IMPACT Teams have 3 things that define them:
- They communicate effective
- They have roles
- They are commited to growth
We will unpack the importance of defining roles but also having the team make sure they know how they align and the impact they have when there is respect for the roles.

“AS I’VE WATCHED WHAT PEOPLE DO, I’VE DISCOVERED THAT THE ONES I WANT WITH ME ARE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. - THESE PEOPLE DISCOVER RESOURCES IN PLACES YOU THOUGHT WERE BARREN. - THEY FIND PROSPECTS WHERE YOU BELIEVED THERE WEREN’T ANY. - THEY CREATE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE YOU THOUGHT NONE EXISTED. - THEY TAKE SOMETHING AVERAGE AND MAKE IT EXCEPTIONAL. - THEY NEVER MAKE EXCUSES – THEY ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.”

Topic #9: Leadership Flex

Topic #7: Improving Communication

Communication sounds easy but good communication is another thing. It is typically identified as the #1 trait of both great teams and great leaders. Conversely, it's the #1 issue at most organizations.
We focus not only on the importance of communication, but we will shared and discussed our own best practices on what to do AND what not to do to improve communication in your world.

Topic #6: Helping Your Team Hit Their Goals
|
|
A study by the University of Scranton showed that only 8% of people were successful at achieving their New Year's goals. That's right, 8%! That means 92% are failing to meet their goals but if F.A.I.L. stands for First Attempt In Learning, then why doesn't the number improve over time?
If we are not successful in our personal goals, are we forced to use our success at work goals to drive us? Is that enough to sustain our energy and happiness? We will dive into the challenges in how we historically set goals and look at the power of Planning Backwards to help achieve those goals.

Ownership and accountability are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. By fostering both, you create a culture of high performance and empowered teams. As a leader, your role is to create the framework and environment for both ownership and accountability to thrive.
Gallup's State of the Global Workplace Report: Found that organizations with high employee engagement (often linked to a strong sense of ownership and accountability) experienced 21% higher profitability, 22% higher productivity, and 41% lower absenteeism.

When introducing change to peers on a management team who are hesitant, it's crucial to approach the situation strategically and empathetically. This session, we will be discussing an ACTUAL scenario one of our leaders is facing and we will use the session to help them work through this challenge.

QUESTIONS FOR THE ARENA:
How can we help senior leaders understand the importance of empowering those who do the work? How can someone who possesses the knowledge and ability to help close a gap, without the repercussions of “Did you get approval to do that?” If process improvement happens where the work is being done, how do you appropriately communicate to a senior leader “Things aren’t how they used to be, and this needs to change”? |
