EP:013 | LEADERSHIP | Same 'ol Situation

In this Podcast, Tim Autrey takes on a perennial workplace challenge- conflicting policies, procedures, and instructions, which put workers in an almost impossible situation.  He uses a recent PPI Culture Profile, as well as a personal experience at the Toronto Airport to make his point. He then offers simple solutions to this dilemma- two of which can be implemented immediately (and at essentially no cost).  He also provides a solution to the much bigger underlying issue.

EP:012 | PERSPECTIVE | Miracle on Okuma Beach

Accidents occur in an instant. In this episode of REPSradio.com, Tim Autrey tells a personal story of the near-drowning of his granddaughter, Adrianna.  He then relates good fortune to luck, to miracles, and how performance improvement professionals share a common bond- a focus on human performance to improve safety, save lives, and prevent catastrophe.

EP:011 | LEADERSHIP | My Favorite 'F Word'

Tim Autrey draws a parallel between Leadership and Performance Improvement, and the work done by Albert Einstein and Max Planck.  He identifies the ‘general laws’ that apply to the “big things”, such as organizational structures, processes, procedures, databases, and even observed behaviors.  He then brings light to the fact that the “small things”, such as the “WHYs” underlying human choices and actions, follow a completely different set of rules.  Finally, he details the concept of Vital Behaviors, identifying a handful (set of 12) for use in the practical application of observation and positive influence.   

EP:010 | PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT | Behaviors

In this episode of REPSradio.com, Tim Autrey dives into the third and final element of the next-generation formula for human performance- behaviors.  When things go awry, most tend to focus upon actions taken.  Using a story from his childhood, Tim reveals a powerful alternative.  He demonstrates how focus upon the WAY something is done, combined with the underlying attitude or mindset with which it is done, provides a leveraged opportunity to help forge new connections.  New connections lead to new choices, and ultimately, to new sustainable behaviors.

EP:009 | PERFORMACE IMPROVEMENT | How to Prevent Analoculitis and Rear View Mirror Syndrome(RVMS)

Waste and inefficiency are prevalent when Performance Improvement efforts are primarily based upon past results (RVMS).  Additionally, overwhelm and lack of forward momentum is caused by over-analysis, or what Tim Autrey refers to as Analoculitis.  Using the current state of medical error in the US as an example, Tim lays bare the fallacies of this approach. He then offers a simple, synergistic, and sustainable CURE.
