How to Hire & Retain in Seemingly Impossible Times
With the labor market as tight as it is the cost of a miss hire is exponentially growing. Often the root of the mistake lies in the fact that the person was wrong for the position or culture from day one. Their unchangeable adjectives, such as work ethic, self motivation, goal orientation, detail orientation, resilience or teamwork, simply did not match the job or culture and they were doomed to fail regardless of their experiences or how you thought you could train them. At the end of this presentation your practical skills will include:
- How to profile your high performers unchangeable adjectives by position and organizational culture.
- How to gather information that reveals candidates unchangeable adjectives.
- How to process that information to determine whether they will thrive in the position and culture.
- How to make new employees feel welcomed and valued.
Hard Conversations for Avoiders
This interactive presentation examines the questions: Why do we avoid? What are the costs? And, most importantly, how can we overcome this avoidance and have effective hard conversations? As an avoider myself, I knew I needed to find a way to overcome my avoidance or fail as a leader and person. As a result, I developed the "Golden Choice Method" and have since trained it to thousands from new managers to C-Suite executives. After this presentation your practical skills will include:
- How to effectively tell a team member they are not meeting performance expectations.
- How to effectively tell a supervisor you feel under appreciated or valued.
- How to tell family or friends that something is bothering you.
