Ep. 17: Compensation – The ONLY Way to World-Class (3 of 4)

In this 3rd installment of this Compensation series, Andrew shows how a well-designed COMPENSATION SYSTEM creates CONFIDENCE, CUSTOMER DELIGHT, and a HEALTHY CULTURE that Self-Regulates with little need for supervision. Pay becomes a powerful Teacher: A System Solution, where the “System” selects for owners (not renters), “smokes out” unconfident people, removes 4 negative tasks from frontline Leaders (documentation/productivity/reviews/firing), flattens bureaucracy, and hard-wires World-Class Standards (e.g., Perfect Client Interactions, Perfect Visits and Perfect Documentation). Andrew covers 4 core elements in a well-designed Compensation System as well as an overview of the process of implementing a system, including Setting Standards, Branding of the Compensation System (SuperPay), winning over key influencers, piloting with a winner, training with System7, and use Accountability Contracts. At the core of a comp system is laser beam FOCUS on really operationalizing and strengthening Accountability.
