Getting more from your people

Business owners and managers struggle with putting the right person in the right seat.  While an employee may have the experience, motivation, smarts – it does not mean that they have the instinct to perform a in certain position.  Employers run into “people challenges” for many reasons – but one of the key reasons is overlooking employee instinct.  This is a significant oversight because it can actively bring down the team; while understanding this information can unleash true team synergy (making the whole greater than the sum of the parts).

 Attend this session to learn about the following:

• Instinct (and – whether or not you acknowledge it – it is present on your team!)
• When to use certain talents on your team
• Implications of instinct in hiring
