KEEPING PEOPLE MOTIVATED AND ENGAGED IN AN AGE OF INSTABILITY

 
This program will focus on the key leadership skills necessary for you and your team to survive--and, yes, even thrive--in this age of instability; it will show you how to re-kindle hope and trust. Specifically, this session focuses on strategies and techniques for communicating more effectively in times of change, including better ways to deliver bad news and ways to keep team performance strong in the face of adversity. We will identify motivational techniques that can sustain and energize your people--and yourself--in the most difficult of times. We will focus on how to build "buy-in" and ownership by people for the changes necessary to get through tough times. Finally, we will focus on strategies for taking control of change in the future, keeping your team upbeat, and maximizing performance when the "going" seems to be the toughest.
