2:15 How One Great Team Can Transform An Entire Organization

OC Tanner

Jeff Birk, Manager of Speaking and Training, OC Tanner

Research shows that nothing drives employee engagement better than a team. In organizations where engagement is highest, what specifically are its teams doing? The Orange Revolution is about building strong, committed teams that affect entire organizations. This interactive roundtable discussion will cover how the best work teams share certain characteristics that unite teammates, drive productivity and can positively affect their entire organization. 1) They are united by a single and clearly understood cause.2) Each teammate lives by five key factors: goal-setting, communication, accountability, trust and recognition.3) The team commits to “wow” or world-class performance in all areas and all directions.4) They live with a spirit of “no surprises,” meaning open communication at all times.5) Cheer. This is the spirit of gratitude and celebration, support and thanks. The best teams enjoy a certain ‘esprit de corps’ that is not merely the product of happenstance.

James Trinka, Director, Training and Technical Development, Federal Aviation Administration

Hear about an innovative, research-based approach designed to increase employee engagement by building and exercising 21st century leadership competencies. Managers still play an important and vital role on employee performance and retention. Now, see how a long list of possible managerial activities and competencies was reduced to the “vital few accelerators” that have the most impact on improving both employee engagement and leadership effectiveness. This approach ensures that managers remember fundamental activities that create positive energy by recognizing and appreciating what is working (success), which produces greater engagement and momentum for change; ultimately achieving “breakthrough” increases in organizational results. Participants will learn:

The “vital few accelerators” that drive outcomes of employee engagement and leadership effectiveness
