Participants will walk out of this session with a framework for reviewing expectations with every team member, resulting in increased employee engagement and improved operational performance.

All four legs need to be present, or you will start to bleed talent.  You will walk out of this session with a list of specific actions to reduce unwanted attrition.

I find many leadership principles to be timeless, and “Valuing Diversity as a Competitive Advantage” is one of them.  As I wrote in Why Diversity Matters Beyond the Important Moral High Ground | LinkedIn (2016): 1) You need to celebrate diversity to have a functioning meritocracy; 2) Diverse teams outperform less diverse teams; and 3) Promoting diversity is the only way to win the war for talent. Although the principles are timeless, the strategy and execution must be contemporary and tailored to the current cultural context.  In this seminar, Jack jumps into how to execute a diversity strategy that delivers results and brings everyone along for the ride.
