Five Steps to Professional Management for Pro-Life Organizations
Solutions to Your Management Problems,
by Jack Yoest
The Pro-Life leadership has compassion, commitment and content.
Activists are honing skills on communication and substance on the truth of the Pro-Life debate.
But is this passion and persuasion properly focused? Is the movement managed?
We know the arguments. The sound bites. The counseling. The writing and graphics. The education and lobbying.
But are we learning leadership? Someone—the manager—has to get the trains to run on time.
We’ve designed a class for executive directors and managers with staff to learn what management is...and what it is not.
For the Movement to succeed, We must have Management.
Managers work to control events, instead of events controlling them.
They anticipate the future . . . adapt to the present. . . and learn from the past.
* * * The Managing Management Time™ class trains managers
how to apply this philosophy to their own leadership challenges * * *

Since 1960, over one million people have been trained in our practice of management. The MMT class teaches you, the manager, to leverage your management time, and the time of your team, to get more done.
Harvard Business Review published Management Time: Who’s Got the Monkey? in 1974, by Bill Oncken, Jr.. The article, an edited excerpt of the MMT seminar, has gone on to become one of the two most requested reprints in the history of the Review. The training summarized in the article is sometimes called the “Monkey Management” seminar.
