This is London Undergrounds latest initiative for it's managers. The theory behind it is to increase the efficiency with which Managers operate bearing in mind that there will be lots of changes in the coming years and people will have to move with the times.
I personally think it is a great idea.
The first part of it is for each manager to complete what is known as a 360 degrees review on themselves to identify their percieved weaknesses so that they can address them. The way this works is that you get managers, Peers, direct reports and subordinates to complete a questionaire each about you and then the results are compiled and analysed and you find out how you appear as a manager to everyone.
The art of it's success is to do the same again in a years time and see if you have managed to improve your weak areas!
The message from the senior managers is that they really have not got the time to mess around with people who don't have the drive to improve things in the coming years. Simply put FIFO (Fit in or Fuck Off)!!!!!!
The initiative starts with Centurion managers and will then be done with Duty Managers.
