(3) Warren Field Regarding Suggested Consideration When

Warren Field, 1147 60th Street, appeared before the City Council to discuss the above-
mentioned topic.
Mr. Field requested the Mayor include the following statement in the official minutes:
Suggested Considerations When Planning for and Managing
"Twenty/Twenty Employees"
Good Evening Council and staff, as a Community advocate I am here to
address three items: 1) Explain how this presentation came about; 2)
Identify those individuals in the work-place that are regarded as
"Twenty/Twenty Employees"; and 3) To suggest some ideas and
considerations to Employers in planning for and managing
"Twenty/Twenty Employees".
To begin, I decided to speak on this topic only after watching the superior
leadership abilities and monitoring the professional composure of Mr.
Harvey Robison since the first day he became the Interim City Manager.
What greatly impressed me was his ability to quickly identify, and resolve
some of the major problems that have hampered the City's forward
movement. As you know, the adjustments that followed resulted in
Assistant Managers, Directors, and a Department Chief leaving the city.
Their exit provided opportunities for those individuals who had prepared
themselves to "Move-up" and even for others to "Stand-in" as acting
leaders". Moreover, it is also assuring to know that we have an Interim
City Manager, who makes unexpected visits with employees at their
worksites, to assist with problem solving, despite his busy schedule.
Thanks Mr. City Manager for all that you do?
Now let me address the salient question, "Who are those "twenty/Twenty
Employees" that I spoke about? I will answer that question with this
explanation: 20% of employees who are employed at a company or
anywhere, do whatever it takes to fulfill their scheduled work
requirements (In the City's situation, they make "City Service" happen). A
description of their character traits reveals that they are usually growth
oriented; look forward to being promoted, follow directives well, have a
stellar performance record, and aspire to become all they can be in the
work-place. Many of them usually finance their own education and
training and attend school while simultaneously work their eight hour a
day jobs. Now, 60% of the employees at a company are just happy to be
working. They are not willing to do any more than what is required of
them during their work day. Their primary concern and focus is on gong
home. These individuals are often satisfied with getting their routine pay
increases, job growth may, or may not be a priority. In addition, they
usually follow directives, and seldom require disciplinary action. Lastly, the
remaining 20% of employees at a company don't give a dam one-way or
the-other. Excellence in job performance, timely caring-out directives, and
good work attendance are not their priorities. These individuals are
usually involved in trying to get out-of-doing work. Now with that
distinction, let it be known that "Twenty/Twenty Employees," consist of
those "Exceptional Employees" that don't give a dam. It is noteworthy to
mention that the "Twenty-Per-Centers" require much more attention than
the "60-Per-Centers"; as such, here are some ideas that may assist
"Employers" in planning for, and managing their "Twenty-Per-Centers".
• In the Mission Statements: Employers should outline what they
want to do presently, regarding rendering excellence in service
(whether that be product service or city service), and then most
importantly, get their employees to understand, and buy-into the
company's mission.
• A 4-Step Progressive Disciplinary Action (Program), to deal with
employee misconduct, especially that 20% that don't give a dam.
Those steps are 1) verbal counseling, 2) written warnings, 3)
suspension and 4) termination.
• A Scheduled Evaluation/Counseling Process (Program): To provide
all employees feed-back, relative to their performance, etc.
• Institute A Grow Your Own Future Leaders Program: Consisting of;
o An Active Succession Planning Program: Designed for
current department leaders to train the exceptional 20%
Employees to replace them upon their exit.
o Establishing a Departmental Educational and Training
Fund: Budgeted to assist the Exceptional 20% Employees
pursue college degrees or special training.
o An Annual Recognition Program: Designed to recognize the
"Twenty Per Cent Employees" who make city service
happen. These employees would be ready for promotional
opportunities and stand in as acting leaders when needed.
Lastly I suggest,
• Employers should emphasize listening to those reliable employees
who are closest to the work, or service product in-order to become
a better company.
In closing Council, those were just a few ideas that may be of some help
to leaders, while pursuing the vision held for their companies and cities.
