue in a recent newsletter article. In that article he wrote in part:

Whether we care to admit it or not, we all get bogged down in details. Many times, we get ourselves bogged down through our desire or belief that to be successful we must be on top of every detail, especially in our most important responsibilities. We become the victim of "Analysis Paralysis".

We spend our time not as leaders, managers, and coaches, but as a player trying to play every position. We operate at every level of the business, sending a message to our people that we do not believe they can perform their responsibilities.

To understand the depth and breadth of your ability to get bogged down, analyzing a few cultural descriptors may help you understand the way you get things done and how work is performed. It can help you to understand your process, your management rhythm, and how you perceive, think, feel, make decisions, and interact with your people and how you execute your responsibilities.

These descriptors are not absolutes, but a great starting point for your self-reflection:

Cultural Descriptors:

Compliance vs Creativity
Individual contributor vs Teamwork
Technology driven
Performance driven
Continuous improvement
Rapid growth vs Slow Growth
People orientated vs Productivity oriented
Participatory management vs Command & Control
Self-directed work teams vs traditional management
Acceptance and Appreciation for Diversity
Line of sight between job and Company Mission

After careful and honest self-reflection, the next step is to explore the current environment you are in that is affecting how you manage and the degree to which you micromanage, which leads to bogging down in the details.

Some thoughts on the environment:

Is the pressure to perform low, equitable, fair, and reasonable, or unreasonable?
Is out of the box thinking encouraged or discouraged?
Are compliance, ethics, or legal issues ever denigrated or marginalized?
Is bad conduct rewarded or tolerated?
Does short-term thinking dominate?
Are employees proud to be part of the organization?

Finally, it is important to give some concentrated thought to what you consider the most important issues that you will face in the next couple of years and the speed at which change will come. Your speed and the ability to set the pace will be a direct result of your ability to not be bogged down.

Your ability to build world-class teams that you trust, empower, and give the authority that equals their responsibility will free you from the anchor of the bog and allow you and them to grow and flourish. Your team becomes the engine to drive results, your people become the solution not the problem.

Top Motivational Speaker And Bestselling Author Rocky Romanella On How To Become A World-Class Organization

 Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

Today the Internet has made it possible for any organization to extend their reach across the globe. Doing that however is not the same as attaining world-class status. Becoming a world-class organization requires much more, in the form of an unwavering commitment to a set of standards of excellence. Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella, in a recently published newsletter article titled “How Do We Become A World-Class Organization?” presented a sharply detailed guide to understanding and implementing those principles. In that article he said in part:

Through our organizational culture is how we become a world-class organization. It is through disciplined people with disciplined thought creating our world-class organization through disciplined action. Let’s talk about these areas in more detail.

1. Disciplined People

A) Level of Professionalism
We use only acceptable language when we engage with our people, customers, and vendors.
We do not tolerate off-color jokes and inappropriate comments. Disparaging comments have no
place in our organization. We are consummate professionals.

B) We Are a Learning Organization
We are constantly working on our business acumen, people skills, and communication skills. We understand the value of learning in all functional areas of our business. We understand finance as the language of business and use it to effectively monitor and improve business performance. We know how to utilize a Balanced Business Scorecard to augment financial planning. We work to become experts in all aspects of business planning, and we lead our management teams in highly effective planning protocols.

C) Investment in Self-Development
We insist that relevant learning takes place at every level. We have a developmental leadership model defined and successfully implemented, and a developmental strategy and process for everyone. Our leadership team knows how to motivate and inspire high-potential individuals and act as a leadership role model, mentor, and coach.

D) Self-Accountability Owner
Understands and “owns” goals. Plans to achieve measurable results and holds themselves accountable to Business Plan requirements. They demonstrate they know and understand their role in the organization’s success.

2. Disciplined Thought

A) Collaborative Team Building
Establishes a climate where team collaboration and effectiveness flourish. Establishes constructive and solid interpersonal relationships and treats others with courtesy, tact, and respect. Works effectively with others, regardless of organizational level, background, gender, race, or ethnicity, and works to resolve disagreements, attempting to persuade others and reach agreements. Finally, supports group decisions when group decisions are appropriate; leads and facilitates team interaction and maintains focus on group goals.

B) Integrity in All We Do
Does what is right for customers, people, shareholders, and stakeholders; role models consistency between their words and actions; lives their word; establishes open, candid, trusting, respectful relationships at all levels; treats all people inside and outside fairly; makes decisions that are effective rather than politically correct.

C) Forward-Looking
Is a visionary thinker with a vision for the business and business units. Maintains a long-term, big-picture view while dealing effectively with the short-term business challenges. Quickly identifies obstacles and opportunities; stimulates breakthrough ideas from the best talent; fosters innovative solutions, resulting in new effective business strategies.

D) Detailed Succession Planning
Empowers employees by giving them the authority to get things accomplished in the most efficient and timely manner. Provides candid and helpful performance feedback to direct reports on a regular basis, both formally and informally. Ensures that performance feedback is an integral part of every supervisor’s/manager’s daily job responsibility. Insists that leaders accept developing subordinates as a major job requirement and has created a history of developing written succession plans and mobilizing company resources to support the plan.

E) Constructively Dissatisfied
Is open to constructive criticism from a 360-degree perspective: boss, subordinates, and peers. Deals effectively with ambiguity and learns from success and failure.

F) Customer-Based Focus on Developing Solutions
Works effectively with both internal and external customers. Knows how to gather and analyze customer data to discover business opportunities, continuously improve customer value, cement customer retention, and develop competitive advantage. Understands how to utilize customer relationships to identify high-potential business opportunities and create innovative products/services that create first-mover advantage.

3. Disciplined Action

A) Balanced Leadership
Manages from a balanced leadership approach, ensuring that the three key constituents—customers, people, and shareholders—are represented in all decisions.

B) Consistent and Timely Communications Across the Enterprise
Creates and communicates a client-driven vision, corporately aligned and engaging with all employees in pursuit of a common goal. Embraces the mission, values, and company ethics in all we do.

C) Compensation and Benefits
Distributes rewards fairly: ensuring that pay, recognition, and other rewards are distributed in a fair manner, with clear guidelines and enforcement of those guidelines.

D) Promotion from Within
Developing people from inside for potential opportunities is all part of a well-defined succession planning process. It starts with the selection and retention of an excellent workforce within an environment that values diversity and respects individuality. It promotes continuous learning and the development of self and others to achieve maximum potential. Through open and authentic feedback, the promotion-from-within process can flourish.

E) Engineer Solutions to Improve Overall Business
Has developed excellent intuitive problem-solving insight supported by proven problem-solving methodology. Has an impressive, documented history of correctly diagnosing complex business problems and creating solutions that deliver acceptable outcomes. Leads others to adopt highly effective problem-solving processes.

F) Celebrate Success
Creates recognition programs that positively affect the behavior of others and motivate them to achieve personal satisfaction and high performance through a sense of purpose and cooperation

With this understanding of how culture is the foundation of a world-class organization, we will also create organizational agility. We will know, respect, and leverage the company culture and assets. It will allow us to lead integrated change within a business and/or business unit to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

What Was Your Defining Moment Asks Rocky Romanella, Top Motivational Speaker And Author Of The Best Selling Business Book Tighten The Lug Nuts

Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

What is a defining moment? It is a significant experience that shapes or influences the course of a person's life, or perhaps creates a turning point. These moments can be positive or negative, such as the birth of a child or the loss of a spouse. They are nearly always impactful in some way and can completely change one's perspectives, even those held as primary truths or those that are critically important.

What was YOUR defining moment is another question indeed, as each of us would have a different answer, of course. Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella addressed that question in a recent article posted on his site. In that article, he stated in part:

As a child, we went on vacations, but not elaborate vacations. I grew up in New Jersey, so our trips were simple—like going to Hershey, Pennsylvania. You saw the chocolate being made as if the factory was under glass. You saw the workers as they went about their responsibilities with great pride and joy, as if they were the only ones in the factory. What also left an impression on me after all these years was touring the factory and seeing the chocolate being made by hardworking local people from beginning to end.

Years later, my significant event, aha moment, happened when I was managing a facility in Bedford Park, Illinois. As I was touring my own operation, I realized the confidence the Hershey organization must have had in their people as literally thousands of people walked through their factory each day while they made their famous chocolate bars. I stopped and wondered, can a customer walk through my operation unannounced and still be impressed with my organization? I asked myself, “Do I run a Hershey factory? Can my customers walk through my operations anytime, and would they be proud of what they saw?”

From that day forward, I challenged myself and my staff to inspire those in their care to be as confident in their people and operations as Hershey is in theirs. If they could do so, their customers would enjoy the same experience in one of their facilities—confident and excited to see their products are in our hands. As a leader, regardless of your area of responsibility, you have your own “Hershey factory.” You need to make sure your customers are equally proud of what they see in your facilities, people, and solutions. From that significant event forward, I combined that vision and the empowerment of my people, who felt valued in everything they did, to create their Hershey experience.

It’s like the old saying, “You don’t want to walk through the kitchen in a restaurant.” I wanted to start bringing everybody through the kitchen. Every year, I would send my leaders a Hershey bar and my Hershey aha moment story to remind them of this standard.

On a personal note, a defining moment was when I got my job at UPS. I was hired to be a part-timer unloading and loading trailers. My dad, who had come from Italy at fourteen, sat me down. He was a great person, rest his soul, and very straightforward. He said, “Look, two things I want to share with you. I don’t know what this UPS does, but listen, whatever they ask you to do, say yes and thank you. Then learn your job and learn some more because the minute you think you know everything, they’ll pass you right by.”

UPS had a promotion-from-within policy, and every time there was a new opportunity, regardless of where it was, I would think, Am I the right guy for this job? Then I would remember my dad’s words over my shoulder: “Just say yes and thank you,” and I would turn to my wife and say, “Hey, hon, let’s pack the kids up. We’re going.” That mindset was significant and impactful for me growing up.

Later, I realized a significant lesson from this experience. It was clear UPS had more confidence in me than I had in myself. As a leader, I realized you often need to have faith and confidence in your people, and many times it is before they’re ready for it. They may not have the skills, confidence, or expertise at that point, so you believe in them until they’re ready to believe in themselves. You bridge that gap of confidence and knowledge until they reach the point where they can say, “Okay, I’ve got this.” Then, as a leader, you step back and become their cheerleader because they don’t need to be over-managed; they’re ready to run.

3 Tips To Successfully Scale Your Business Internationally - New Forbes Article By Top Motivational Speaker And Bestselling Author Rocky Romanella

Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

Expanding a business internationally offers a major opportunity for growth in today's hyper-connected business environment. We now do business in an international marketplace. This marketplace, while offering substantial opportunity, requires a new way of thinking, organizing and planning. In a recent Forbes article posted on his website, top motivational speaker Rocky Romanella, author of the bestselling business leadership book, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles Of Balanced Leadership', offered some cutting-edge insight into how to navigate this global landscape. In that article, titled '3 Tips To Successfully Scale Your Business Internationally', he wrote in part:

Scaling your business internationally is a valuable opportunity for growth. Because of e-commerce, the web is international, and the world has become smaller for businesses. People rarely expect to visit a website and see a product or service that is only available domestically. Businesses should be able to successfully scale and meet the demands of international customers.

Scaling a business internationally can be a challenge. One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is forgetting to acknowledge they are a guest in another country. Leaders should start preparations months before your international expansion journey. Here are three tips to help:

1. Be clear about how long you're staying.

This is extremely important because governments and entities are trying to gauge your commitment as an organization. Are you just there temporarily because you have a hot new product or business model right now? Are you there because you want to establish operations in this country? It's best to be upfront and clear about how long you plan to stay and what level of commitment your company is looking for.

2. Be prepared to explain who you are and what you do.

You cannot just show up and expect to succeed. Even if you’re a household name in your own country, that doesn’t mean people elsewhere know who you are. And you cannot assume they do. You must explain who you are and what you do to your new customer base. A thorough, articulated strategy describing who you are and what your product does is important to give you credibility. Include an understanding of how this product, business, or solution fits into a long-term strategy. Help people understand their potential roles and the new experiences they can participate in.

3. Understand, accept, and respect their culture.

This can be the biggest obstacle. Your organization may have great processes and procedures in your own country, but these do not always translate into the current rules and regulations of the country in which you are expanding. Labor rules do not always get the due diligence that is necessary for an international expansion. There are work councils in different countries that guide how you exercise your personal time for example. There could be more religious holidays celebrated than you are used to. In many countries, decision-making is more collaborative.

The full text of the article is available at Romanella's website at https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2024/03/29/3-tips-to-successfully-scale-your-business-internationally/?hss_channel=lcp-27064223&sh=7bec7f907b62.

What Exceptional Leadership Looks Like - Top Motivational Speaker Rocky Romanella Discusses Leadership Expectations, Values And Character

Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

We are all leaders in some way. While discussions regarding leadership often revolve around business or politics, it is important to understand that all of us play leadership roles, whether we are a parent, an educator, or are simply acting in a supervisory position of any kind. We therefore have the responsibility to model "What good looks like" Regardless of the role we play, the fundamental concepts remain the same.

Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella addressed this in a recent article posted on his site at https://3SixtyManagementServices.com. In that article he said in part:

Every organization strives to be an Employer of Choice. This starts by setting clear expectations for the leaders in the organization. It is important for all members of the management team to be consistent in the way they hold themselves, their peers, and employees accountable.

To set that leadership standard, you may consider setting Leadership Expectations. These clearly defined expectations, combined with your values and workplace policies, all provide guidelines for you to model what “Exceptional Leadership Looks Like.”

With that in mind, you are the model for "What Good Looks Like". Your actions reflect upon your people, and their actions reflect upon your customers and, more important than anything else, become your reputation. As we know, reputations can be created and destroyed in an instant, by even the simplest of acts.

You can take this a step further by asking each person to reflect on the Leadership Expectations, commit to them, and lead their people every day by adhering to them. Ask them to take inventory of their current style and practices. Are they in sync with your overall Leadership Expectations? These answers will help you and your team understand your leadership style and expectations and your relationships with your people and them with theirs.

No matter what your leadership role is, you have a tremendous impact on your people. It is all about alignment and commitment.

Let us start with Values. They are the foundation from which everything we have to offer as a company is based – our processes, services, daily work actions, and commitment to excellence. Our Values, and our adherence to them, set the direction and establish the necessary culture for our organization to succeed. Let us take a look at how we achieve these goals:

Balanced Leadership supports all we do. Our Values provide clarity about who we are as a company, how we will conduct ourselves, and how we wish to be viewed by others. Again: who we are, what we stand for, what we aspire to be, and what we will never compromise. Here are some ways we do it:

We recognize that our people are our most important asset, and we will be regarded as an Employer of Choice.

We believe integrity and excellence are the core of all we do.

Each of us will conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity.

We will adhere to our policies and guidelines. If there is something we doubt, we will raise that doubt until it is addressed.

We make tough decisions, accept responsibility, and report bad news.

We do not stop at the first right answer. We focus on new ways to create solutions.

We embrace change and thoughtfully use processes, technology, and tools for results.

We have a vision and seek ways to transfer that vision into action.

We are committed to supporting a climate for success for all and providing a safe work environment for employees, customers, and the general public.

We are humble and support each other.

We work together as a team, are flexible, and will adapt to changing conditions.

We will be respected leaders among our peers and within the industry.

We will learn and grow from our challenges, and we will celebrate and recognize our success.

We are a company that lives its values.

These values are crucial and define Who We Are, What We Stand For, and What We Will Not Compromise.

Top Motivational Speaker Rocky Romanella Describes How To Ensure A New Manager Makes A Successful Transition Into Leadership

Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.

When promoting an employee into a management position, what are your responsibilities as the leader to make sure the new manager makes a successful transition into leadership?

The answer to that question would depend greatly on the specifics of a particular situation. However, there are some vitally important guidelines that simply must be followed in EVERY situation if the transition to a leadership position is to be successful.

Rocky Romanella, one of the top motivational speakers in the US and author of a bestselling book on leadership, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts,' recently addressed this topic in a newsletter article titled, 'Put Me In, Coach - Your Support Of A New Promotion.' In that article, he said in part.

As a leader who has made the promotion recommendation, you have two clear responsibilities to the person who has been promoted. The first is to clearly define the expectations you have for them and their role and responsibilities. They are now role models in this new responsibility, and everything they do "speaks". This new reality must be reflected in their attitude, approach, and, most importantly, in their behavior. They can never lose sight that your expectations and theirs must be in sync.

Below are some examples of expectations. Your list will be your list, and your expectations must be clearly communicated and outlined to them by you.

They are brand ambassadors for their personal brand and the organization's brand.

They get their results through others.

They confer with their partners and teammates in other departments such as legal, finance, HR, and those they work with on a regular basis.

They will need to become familiar with company policies, procedures, protocols, and regulations which will protect their people, the company, and their reputation.

You aspire for them to become a learning machine, and they lead by example in their desire to be The Best, The Brightest, Most Informed, and the Best-educated person they can be.

Secondly, as the leader, you will have to believe in them until they have the confidence, knowledge, and success to believe in themselves. You bridge this knowledge and confidence gap through your help, support, and belief in them. Your belief in them, until they are ready to believe in themselves, is often the difference-maker in the success of a new promotion.

Finally, as in all we do as the leader, “we set the tone from the top!” To set that leadership standard, you should consider setting and articulating your Leadership Expectations to the organization. These clearly defined expectations, combined with your values and workplace policies, all provide guidelines for you to model "What Exceptional Leadership Looks Like.”

Now Is The Time To Ask: Should I Stay Or Should I Go In 2024? Says Top Motivational Speaker And Best Selling Author Rocky Romanella

A highly sought keynote speaker, trainer and Forbes Contributor, Romanella is founder and principal of 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. He has over 40 years of leadership at Fortune 100's and most recently served as Chief Executive Officer and Director for UniTek Global Services, after retiring from a 36-year career with UPS.

It is in our nature to think of new beginnings when we approach a new year. Some of us embrace the chance to redefine our journey, seeking not just a fresh start but a dynamic leap forward. We’re stoked and ready to go. Others are not so sure, are satisfied with the status quo perhaps, or see no need to strive for improvement. Bestselling author and top motivational speaker Rocky Romanella believes the question we all must ask is: Should I stay or should I go in 2024. He recently addressed this question in a newsletter article. In that article, he said in part:

This is a question we wrestle with often in both our personal and professional lives. Once we answer that question - do we stay, or do we go? - it will unlock the view of our next steps. I have always been a “We Should Go” person. This sets the wheels in motion and will begin to develop a compelling vision and strategy for the organization and its units going forward. We will need to understand both the short-term and long-term view, and the view of both the organization's strengths, challenges, and opportunities.

The 100-Day Plan is the vehicle to drive your vision and strategy.

In this newsletter, we answer the question, "Do We Stay, or Do We Go?" with the view of "Going!" I would like to talk about the importance of the strategic questions to ask yourself and your team. These will be the foundational pieces, and how you answer these questions will impact your strategy, vision, and approach that will be executed through the 100-Day Plan and beyond.

Here are some examples of the questions you can ask yourself or your team as you begin the implementation process of the 100-Day Plan.

   * Am I, (are we), a business and/or leader who initially went through years of successive growth but have now reached a standstill?

   * Are we in a critical year of our strategic plan?

   * From our experience, do we have the right approach on how to boost growth and “restart our revenue engines”?

Another soul-searching question to ask yourself and your team prior to the implementation of the 100-Day Plan is, "Do We Have Organizational Agility?"

   * We know, respect, and leverage the company culture and assets.

   * We lead integrated change within a business unit to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

   * We utilize teams intentionally and appropriately to focus leaders on building an enterprise that creates profit and generates business with the ultimate objective of delivering an attractive return on shareholder investment.

   * We aim to develop leaders who can "see around corners" to anticipate changes in market conditions and proactively position the company for future competitive advantage.

   * Finally, we must constantly remind leaders that the company expects sound judgment from those in whom it places trust and that this should be demonstrated to all through their actions.

Traditionally, a new year gives us an opportunity for a fresh start, but there are times during the year when we need a jump start. However, like New Year's resolutions, the best-laid business plans can easily be forgotten when we get caught up in the day-to-day activities that require us to put out fires and wrestle with ongoing business challenges. Armed with the answers to these questions and an approach you have vetted with your team, the 100-Day Plan is the vehicle, the blueprint for an implementation process that is both powerful in approach and elegant in its simplicity. It is your answer to the question, "Do we go?"

The 100-Day Plan is based on my concept of Balanced Leadership. The three components in Balanced Leadership are your company’s customers, employees, and stakeholders. All of this is built on a framework that puts less emphasis on "doing things right" and instead focuses on "doing the right thing" for those three groups.

The full text of the piece is available at Romanella’s website at https://3sixtymanagementservices.com.

Rocky offers a number of resources on his website that offer powerful ideas for leaders at any level - business managers, educators or small group leaders:
