Overview

In today's dynamic and competitive corporate landscape, achieving high levels of employee engagement has become critical to organizational success. Amidst the pursuit to improve engagement at OC Tanner through coaching over the last 25 years, the company has learned that Leader Standard Work is key in helping leaders carve out the time they need to coach their employees during one-on-ones.

While you may think you don't have time to coach your people, Gary Peterson will tell you that you don't have time to not coach your people. In this presentation, Peterson will show you the power of one-on-ones and walk you through the exercise he used to create his Leader Standard Work. Not only did it give Peterson the time needed to engage in meaningful conversations with team members, but it also helped him focus his efforts. When coaching becomes an intrinsic part of a leader's daily routine, it emphasizes the organization's commitment to supporting its employees' professional growth. It empowers leaders to act as mentors and role models, inspiring their teams to reach new heights of success.
