Evolving cultural, local and workplace norms are impacting how organizations need to hire and retain talent. Hear ways to make your people your greatest benefit.
When you think of a high performing team, what are the qualities you think this team possesses? On the latest Voltcast, Joanne and Jeff discuss how a group of people differentiate from a team of people. There are common qualities that we often see within great teams that range from trust and accountability to the ability to take feedback and to settle conflicts.
You work hard to get to know what your customers want and how much they are willing to pay for it. You define the right strategies for your business’ future. However, when you look around at your team, you do not always have enough of the right talent to fully implement and lead your strategies. Businesses in every industry face this growing challenge, especially as your organizational chart has holes caused by Baby Boomers retiring in greater numbers, and Gen X’ers and Millennials not quite ready to step into senior roles. Please join Jeff Smith and his guest Joanne Loce, as they discuss demographic trends and their impact on succession planning and talent development in the workplace. Joanne is Managing Partner of Fortify Leadership Group and a leading expert on Talent Development who has hosted numerous conferences on this important topic. Please join us for this informative and critical conversation at 1pm EDT on Tuesday, August 15th for Voltcast: Illuminating Leadership.
Joanne will be featured at the NACS Show this fall in Chicago, speaking on several topics. One will feature her teaching time management techniques to help prioritize more effectively and develop team members to focus on what's most important.
