These methodologies will be shown through case studies and discussions on how to synchronize and integrate people improvement programs into and in direct support of every business initiative.

Overview

An overwhelming amount of organizational effort is spent measuring, managing, and controlling the business process often described in cost, schedule, quality, safety. Yet, the true leading indicator of future business performance is engaged teams who understand the rules of the game and have organizational structures focused on those leaders who are the heartbeat of the business—first line leaders.  Recognized as a driver of productivity, competitive advantage, customer loyalty, and shareholder return, employee engagement and developing high performance teams are no longer a plus, it is a requirement to compete in today’s economy. This team performance Improvement workshop will focus on an organizational theory overview, and a proven methodology to create high performance teams. One of the key cost drivers is talent retention which is becoming more and more critical characteristic of a high performance team is how the organization recruits, hires, on boards and retains talent to meet the customer demands in the reality of today’s labor markets which is a center piece of the workshop. 

The greatest form of respect we can give our PEOPLE is a Leader who…

1.  Wants to lead
2.  Demands to be held accountable
3.  Is engaged
4.  Knows what right looks like
5.  Has a leader who will help them become a high performing leader
6.  Plays to win everyday

This workshop will walk attendees through how any sized organization may identify, train, and develop leaders who are making the biggest development decision of their professional lives to move from being an individual contributor to a leader.
