Feedback that Builds Great Workplaces and Sparks Continuous Improvement

Our organizations face challenging times. The employment market is evolving, and we must figure out how to attract and retain great people in our local markets. Economic uncertainty and other disruptions create new problems that have to be solved – not just in the boardroom, but on the front line, too. And all the while you’re trying to engage your team in operational excellence, which involves a ton of change.

One way to tackle all these challenges at once is to combine continuous improvement with respect for people.

Roughly 82% of U.S. employees say “I’m not recognized enough for my contribution.” When we adjust our leadership behaviors so that people do feel recognized, two things happen:  (1) Your team members feel valued and brag to everyone about how great a place it is to work; and (2) You spark more of the improvement-based behaviors you’re looking for.

In this interactive, workshop-style keynote, you will:

• Learn the steps of the DECIDE framework, and why it matters
• Apply the first step to your specific work environment and needs
• Practice giving feedback that helps team members adopt helpful improvement-focused behaviors
