General Session Keynote
Leadership Offense and Defense Strategies: Mastering Collaboration, Teambuilding, and Accountability
with Special Guest Paul Falcone
Building the muscle of your senior and frontline operational leadership teams is a wise investment that strengthens your people practices and culture. What makes managers excel lies in their ability to inspire, develop talent, and turn around flagging teams by creating a safe space for employees to do their very best work every day with peace of mind. Yet a “carrot” isn’t enough; operational leaders, senior executives, and business owners likewise need to know how to apply a proverbial “stick” from time to time in order to address substandard job performance, inappropriate workplace conduct, and other challenging situations that demand higher levels of employee accountability.
Join Paul Falcone, author of the five-book Paul Falcone Workplace Leadership Series as well as The First-Time Manager: HR and The First-Time Manager: Leading Through Crisis to drive higher employee performance.
