The research is clear: Effective one--on-one meetings are one of the most impactful tools a leader can leverage for their team. The challenge is that while more than 90 percent of leaders think they do one-on-ones effectively, the reality is more like 10 percent. This may be the single biggest leadership weakness.
Jeff Smith, founder and CEO of the SupportingLines Institute, will review the top ways all leaders can make their development one-on-ones more effective. He will demonstrate his unique and powerful method to conduct and develop effective one-on-ones and the difference between a tactical and development one-on-one and the importance of both. This method can be used by people managers and employees to bring structure to their one-on-ones, take control over their personal development, and improve the human experience of work.

Attend this session to learn:

A research-based, structured approach to one-on-ones that will change the way leaders relate to employees
A more effective way to hold people accountable to their development plan
A research-based approach to increase performance and improve the human experience of work


How Effective One-on-One Meetings Empower Leadership Transformation

Why One-on-One Meetings Are the Biggest Leadership Blind Spot

To accelerate talent development, we need a reliable way of assessing leadership potential.

Tomorrow’s Future Leaders Live Their Values Today

The fastest way to boost engagement is to involve your employees in the process of creating actions to increase employee engagement, while cultivating high performance.

The Real World of Employee Engagement

Most leaders understand that truly living organizational values is an important element of a high-performance culture. For this reason, 90 percent of organizations have defined a set of organizational values. Unfortunately, our research shows that while many organizations publish their values on their website or on signs around the office, the values are not prevalent in daily life. A further complication is that most organizations have no idea whether the values resonate with employees.
Living a set of meaningful core values is fundamental to having a high-performance culture—a culture in which we achieve critical goals while having a great human experience of work. The fact that so many organizations fall short of the mark presents an incredible opportunity from a leadership and organizational development perspective.
During this webinar, we will ensure you walk away with:
• A deeper understanding of how important values are and the impact of not living them
• How you can use a data-driven approach to create a meaningful set of values that will resonate with employees
• How you can use a data-driven approach to ensure that your values are prevalent in daily life and all employees are living them out
