We often hear and try to embody some version of the familiar adage that an organization is only as good as its people, and subsequently invest a lot in recruitment and hiring for talent. After we have hired, how much effort do we put into day one and beyond for those hard-won hires? This session will focus on what leaders can do to support staff after hiring through managing for diverse productivity styles. Actively drawing out and supporting work styles different from your own strengthens the performance of not only your direct reports, but also your team and organizational culture. Presenters will use a productivity style assessment and role-play scenarios to apply understanding, leaving attendees with tools to change not only their own day-to-day activities, but also their work with productivity styles different from their own.
Guiding Questions:
1) Are you interested in growing and keeping a team with diverse work styles?
2) Do you wonder if you tend to favor work styles similar to your own?
3) What can we do to create a culture and work environment that nets greater productivity by tapping into the differences in your team?
