In this era of doing more with less, our work environments cry out for a new style, a new approach to getting things done. Building high-performance organizations is easier with today's effective leadership techniques. This webcast will allow participants learn twelve elements of a process that enables people to work better as individuals and as members of teams to achieve bottom line results. Based on Roger Herman's book, The Process of Excelling.

Goodbye Sinatra, hello Sugarland.

As Baby Boomers retire in droves, businesses will have to replace them with the next generation of high performing employees and cultivate these very different workers into future leaders. To prepare for this shift, companies will need a talent management strategy to successfully develop and retain a next generation of top talent. But we all know this: what makes a recent grad tick is very different than what a 65 year old retiree expects. Cultivating a new generation of high performers will mean learning how they communicate, what motivates their loyalties, and ultimately what drives them to succeed.

This session will discuss the strategies employed by high performing organizations to attract and leverage the next generation high performers. We'll look at what works and what doesn't, debate best practices and discuss potential pitfalls. Join us for this lively debate and ensure that your company continues to perform at its highest potential. more »

High performers in successful companies are a force to be reckoned with; these "A Players" are on the fast track to success and many companies rightly focus significant effort on developing their talents.

But what about the rest of the workforce? Managers and supervisors are trying to find the tools and techniques that can motivate, develop and retain employees that play key supporting roles in the organization but fall a bit farther down the organizational chart.

A study by Harvard Business Review examined the factors that impact productivity and singled out key areas for managers to consider. The most productive individuals cited pride in their work, desire for recognition and job satisfaction as the biggest reasons for their success. Join us as we discuss talent management for the large group of individuals that keep organizations moving forward even if they aren't in line for the board room. more »
