Win the Talent Management War
Managers are hired for their technical and functional skills. Most often they are fired for their lack of people skills. Seven out of ten people don’t quit companies—they quit bosses. When performance is the question, training isn’t your first answer—it’s your sixth answer. And yet, getting others to understand that is often half the battle.
In this fast-paced session Bob will identify the other five steps to improve performance and his top secret weapons to insure that you develop and keep great managers—and great people.
1:30 PM—Afternoon Session
