When a workforce is in harmony, great strides can be made with ease. When the opposite situation exists, and people and goals are out of sync, enormous resources are required for a company to produce results, and the risk of failure increases.
Since 1979, HeaneyCougar has worked on the human side of the performance equation, assisting companies in transforming themselves to better meet the needs of customers, suppliers and employees. We have learned that the greatest block to productivity is fear and the defensive behaviors it spawns: fear of failure, fear of looking stupid, fear of not being good enough, fear that someone else will outperform us, fear of loss.
Fearful behavior seldom supports positive outcomes. Productivity and money are lost when people shift their attention from performing their jobs to protecting their positions.
Fear in the workplace is often the result of unrealistic self-expectations and a lack of information necessary to understand a situation. Our management counseling and
training services offer an efficient method to help individuals and companies develop realistic expectations and skills to remain non-defensive.
HeaneyCougar has identified a model for understanding and managing change that is based on the laws of nature. An analogy might be the growth of a seed – an idea – that sprouts, then buds, becomes fruit, and finally folds into compost to fertilize new growth. Similarly, good business ideas become plans that transform into a set of actions, blossom into products and services, then become the foundation for a business's future growth.
The best ideas, like seeds, grow better when planted at the right time and place, in an environment healthy enough to support their growth. Our specialty is identifying those key factors and becoming a catalyst for transformation.
Maintaining harmony is a continuous process that would be easier if the world was not constantly changing. HeaneyCougar understands that the way companies, and the individuals in them, deal with change is often what makes them successful or triggers their decline.
The Chinese symbol for change also means "dangerous opportunity." Companies and employees can chose either to grow through change or default to the path of fear and resentment. HeaneyCougar can assist companies and individuals that have the courage and honest desire to become more effective through promoting harmony and exercising right timing.
The mission of HeaneyCougar is to provide counsel to companies and individuals who want to become more effective through promoting harmony and exercising right timing for business and management decisions.
