NOW Available FREE on PTManager Blog - Workbook: Improving Productivity WITHOUT Sacrificing Quality

[Guest guest]

In 1995, I published a " cute " little workbook called * " Imroving Productivity

WITHOUT Sacrificing Quality " *as part of my consulting business.

It was a very simple format and design-wise quite unattractive. 150ish

pages of forms and self assessments to help PTManagers work through some of

the tough parts of monitoring and managing productivity with their staff.

Since all PTs were programmed to hate any mention of the word productivity

and all were convinced that any attempt to improved productivity would

automatically destroy all issues of quality, it sold like hotcakes.

And I spent the next decade working with PT practice owners and department

directors helping them address the critical issue of productivity with their

staff.

About a month ago, we released to the public domain [under a Creative

Commons license] a rough video of The Productive Therapist presentation. I

am still working to clean that video up for re-release [hopefully sometime

this Spring] but now I am releasing a very minor revision of the workbook -

Improving Productivity WITHOUT Sacrificing Quality - as a PDF. Free for you

to use. Just don't sell it to others and be sure to credit/reference it

appropriately.

The Workbook is at

PTManagerBlog<http://ptmanager.posterous.com/improving-productivity-without-sacr\

ificing-qu>as

a PDF - all 150 ugly pages of it. I purposely did not clean it up

alot

or make it look more modern as that has always been part of its " charm " .

Please feel free to use it in your practice.

I hope you enjoy it.

Please feel free to critique, comment, criticize and suggest improvements.

But remember, only the author (me) can call it ugly.

Enjoy

*BTW, be patient if it takes a little while to download*

*It is 150 pages and I'm told that ugly documents are slower on the

internet.*

back then and did a workshop for me! Still " cute " after all these years.
