      Leadership Fundamentals:Why Follow

      Peter Drucker famously said that "a leader is someone who has followers." Short, sweet and true but somewhat thin on the daily skills needed to be a leader others want to follow. This presentation examines both the philosophical question of Why follow? along with the practical skills necessary to be someone who has followers.

       

      Culture in the Time of Covid

      A positive, energetic, collaborative culture is why talented people stay and companies thrive. And the opposite is true for organizations with negative cultures. We humans are wired to connect, to seek feedback, to feel like we belong. How are you making your people feel in this time of Covid? How are you keeping them connected from day 1? Culture is still critical during this isolating time period and there are practical steps you can take to insure it lives on and even grows.

       

      The Power of Little Wows!

      What separates you from your competition? Is it your product, prices, location? When you really think about it probably not for your competitors most likely have all the same things. What separates you is your people and how you make your customers feel, how they enjoy the experience of doing business with you. And it is the cumulative effect of trainable little wows that creates a culture of exceptional customer service that leads to the holy grail for any business or organization - customer loyalty.
