Cultivating a Peak Performance Culture

Culture determines if and how our thoughts, ideas, and plans are enacted. Regardless of what you want to happen, culture determines everything in an organization. Because a team’s culture will determine outcomes, it is critical to look for practical ways to move from a default organizational culture — the one you have if you are not intentional — to a peak performance culture. Our trainers will guide you on how to design, build, and sustain a peak performance culture for your team, division, or organization. Show more ›
 

Learning Objectives

  • Assess your stated culture and the culture your teams are actually experiencing day-to-day
  • Apply frameworks and tactics to lead the shift from a current cultural state to your desired state
  • Enact key elements of a peak performance culture

Embracing Ambiguity and Change

Because of the pace of technology and workforce evolution, we experience a constantly changing environment in our organizations and in our lives. Leading a “change effort”—a specific project or event—has a specific pace, trajectory, and destination. Leading through change is different and requires a new set of skills and talents to navigate an unclear path and ambiguous destination. Embracing Ambiguity and Change trains participants on a set of fundamental tools that sharpen skills and build new talents, to allow leaders to not only navigate change but also expect and enjoy it.

Learning Objectives

  • Adopt mindsets that enable leaders to thrive in change and ambiguity
  • Leverage practical tools and frameworks in a dynamic environment to create consistency and joy as the work and world changes
