More Yoda, Less Superhero –
The Secret to High-Performing Leaders
presented by Jonathan Raymond
You got promoted to lead a team because you’re great at what you do. Leading a team of people is an entirely different thing. Whether you’re an engineer, marketer, or sales leader, to get the most out of your team in the modern world requires a different mindset. You have to learn how to create space for others to have a voice, to solve big problems, and to stretch outside their comfort zone.
Through real-life stories, thought-provoking questions, and practical examples, you will learn the three key behaviors that modern people leaders need to reach their business goals and give people the personal growth they’re hungry for at the same time.
In this presentation you will learn how to:
- Get out of firefighting mode and free up space on your calendar for strategic and creative work.
- Set clear expectations that inspire people to take ownership.
- Give developmental feedback using the Accountability Dial
