American Institute
of Management, Inc. is a family
owned and operated firm established in 1989. AIM serves businesses and
individuals by providing direction for planning strategically. As a
national corporation based in Iowa, it serves a broad spectrum of
diverse organizations.
Many people approach the team at
American Institute
of Management, Inc. and ask,
"What is it that you do?" Our response is, "Provide the building blocks
of personal and corporate success." That is a pretty vague statement, so
let us elaborate.
It is the belief of every team member at
American
Institute of Management, Inc.
that all people have talent. In order for a person to be successful,
each must decide their personal definition of success. That definition
of success becomes a personal goal. We, at American Institute of
Management, Inc., assist people in the development of personal success
plans.
Businesses are not made of bricks, mortar
and walls. They are created from the sum intellectual capital of the
people they employ. AIM assists in developing corporate success from the
success plans of each person.
We're different because we help change
behavior.
-
You’re looking
for behavior change. When
utilizing a workshop approach people may get excited and a little
information, but it rarely allows people to retain information that will
create new habits. When you are looking for business coaches, there are
many to choose from. What makes us different is that we help each
person achieve his or her goals through behavior change.
-
American
Institute of Management has a different approach.
The associates at AIM have a variety of
talents and extensive experience. We use approaches that are based upon
applied behavior analysis – getting to the root cause of the problem and
customizing an approach based upon the people and the company to create
the desired outcome.
-
We are Coaches.
Coaches help you discover where you want or need to be then use your
experiences to help you get there. We have many coaches to choose
from.
People should be
treated respectfully – When
working with many different people we may run across differences of
opinion. People are not wrong, but simply out of information. People
would rather discover the right answer than be told that they are wrong.
Work should be
fun and challenging – Sure,
you’re in business to make a profit, however if your employees dread
coming to work everyday because the way the business is managed there
will be serious productivity problems.
Profit is a
result of the Paradigm of Rights ©
– The result of the right people, doing the right things, in the right
way, for the right reasons, at the right time is PROFIT. When any of the
5 Rights are not correctly executed it changes our desired outcome.
