Business Growth and Revenue with High Performing Teams

Customer Engagement, Economic Uncertainty, the Competitive Landscape, Transformation and Talent Leadership are topics for organizations of all sizes. However, the talent area is the most challenging. Why? Because Talent Leadership not just management requires ongoing culture development, initiatives, and inclusive leadership. Being intentional about high performing teams means being vulnerable, touchy feely, and an ally. It sounds like the movies yet; high performing teams are a consistent theme in corporate success stories. They are a competitive differentiator and could enable increased leadership pipeline and retention. High performing teams also win business while earning repeat business. The best strategies are complemented by intentional and inclusive team development. Join this session to hear how high performing teams are critical to competitive advantage and how to avoid training your competitor’s team. In this session learn:

· Trends and organization challenges where trusted advisors are needed more than ever

· Talent and Transformation ingredients that positively impact business outcomes

· Techniques to promote and foster high performing teams

· Why inclusive leadership matters for everyone in the organization
