In the context of the Age of Acceleration, most notable by the ever-increasing velocity and volume of technological innovation and change, the way we live and work is being rapidly reshaped. The implications of these forces on the future of work are profound, intensifying several key megatrends that will redefine brand leadership and economic sustainability for generations. Having an intentional and proactive strategy to address megatrends like the War for Talent, the Great Resignation and the Great Resistance - each directly traceable to our Age of Acceleration - is essential. This presentation will lay out a roadmap for both enterprises and individuals to effectively navigate these forces in a manner that delivers increasingly positive economic outcomes.

As teams grow, managers spend less time on the specific craft of their discipline. What matters more is that they can get the best out of a group of people. For example, no CEO is an expert across sales and design, engineering and communications, finance and human resources. And yet, she is tasked with building and leading an organization that does all of those things. At higher levels of management, the job starts to converge regardless of background. Success becomes more about mastering a few key skills: hiring exceptional leaders, building self-reliant teams, establishing a clear vision, and communicating well.

Learning Objectives:

• Performance Management Best Practices
• Tools for Continuous Improvement
• Coaching & Appreciation Strategies
