The term “redpoint” comes from the sport of rock climbing. It refers to a technique in which an individual sets out to climb a route and must learn the subtle nuances, tools, and maneuvers required to successfully complete the route. As part of this process, the climber struggles, falls, and in turn, learns from the experience. At some point, though, the climber has learned sufficiently and has enough motivation to climb the route cleanly with no falls.
At RedPoint Management we see this scenario as a management metaphor. In order to effectively manage another person in a working environment, leaders must understand the interests, motivations and most productive work behaviors of their employees. They also need skills and resources to fall back on when things are not working as planned. Managing people is a learning experience and each and every manager is different. With the proper tools every manager can become a highly successful leader.
