Follow Me: How to Grow Yourself and Your People
Fewer than half of today's employees believe that their company deserves their loyalty. Unfortunately, leaders too often confuse profits with purpose and disregard the principles that drive people. This session will share the process for developing exceptional leaders and retaining great employees. No matter where you are on the leadership ladder, this session will show that great cultures are intentional and that they are cultivated by people who are engaging and transparent, and who maintain a style of communication that is frequent, authentic and deep. This session will provide a fresh vision of the leader you can be, and identify the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to grow yourself and your people. This session will show you how to:
· Establish tangible, easily defined and easily monitored strategies to improve performance.
· Gain consensus and motivate people to work together efficiently and effectively as a team.
· Produce a great workplace through the development of great leaders.
