Doug’s Topics

Teamwork can be both magical and challenging because the traditional work environment is changing. Leaders today need to facilitate rather than direct, empowering those closest to the customer to make decisions. This shift means leadership comes from all levels, with leaders acting as coaches, mentors, and partners. Effective organizations need leadership principles practiced by everyone, along with a flexible approach to developing people. This session explores how leaders can foster more independent, self-directed, and productive teams by addressing key questions like: How can we embrace change, boost accountability, maximize resources, and support empowerment? How can we focus on customer service, retain top talent, and improve communication to drive peak performance?

In today’s global, hypercompetitive marketplace with a scarcity of talent, companies are recognizing the growing need to identify, develop, and retain high-caliber leaders. This session will explore the factors driving the increased importance of leadership, including demographic shifts, heightened visibility, and increased pressures on leaders. We’ll discuss how companies can use well-developed personality measures to identify and grow their next generation of leaders. By leveraging behavior and personality insights, organizations can accelerate leadership development and time to productivity, helping to build motivated, productive teams. This interactive workshop will show how Behavior-Based Leadership and Human Capital Analytics provide objective, reliable data to understand what drives and motivates employees, and why leadership success varies across individuals.
