Session Details:
Lean and the Human Element – Tools for Conscious Leadership:
At any level in the organization, leaders can create environments where people can interact in conscious ways. When this occurs, productivity, quality, and safety metrics improve. The ability to build good relationships between people throughout the workplace is essential at all levels. When these relationships breakdown, information is withheld, immovable positions are taken, and interpersonal dramas escalate. To create and sustain a high performance organization individuals and teams must develop the ability to take healthy responsibility for how they present themselves at work.
This series turns the scope inward and focuses on you; the personal responsibility you take every day to own your attitude and relationships. We will explore what taking 100% responsibility looks like and learn how to utilize this power. These sessions will provide proven strategies to reduce personal and workplace drama and increase organizational performance.
