It Start’s with You. Leading a People-First, High-Performance Organization
Despite economic uncertainty, the war for talent appears to be here to stay. Multi-generational labor shortages not only hinder our growth plans, they represent an existential threat for organizations building anything less than a world-class people-centric culture. Such cultures require leaders capable of navigating the ever-present tension between prioritizing people and performance. In this talk, we’ll help leaders leverage simple yet profound insights to buck the pervasive burnout trends plaguing the modern workplace. We’ll also help them identify actionable strategies for building an environment that attracts and retains top talent and equip them to experience more of their own best work and best life.
