While the conventional approach to solve this managerial issue is to provide more training and development to managers, the PCO Group has a more efficient approach to bring individuals, managers, and teams to their full potential.

Let’s compare stoplights and roundabouts. The roundabout outperforms a stoplight intersection - they are safer, reduce delays, and are less costly to install and maintain. Roundabouts are less complex, allow drivers to make their own decisions based on a few simple and easily understood rules, and trust one another to make good judgements.

Controlling people directly, like cars at a stoplight, does not promote engagement. Co-creating an environment where everyone flows with the system, like a roundabout, nourishes a new relationship between the roles of employee and manager and results in engagement across teams.
