“How to Be an Awesome Boss: Strategies and resources for people-centered management”
According to Gallup, up to 70% of employee engagement is explained by one’s relationship with their supervisor. Decades of research and demonstration projects, huge corporate investments, the latest brain science, and a new wave of organizational psychologists such as Adam Grant, Brene Brown, and Simon Sinek are all converging to affirm that a coaching approach to management produces the happiest employees and best team results. This workshop explores how key elements of trust-building, empowerment, and authentic relationship can transform team performance and significantly improve employee retention even in the hardest times.
